14 The Ridge

Canterbury VIC 3126

Straight from the pages of a storybook, all the romance of its English Revival design remains in a perfectly preserved exterior positioned at a rare 45-degree angle to its sweeping 26m frontage. A handsome entry porch introduces interiors of immediately impressive size and character defined by high decorative ceilings, brick fireplaces, delicate leadlight and bay windows, original timber panelling and joinery and hardwood floors.

A large formal living room with gas fireplace is accompanied by equally handsome formal dining and a library/living room with built in bookcase storage. An impeccably finished and presented 1970s kitchen featuring extensive handcrafted storage and ILVE Majestic dual fuel range accompanies original family dining with gas fireplace and bureau storage, a ground floor study/fifth bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms with excellent BIRs, one with kitchenette, are served by a second family bathroom.

Outside, a breakfast terrace and undercover alfresco areas overlook the garden with fenced pool, poolside cabana and extensive lawn areas perfect for whole family cricket matches, a game of touch footy or grand benchmark birthday parties. Other highlights include original light fittings and door hardware, extensive built in and roofline storage, garage/workshop with first floor studio loft or sixth bedroom, extensive driveway and secure OSP.

From this premium Oak Tree lined position, walk to Camberwell Grammar Schools, Burke Road trams and Outer Circle Trails with minutes to the cream of Melbournes private schools, Camberwell Junction shopping and dining, Balwyn and Maling Road Villages.
