A stunning family residence that seamlessly combines heritage character with contemporary luxury. Featuring three spacious bedrooms, two modern bathrooms, open plan living, and a beautifully landscaped garden. This exceptional home is ideally located close to all amenities.
Most period renovations fight the original floor plan. This one read it. The front two rooms kept their ceiling roses and proportions. The rear opened up where Victorian homes always wanted to: north-facing glass onto a garden deep enough for a proper table under the established magnolia.
The kitchen runs along the western wall with soft-close cabinetry, a 900mm Smeg cooktop, and enough bench space that two people can cook without negotiation. Upstairs, the main bedroom spans the full width of the house with a walk-through robe to an ensuite that has actual ventilation, not just an exhaust fan and a prayer.

Established trees, wide streets, and a mix of original Victorians and sensitive renovations. The demographic skews to families and downsizers who want walkability without the density of Richmond or the price tag of Toorak.
