A refined expression of 1930s craftsmanship, this grand residence offers a rare combination of period elegance, flexible living and expansive garden surrounds, set on a magnificent allotment with views across the Yarra Parklands. Beyond its stately façade and manicured front lawn, the home immediately conveys a sense of warmth, character and enduring quality. Inside, high ceilings, hardwood floors and plantation shutters frame beautifully proportioned interiors where timeless charm meets modern comfort. Sunlight streams through large windows in the main living and dining area, while a gas fireplace creates a welcoming focal point.
