24 King Street, Glen Iris, Vic 3146

Like a family heirloom, this polished beauty shows the original art and craft of a fine home from Edwardian times. The creamy Baltic Pine floors, deep-red timber, colourful leadlight glass, open fireplaces, fancy fretwork and lights that dangle from roses in very high pastel-shaded ceilings have been beloved features of tasteful home owners for 100 years. The four original downstairs rooms have been bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms and study in their time - but the spacious upstairs bedroom is new with huge spa ensuite and terrific walk-in robe - plus french doors opening to cute little balcony at tree top height. Light and open kitchen has the warmth of timber and the cool efficiency of stainless-steel appliances. The modern family living and dining room is in the same style with latest materials and opens to a leafy, peaceful, private rear garden with double carport and remote control garage door from R.O.W at rear. Located in the most convenient area for nearby trains, shopping precincts, farmer's markets, great parks, walking and bike tracks - plus fine public and private schools - it's an heirloom that may continue for many generations to come.
