49 Cavanagh Street, Cheltenham, Vic 3192

Forget blue chip Brighton, Gold-Class Cheltenham is on offer here! Crafted by a team of Old-School master-builders (now in their third generation), this prestige town-residence offers quality and attention-to-detail rarely seen outside Melbournes elite suburbs.

Rich Spanish terracotta tiles, 120-year old recycled Redgum cabinetry (from Hideaway Joinery in Echuca), thick granite benchtops and a sweeping recycled Victorian Ash stair are just the start. This superior home puts the focus on quality with prestige extras including Blanco appliances, top-of-the-range reverse-cycle air-conditioning, double auto-garaging, a main spa bathroom and a 3,000 litre water-tank to keep just-the-right-sized gardens healthy.

Classically styled with generous three bathroom accommodation, the floorplan is also a timeless classic. Theres a flexible ground-floor bedroom with ensuite (perfect for guests), and a vast upstairs master-domain comprising double shower ensuite, WIR and access to a private balcony. Two clearly defined living areas perfect for casual and formal entertaining (or just opulent lounging and dining) are supplemented by an upstairs retreat with second balcony making the perfect media space.

Even the location is a blue-chip beauty. Standing tall on a private corner site, this freestanding home captures views of the gracious gardens of Retreat House from almost every room...while offering Southlands retail therapy within a minute
