Immersed in the enchanting character that distinguished the Art Deco era, this delightful solid-brick home delivers a peaceful family lifestyle amid leafy surrounds. Occupying an immense 780m2 (approx.) block in the prestigious Reid Estate, the home offers immediate access to verdant parklands, playgrounds and recreational facilities, tantalising eateries, and daily conveniences, the Palace Cinema, city-bound trams, and Melbourne’s best public and private schools.
Enveloped by ornate 10-foot ceilings with decorative plaster mouldings, elegant light sconces, and leadlight features, the home flaunts the graceful style of its day. A vast lounge room easily gathers family and friends beside a Prairie School-styled open fireplace, seamlessly integrating with a fireside dining room for vibrant celebrations. At the rear of the home, a sun-filled family room enjoys a bright and airy ambience for casual relaxation, adjoining a spacious kitchen offering room for family meals.
Each bedroom is lavishly sized for rest, play, and study, including a private master suite with wall-to-wall wardrobes, complemented by a central main bathroom in retro style. Outside, the lush northerly gardens offer sundrenched enjoyment for alfresco dining and kids’ play. A self-contained accommodation unit contains a living room, bedroom, and bathroom for guests and extended family, while a large studio delivers versatility as a home office, workshop, or gymnasium.
Complete with extensive under-house storage for the handyman or wine connoisseur, plus two lock-up garages, the home offers immediate comfort while presenting scope to add your own aesthetic flair through a luxurious renovation (subject to council approval).
