Original elegance, fully renovated modern function and a grand inner city parcel of some 684m2 (approx.) combine to offer families both significant space and sensational options in this immaculate double fronted brick Victorian in a premium Balaclava address. Positioned behind a 14.3m (approx.) frontage and leafy landscaped garden, the beauty of the era is evident in its beautifully broad verandah façade and series of gracious original rooms that retain their soaring rosette ceilings and rich artisan character. Beyond, renovated/extended areas provide easy family flexibility with two spacious living areas and a custom contemporary kitchen unfolding to a large indoor/outdoor deck with drop down café blinds and deep rear garden with remote double garage and additional parking via a rear ROW.
A wide hallway with decorative arch links together the five original rooms including the main bedroom with clever WIR and rain shower ensuite, three additional bedrooms, one with BIRs, and a gracious living room. At the rear, the stone finished custom kitchen featuring Siemens induction cooktop, twin Miele ovens, integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer and extensive storage overlooks the first of two family living domains, the second featuring an OFP. A full family bathroom, large laundry with extensive storage, hydronic heating, split cooling, ceiling fans, hardwood timber floors ensure complete move in ready comfort in a home wonderfully appealing as is whilst also providing options to further update/renovate or even rebuild (STCA) and create one of the area’s most magnificent family sanctuaries.
Walk to Carlisle Street, trams, trains and buses, Greenmeadows Gardens, local childcare and kindergartens, Ripponlea Primary and leading private schools including Caulfield Grammar and Mount Scopus’ GBH campus. Minutes to Ripponlea Village and Glen Huntly Road Elsternwick.
