Prepare to fall in love with this four-bedroom plus study home which retains old-world charm while being a contemporary, light-filled family haven. Baker Drofenik Architects renovated and extended the 1930s suburban classic so that it is filled with light all day avoiding the hot western sun. Four rooms off the central hall include the master bedroom with walk-in-wardrobe, storage and contemporary ensuite. Further three good-sized bedrooms (two with BIRs) share a family bathroom. Polished concrete floors mark the transition to the new open-plan entertainer's kitchen with meals and living zone. North-facing, this supersized space brings the outside in through sliding glass doors to a large courtyard garden perfect for entertainment. A massive timber island bench, Miele and Smeg appliances and great storage make a dream kitchen, while a carefully placed window offers views of the treetops, birds and, even the rising moon. Beyond the kitchen and meals area is a generous living room and spacious study. To top it off the home features hydronic and underfloor heating, polished concrete floors, a gas fireplace and off-street parking for two cars (one undercover). Walk to Pitcher Park, Darebin Parklands, Yarra Trail and Alphington and Fairfield station.
