83 Prospect Hill Road

Camberwell VIC 3124

Beyond the hallway, a series of living spaces unfold with a quiet sense of occasion: a fire-lit family room near the front offers a restful retreat, before an open living, dining and kitchen zone forms the heart of the home to the rear, warmed by a fireplace of its own. A shaker-style kitchen at its centre balances traditional character with everyday practicality, its large stone island bench, glass-fronted cabinetry and a farmhouse sink beneath a window to the garden bringing considered ease to daily life, complemented by a subway-tiled splashback, dishwasher and pantry.

Four bedrooms unfold across the home's single level, each with a character of its own. At the front, the main bedroom is bathed in soft light through a broad window over the garden, anchored by its original fireplace and ornate timber mantle, while a second bedroom also carries its own fireplace and a built-in robe. Toward the rear, a third sits beneath its own gable with views to the garden, presenting the opportunity to double as an elegant sitting room or a considered home office. A fourth bedroom, dressed in soft green tones and generously proportioned, sits beneath a three-arm mini-chandelier, with a sliding door connecting directly to the second bathroom.

Two bathrooms carry the same considered restoration through to the everyday. The main appointed with dual vanities over a stone-topped benchtop, subway tiling and a mosaic floor, soft light playing over a pair of characterful mirrors, complemented by a second bathroom with its own bath, pedestal basin and panelled door. A separate laundry with generous linen storage completes the home's practical spaces with the same attention to detail.

Outside, a paved terrace bordered by layered garden beds extends the living space outdoors, made for long summer lunches, while established planting lends the garden a settled charm that's rarely achieved so close to the city. A private driveway leads past the garden to a covered carport, a separate carspace and a workshop with room for tools, bikes or extra storage, rounding out this considered offering for those seeking space to live, entertain and grow with ease.
