29 Elder Street, Blackburn, Vic 3130

In an urban landscape that's constantly changing to reflect modern times, here stands a timeless beauty intentionally built to capture the essence of a bygone era with the benefits contemporary living provides. And with a leafy street location regarded as one of the finest in the area, this Federation-inspired masterpiece is quintessentially Blackburn. With the exterior dressed with the charm of early Australia and the interior styled with French provincial character, the combination of the two delivers a warm country feel in the heart of Blackburn, with Blackburn Primary School, Blackburn Village Station shops, North Blackburn Shopping Centre, Blackburn High School, the Eastern Freeway, transportation and Blackburn Lake only moments away.

Having been designed around family living, this exceptional two-storey family residence therefore has a strong focus on practicality and functionality. Zoning the main living areas downstairs to unite the household together plus a large study/rumpus area upstairs that's ideal for child's play, this is a home to be lived in and enjoyed by all. What's also clear is the meticulous attention to detail and appointments of the highest order, with beautiful fabrics that dress the large windows, glass light switches, carefully crafted bathrooms, warm timber floors, stunning high ceilings, corbelled archway, gas ducted heating, refrigerated cooling, 4.2kw solar panels and video intercom amongst the standout features.

Open-plan living hits all the high notes in the heart of the radiant downstairs layout, where a designer Provincial kitchen (with stone island bench, 900mm freestanding cooker, Fisher and Paykel stainless steel dishwashing drawers and Butler's pantry) and generous meals area flows through to an airy family living to create a seamless central living space. Two sets of French doors also open to unite the interior with a show-stopping decked alfresco, styled with a pitched ceiling, wood combustion fireplace, Jacuzzi, wall-mounted TV and built-in speakers to deliver a five-star indoor-outdoor entertaining centrepiece.

All bedrooms have been designed for maximum comfort and privacy, with the Master bedroom (with plush carpet flooring, gas fireplace, walk-in robes and period-inspired ensuite) enjoying a peaceful position away from children's accommodation wing, which is tucked away from the open-plan setting and serviced by a glamorous family bathroom with plantation shutters, freestanding soaker bath corner frameless shower. Privacy is also a hallmark of the manicured backyard, which is bordered with mature trees and wonderfully landscaped with low maintenance gardens and a synthetic lawn so that the kids won't ever leave a trail of muddy footprints inside. Finished with plenty of storage, large separate laundry and remote double garage, be the lucky family to live happily ever after here.
