5 Laburnum StreetParkdale

Find your country hide-away by the bay and make history with grand land and a great beachside location. The area's first (and still most gracious) home set in lavish approx 9240sqft/858sqm grounds, this landmark c.1926 period beauty stretches wide beyond a sweeping 66'/20m frontage to offer timeless living... virtually rebuilt for today's family life. Home to an artisan and cafe-owner, this bay-windowed beauty is cleverly crafted with a versatile up to four bedroom, two bathroom floorplan featuring a grand formal lounge (robe-fitted to double as fourth bedroom) and lofty light-filled family living plus separate kitchen-dining each rising to sun-catching highlight windows in high-gabled rooflines. Cleverly accommodating with a vast master-suite (with sizeable vintage-style ensuite), the home wraps around to suit every stage of family life with a secondary bedroom wing of over-sized double bedrooms - one with walk-in robe, the other with curvaceous conservatory-retreat, perfect for independent children or in-laws. Creatively styled with a French farmhouse-style kitchen (with manor-sink, beehive tiling and Bosch dishwasher), the home's creative spaces retain all their original integrity with polished and stained timber floors, lofty strapped ceilings, entry leadlight and a lovely tiled fireplace...alongside contemporary comforts including ducted heating and cooling and well-fitted robes. Secure rare period beauty, give the kids the garden they deserve, grow a family within reach of the shopping strip, station, schools and the bay...make your family history here. Maybe even, grow the value in this wide and wonderfully well-located site with a brand new home or two (subject to Council Approval) and re-write history when you make the most of this prime beachside site.
