Step into history with this remarkable Tudor-style home, designed by renowned architect "Buchan Geelong" and built in 1931. Occupied by only two families since its construction, this character-filled residence sits proudly on a generous corner block, spanning across two titles and covering approximately 1,778 square meters.
With its stately high ceilings, exposed Australian Red Cedar beams, and polished Tasmanian Oak hardwood floors, this home exudes charm and sophistication. The grand entry foyer, highlighted by vintage lighting from the 1920s, sets the tone for the rest of the home. A beautiful timber door opens into the spacious lounge featuring a classic brick gas fireplace and a traditional dining room, both adorned with William Morris Roman blinds. The large kitchen boasts Corian countertops, custom timber cabinetry, integrated appliances including a Miele dishwasher and JennAir refrigerator, an ILVE gas cooker, and a beautifully detailed tiled backsplash.
The main level features two spacious bedrooms, a central bathroom with a large walk-in shower, a feature vanity, a spa bathtub, and lead light glass windows. A convenient coat room and mudroom complete the downstairs layout. Upstairs, you'll find a third bedroom with built-in robes, a dedicated office, and a cozy sunroom, all connected by a feature staircase with a stunning lead light glass window and window seat at the landing.
The property also offers an external laundry, a double garage, ample storage space, and a powder room in the adjacent outbuildings. The meticulously landscaped gardens and a sunken outdoor area provide a tranquil retreat on the north-east facing allotment.
With two titles, including a secondary 550m2 lot, the property is ideal for subdivision or building a second dwelling for family use (STCA).
