SOLD BY JASON VOGLIS & CHRIS VLAHOS- Classic architecture and modern design elements combine harmoniously to present this character-filled three-storey residence, located in perhaps Heidelberg?s best street.
Beautifully landscaped grounds with peaceful pockets to sit back and relax beneath the shade of leafy trees deliver your own park-like experience, while the home?s charming facade is a reminder of its 1914 character. Venture inside and be prepared to have your breath taken away by a radiant floorplan that?s a celebration of Heidelberg living with a modern twist.
Timeless period features including beautiful architraves, decorative Art Deco plasterwork, open fireplaces, polished timber floorboards, leadlight features and soaring high ceilings complement the modern style infused throughout the spacious floorplan, which incorporates multiple living areas, a generous collection of spacious bedrooms and stylishly renovated bathrooms.
Enjoy your afternoon tea break out on the large front verandah, positioned to capture the Northern light whilst savouring the outlook across the enclosed front garden. And during cooler periods, throw some logs into the open fireplace, which delivers plenty of warmth to the formal lounge and formal dining across the hallway.
If the front half of the home is all about the charm of a bygone era, then the rear captures the very essence of modern living, where a sun-kissed open-plan meals/kitchen (lengthy island bench, timber benchtops, quality stainless steel appliances and walk-in pantry) effortlessly unites via bi-fold doors with a wraparound balcony to create seamless indoor-outdoor living.
A downstairs retreat is versatile in nature and therefore lends itself to a host of options, and with three large bedrooms (Master with sitting area with views, built-in robes and renovated ensuite with frameless walk-in shower) zoned upstairs and two additional bedrooms (or one bedroom and a study ? the choice is yours!) occupying the main level, the home is well-equipped to handle the demands of a growing household.
Furthermore, this breathtaking residence set on a stately 917sqm (approx.) block with a wide frontage and rear access also features a large wine cellar (with double doors), split-system heating and cooling, gas ducted heating, solar panels and a grassed backyard with three water tanks, large park like established gardens, storage shed with toilet, and vegetable garden.
Revel in the broad vistas to the Dandenongs, Eaglemont ridge and Yarra Valley from many windows and the sun deck.
The sought-after setting is within the shortest of strolls of the bustling Burgundy St cafe and shopping strip, Heidelberg Primary School, Our Lady of Mercy College, Heidelberg train station and the popular Main Yarra Trail meandering through acres of sprawling parkland.
