18 Miller Street, Carnegie, Vic 3163

The kerb appeal of this home is enormous and instantly demonstrates the good taste, the love, and the meticulous care that has gone into not only preserving the beauty of the residence's art deco beginnings but also into successfully contemporising it. This is a property that is loaded with superlatives - a perfect location, a prized leafy street, and a superb home that has been so obviously cherished. Authentic original period features are matched with bright white paintwork to juxtapose the old and the new. The wide entrance hall is just the beginning - high ceilings, lovely ceiling ornamentation, dark stained timber panelling, plate rails, magnificent leadlight doors, hardwood floor... The lounge room has similar leadlight and decorative ceiling as well as picture rails and fascinating timber detailing on the window architraves. The home has a flexible floorplan that is currently configured with 3 bedrooms - 2 of master bedroom size. The central bathroom is charmingly original while the laundry and the powder room have been modernised. The bright kitchen has a Miele dishwasher, new stainless steel Smeg stove (gas cooktop), easy clean cabinetry and soft closed drawers and doors. An informal living/dining room (with sitting and dining areas and built-in seating) is flooded with sunlight and has french doors providing an enchanting aspect to the private, manicured, plant-fringed rear garden where 2 separate decks invite you to entertain outdoors. Oh, the alfresco parties you could hold here! On an allotment of approx 567sqm, this wonderful property, with garage and extensive off-street parking, is in a prized location in easy strolling distance to parks, reserves, schools, recreation, shops, cafes, trams, trains and buses.
