37 Rathmines Road

Hawthorn East VIC 3123

There's no denying it - this stately 1880s Victorian residence enjoys a prominent position on the corner of Rathmines Rd and Rathmines Grove, in an extraordinarily desirable pocket with close proximity to the gates of Melbourne's top-tier schools, and an easy stroll to all the local area offers. With the unique advantage of street frontage and side access to Rathmines Grove, it delivers a rare sense of space in an inner-city setting. Showcasing large rooms and stunning period flourishes that harmonise with a contemporary renovation, revel in the seamless flow that stretches through peaceful living zones out to a sunny north-facing backyard boasting a wide back garden, a solar-heated pool, and a gas-heated spa - the ultimate setting for year-round entertaining.

The finer details.

Embraced by landscaped gardens, invite friends inside to where the lounge with a romantic marble fireplace and dining room extend out to a very private under-cover alfresco. Select a premium wine from the 5,000-bottle capacity wine cellar and socialise in this unique space, or savour the vintage in the generous meals/family room. A dream entertainer, the Smeg/Miele kitchen with stone island looks out to the poolside alfresco, protected by a six-metre auto sun awning.

The extras.

Walk with your kids to a local kinder or to near-by Auburn Primary School, or wave them off to Carey Grammar, MLC, Ruyton, Scotch College, Trinity Grammar, Xavier and many more great near-by schools. An idyllic family neighbourhood in the heart of the action, wander around the corner to vibrant Auburn Village cafes and the Auburn Hotel, or venture a little further to Glenferrie Road or Camberwell Junction - both hubs of exceptional dining and retail. Stroll easily to beloved local playgrounds, sports grounds, off-leash dog parks, and the city-bound train.
