Canterbury VIC 3126

Gracing a picturesque tree lined avenue in the blue chip Maling Road Precinct, this beautifully renovated Victorian c.1895 residence perfectly combines exquisite classical elegance with luxuriously finished modern proportions on an impressive 900sqm (approx.). Set in mature landscaped gardens with pool and carport, the romance of the era is retained in this generous single level home where multiple living domains, serene poolside entertaining and a prestigious position deliver a premium family lifestyle just footsteps from Strathcona. Making a significant contribution to the streetscape as one of the precinct's earliest homes, the enchanting verandah faade with its iron lacework and bay window still precedes the impressive original rooms that have hosted successive families for over 125 years. Soaring rosette ceilings and handsome marble fireplaces with decorative overmantles endure in light filled living rooms, one featuring built in bookcase/storage, and four large bedrooms with robes, including the main with fitted walk in robe and ensuite. At the rear, a magnificent cooks' kitchen equipped with Miele induction cooktop, smeg pyrolytic oven, integrated Liebherr fridge / freezer and impressive marble island provides the central hub for zoned open plan living areas with open fire and extensive storage and family dining surrounded by a bright bay window. French doors unfold to alfresco entertaining overlooking the tranquil pool and the verdant rear garden. Other highlights include family bathroom and laundry with drying cupboard, ducted heating and cooling, landscaped garden designed by Scott Leung, pale timber floors, coloured glass and leadlight detail, water storage, carport and gated off street parking. Walk to Maling Road Village, Canterbury Station and highly regarded public and private schools.
