5 Rex Avenue, Alphington, Vic 3078

When they say "unique opportunity", this is what they really mean. Nestled in idyllic parkland surrounds, with on-title access direct to the Yarra River, sits the original 1907 timber Queen Anne/Federation attic-style house, in immaculate condition, with all its charm retained lovingly throughout the years. This is a prime example of the architecture of the time; from the asymmetric layout, hipped and gabled roof, octagonal turret, polygonal bay windows, to the angled fireplaces, ceiling roses, deep cornices, original hardwood floorboards and decorative timber fretwork. The home is enhanced by a mature garden, original garden cottage, and an additional garden studio added by the current owner to create delightful "his and hers" studios in keeping with the style, in the beautiful grounds.
Inside, the expansive layout includes three bedrooms, spacious formal drawing room and dining room, updated bathroom and separate powder room, large modern kitchen and light-filled meals/living area over looking the garden. Loads of storage space. Up the stairs, find a beautiful fully converted attic to a retreat/third bedroom.
Very rarely do you find this combination of heritage character and loving upkeep, with the bonus of fabulous parkland surrounds and direct river access. This really is one-of-a-kind, and a wonderful historic place for a family, close to Alphington Primary and many outstanding private and state schools, and only 15 minutes to the city.
