Kew East VIC 3102

Evoking all the charm of a bygone era, this architecturally significant, four-to-five bedroom, circa 1950s home is a landmark family residence, lovingly maintained on a commanding corner allotment of 1074 square metres (approx.) and offered for the first time in almost half a century. A character-rich classic with a north-facing backyard and sun-drenched swimming pool, the home is free of single dwelling covenants, ready to be enjoyed today, renovated at your leisure - potentially extended upstairs for city views - or even redeveloped (STCA) in this coveted Kew East pocket.

Beyond a terrazzo-style front verandah, the home opens to reveal a grand entrance hall resplendent with herringbone style flooring, rich timber cabinetry from the 50s and easy connection to a staggeringly large lounge / dining room that benefits from its own terrace. Updated with stone benchtops and a 900mm Blanco oven / cooktop, the kitchen / meals is the home's contemporary heart, connected both to the lounge / dining room and an informal family room with parquetry flooring.

The bedrooms were each proportioned to accommodate multiple siblings and have been finished with built-in robes - two also with access to another terrace - plus there is a huge, independently accessed home office that can more than comfortably serve as a fifth bedroom or rumpus room. Additional highlights include a double lock-up garage, a heritage-styled bathroom with shower and independent bathtub, as well as an in-ground swimming pool serviced by a second bathroom, plus there is central heating and split system air conditioning.
