3 Fellows Street
Kew

Gracing a beautiful, lush updated garden allotment spanning 1,201sqm approx. this landmark, two-storey, slate roofed Victorian residence c1886 is a grand, rare piece of local Kew history. It was the first home in Fellows Street, built by one of the most highly regarded architectural firms of the time, Reid Henderson & Smart. Whist built in the boom times, it is not typical of the Victorian era, making it historically fascinating and today it retains it’s pre-eminent status as one of the finest period residences in Studley Park. Offering an exceptional family lifestyle with perfect amenities for intimate to large scale indoor-outdoor entertaining, or enjoy the company of friends in a glorious garden setting featuring whimsical trees and resplendant hedges - a world away from the vibrant inner city nearby.

The integrity of the classic period attributes including timber fretwork and iron lacework verandahs, stained glass windows, marble FPs, arched hallways and high ceilings with roses have been sympathetically retained; whilst recent refurbishing and luxurious contemporary updating to the interior, including soft furnishing, new carpets and designer light fittings result in a superb residence which showcases its exquisite elegance and the proportions typical of the late 1800s.

The current accommodation features a formal living room and lounge/music room both opening to the northern verandah – perfect for a morning coffee or evening drink; a lavish dining room, rare severy/wine or utility room, pristine downstairs bathroom and superbly appointed kitchen and adjacent laundry equipped with prestige Euro appliances and new high-end white goods. Flowing to an outdoor dining and entertaining area overlooking a heated in-ground pool with swim jets and a half basketball court. Upstairs features five bedrooms, main with a dressing room, a second pristine family bathroom and roomy store/study nook. Tree-top views to the northern ranges and City skyline glimpses from the verandah add a romance and magical experience, supporting modern features including video intercom, an alarm, ducted heating and cooling, high end appointments, new pool electrics, automated irrigation system, 40,000 litre underground tank, remote gates and tandem off-street parking.

This magnificent home with private gardens and sweeping lawns flowing to the front entrance is enviably surrounded by the prestigious real estate situated in the coveted Studley Park precinct. Conveniently situated only minutes from Kew Junction cafes, restaurants and shopping including Leo’s Fine Foods and Toscanos; with easy access to the Yarra Boulevard parklands, numerous elite schools and tram/bus public transport options. Plus the CBD, Yarra Valley or the Mornington Peninsula via the Eastern Freeway, all of which enhances the family lifestyle appeal attributed to this area.
