Veiled by a stately Victorian façade, this contemporary indoor-outdoor entertainer is brimming with family space, natural light, and promising potential. Hemmed by lofty ceilings and broad windows, each living domain captures a stream of sunshine and garden vistas, opening into the gardens and pool for an ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

Offering the lavishly sized rooms of a century ago, the home effortlessly mingles crowds of family and friends in a vast lounge room, promoting relaxation beside a marble-swathed open fireplace in Louis XV styling. The adjoining dining room ensures seamless entertaining, accommodating the biggest of tables under elegant brass pendant lights.

The kitchen delights in indoor-outdoor enjoyment, drenched in sun through clerestory windows and bi-folding doors, peeling open to the swimming pool, low-maintenance gardens, and an alfresco deck. Gathering guests around a hostess island, the kitchen and butler’s pantry caters with Neff appliances, while smartly dressed in chic stone benches. A large rumpus affords space for kids at the back of the home, adjoining a bathroom and an octagonal spa to enjoy winter nights indoors overlooking the garden.

Adjoining the front terrace, a robed guest bedroom provides privacy adjacent to a travertine bathroom. Upstairs, the family is nurtured with four robed bedrooms and two marble bathrooms, including a split-level master bedroom with space to work beside a north-facing balcony, plus a twin-basin ensuite, and a roomy customised dressing room.

Providing an internal-access double garage via a rear right of way, this unencumbered 652m2 (approx.) site with dual frontage tempts exciting new opportunities for a luxury new home design or townhouse development (subject to council approval).

Zoned for Camberwell High and Canterbury Girls’ schools and surrounded by Melbourne’s premium private schools, the home sits in a prestigious pocket at the doorstep to Canterbury Gardens, Canterbury station, and Maling Village, while minutes from Camberwell Junction’s endless indulgences and entertainment.
