From extra-wide frontage to an expansive 2-level interior and secure off-street parking, this architect-designed and largely rebuilt as new 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence is a size surprise where an architect-led transformation has crafted a substantial, flexible and sophisticated family sanctuary. A quiet streetscape and north-facing façade reveal an impressive entrance with polished blackbutt floors, double-glazing, tall ceilings and extensive fitted storage, that continue throughout, leading to a versatile front bedroom with built-in robes and possible external access making it easily adaptable for work-from-home use, beside a big central bathroom (deep bath, frameless rain shower, stone-topped vanity) and a laundry area. Further accommodation is situated on the first-floor with 3 sizable bedrooms (with built-in robes) complemented by a shared 2-way bathroom (twin vanity, heated towel rail) that functions as a stylish ensuite to the main bedroom that also offers a walk-in robe. The rear of the home expands into a huge, full-width living and dining domain, that defies its single-fronted origins with loads of space and light creating rare family comfort and flexibility, by a large contemporary kitchen fitted with top-line Bosch appliances, breakfast bench and a walk-in pantry/appliance garage while finished with stone surfaces and soft-close cabinetry. Sliding doors connect seamlessly to a covered timber deck for relaxed alfresco entertaining, that easily extends into a private paved courtyard that, in turn, delivers secure off-street parking for 2 vehicles behind a remote-control double roller door. Other features include zoned central heating and cooling, video intercom, alarm system, CCTV surveillance, LED lights, copious storage throughout and a rainwater tank (pump). Comprehensively renovated, the result is a home of impressive proportions that is unmistakably modern for an outstanding family lifestyle in a prized city-edge pocket within effortless walking distance to schools including Sophia Mundi Steiner, Yarra River parkland and trails, the Convent Arts precinct, local cafes, Johnston Street shops and the train station.
