11 Frogmore Road, Carnegie, Vic 3163

Packed with period features but extended and updated to meet the demands of today's family, this solidly built residence is tranquilly set in mature gardens. What an inviting picture it makes from the street! Inside, it is equally charming and engaging. The wide entrance hall could more fittingly be called a reception room, so substantial are its proportions. Superb period features give it a serene elegance and warmth. Ornamental strapped ceiling, high ceilings, deep skirting boards, stained timber architraves, timber fretwork, stained glass door panels, picture rails, sconce lights, jarrah floorboards - it's a spellbinding introduction to a magical home. A formal lounge room (or 4th bedroom) and dining room have innate grace, while the large informal living room is open, relaxing and awash with natural light. It includes a kitchen with gas cooktop and timber benchtops. French doors and a big sliding door lead out to the verandah for undercover alfresco entertaining, a paved area for entertaining in the sunshine, and the private rear garden. The home has 3 large and airy bedrooms serviced by a central bathroom, and also a shower room off the laundry and utility room. On a corner block (approx 740sqm), this beautiful property has roller door access (via Wahgoo Road) to off-street parking, and is near parks, reserves, trams, buses, local shops and cafes, Chadstone Shopping Centre, and the aquatic centre plus other excellent recreational facilities.
