A meticulously curated renovation and extension has transformed this classical three bedroom plus two study Victorian residence into a modern day masterpiece with a lofty showpiece open-plan and alfresco rear to tantalise home entertainers. Creating an attractive street presence that is perfectly in sync with its heritage-rich surrounds, the home proudly merges high-end appointments with family-friendly proportions and proximity to the elite private school belt.

A visually striking gourmet kitchen reveals a Smeg oven / cooktop as it sits at the home’s heart before stepping down to a spacious dining / living room where spectacular floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors extend the space out to a wrap-around deck and private backyard. Paradise for entertainers, the home also features a more formal dining room warmed by an open fireplace.

Each of the downstairs bedrooms features traditional marble fireplaces – one also with walk-through robes that lead to a stunning ensuite where a walk-in shower sits independently to a feature bathtub – whilst upstairs, the third bedroom is a wonderful sanctuary with another stunning ensuite and a huge home office that frames sweeping city views. Further highlights include a downstairs study, a powder room, hydronic heating and air conditioning.

From this most esteemed of Hawthorn streets, you can walk easily to all the vibrant shopping, café culture, dining and bars of the Glenferrie Road and Burwood Road precinct, plus you have multiple tram routes nearby, trains from Glenferrie Railway station and easy access to the Yarra River, whilst a smorgasbord of elite private schools can be accessed in just a few minutes.
