60 Canterbury Street

Flemington VIC 3031

Framed by the converging plane trees that see Canterbury Street so widely adored, a block-board faade is quick to leave an impression, with interiors beyond both modernised for comfort and remaining true to heritage. With Baltic pine boards in the original section, blackbutt floorboards at rear, and a soaring, ornate ceiling teasing the scale and substance continued throughout, a wide hallway introduces four substantial bedrooms, a dual-access master ensuite, central bathroom with a spa bath, and expansive separate lounge en route to a magnificent main area.

With all-day rays enlivening family and dining spaces, sliding glass doors reveal a mains-gas barbecue deck for al-fresco entertaining, while northern sun, vibrant foliage, and complete privacy provide ideal accompaniments to a solar-heated pool and gas-heated 6-person spa. A gourmet kitchen couldnt be better-suited to the demanding cook and regular host, with an island slab of Carrara marble the centrepiece among V-ZUG conventional and warming ovens, a 900mm Smeg cooker, Miele dishwasher, Vintec wine fridge, stainless-steel worktops, and profuse cabinetry.

An oversized home office (with in-built automated sit-stand corner desk) gives professionals a full view of the pool and kids running around the backyard, while other highlights include two study stations brilliant for teenagers, 8kW solar energy (approx.), hydronic panel heating throughout and towel-rail heating in the ensuite, a wood-burning Morso fireplace and Jetmaster for cosy winter nights, sizeable workshop, abundant above-carport storage, a functional laundry and separate drying cupboard, Ubiquiti Wi-Fi system, camera security, garden irrigation, and secure off-street parking for four (including 2 undercover spaces).

With 57 and 59 Trams, Newmarket and Ascot Vale Stations, and CityLink streamlining commutes and Canterbury Stables Reserve right across the road, its only steps to the restaurants, cafs, bars, and shopping options of Newmarket and Union Road, while inner-city and Moonee Valley private schools, ever-tranquil Royal Park, picturesque river trails, and the racecourse all sit nearby.

SEALS THE DEAL
A gas-log fire, kitchenette, polished concrete floor, and bathroom all feature in an expansive self-contained back studio/games room, perfect as a pool-side escape, retreat for teenagers to claim, or base for visiting family.
