This captivating Edwardian has been extensively renovated from start to finish to deliver a stunning designer-styled ambience to suit the lifestyle of young professionals, families or retirees scaling down. Period charm is stunningly complimented by a classy contemporary fit-out throughout the generously proportioned layout.

Crowned by the spectacular vertical dimension of high ceilings, French Oak timber floorboards line the wide hallway leading to three over-sized bedrooms – two featuring ornate fireplaces and all three fitted with built-in robes.

Bathed in beautiful natural light, the open-plan living and dining room flows effortlessly to a north-east facing alfresco courtyard creating a seamless indoor-outdoor setting – perfect for casual family get-togethers, relaxed barbeques and dinner parties under the stars.

The gourmet kitchen includes stone benchtops, Bosch appliances and a big central island bench/breakfast bar providing additional seating and a handy workspace for meal prep and presentation.

The central bathroom makes a stunning statement with its freestanding elliptical bath with floor-mounted tapware, separate shower, and basin sitting on top of the timber vanity.

Rounding out the highlights are split-system air conditioners, ducted heating, concealed European laundry, abundant storage options, skylights, ceiling roses, leadlight, Plantation Shutters, and a front courtyard.

The coveted location allows for easy walking proximity to trams, Balaclava Station, highly regarded schools, café-centric Carlisle Street, Hewison Reserve and Greenmeadows Gardens.
