A magnificent avenue of majestic plane trees in the prestigious Sackville Ward introduces a remarkably rare opportunity on a north-facing rear 1510 sq. metre allotment (approx.) held by the one family for 88 years. Flanked by a N/S Mod-grass tennis court, solar-heated swimming pool and enchanting botanical garden, this charming double-storey residence (1954) is warm and welcoming with an enduring ambience reflecting decades of family pride and enjoyment.

The home of solid brick is superbly designed capturing leafy aspects north and south as well as an abundance of natural light. While comfortable with three large bedrooms, study or 4th bedroom and two bathrooms, there is exceptional potential to beautifully renovate and extend or, with no heritage overlay, build a new luxury residence (STCA) with the option of retaining the secluded north-rear garden with its lush canopy of rare tree species.

Enviably located in a highly-coveted Kew pocket treasured for its family-friendly community spirit, one of the great drawcards of the area is its proximity to private schools and parks where only a short stroll away are Carey Grammar, Preshil and Genazzano, while just nearby are MLC, Ruyton, Trinity and Xavier College and the popular retail, restaurant and transport hubs of Glenferrie Road, High Street, Camberwell Junction, Balwyn and Box Hill Central.

Securely accessed via remote-control gate and intercom, this delightful home with adjoining double garage offers downstairs main bedroom with BIRs, upstairs bedrooms with desks, bathrooms on both levels, study, generous living room (easy-clean open fireplace) adjoining a dining room, spacious kitchen with gas stove and dishwasher, separate laundry and ducted heating. There's also a garden-set studio/office, workshop and rainwater tanks.
