Facing beautiful Hazelwood Park, this gracious and much admired triple fronted gentleman's bungalow on a large 880 sqm garden block with a wide frontage is one if the finest preserved examples of art deco architecture in the Eastern suburbs that will attract families looking for an exceptional lifestyle home.
Filled to the rafters with original aesthetic art deco character features including ornate ceilings and dado friezes, leadlight doors and windows, art deco doors and frames, original bathrooms with art-deco tiles, this home is a purist's dream.
Art deco was influenced by bold geometric forms of Cubism (think the Chrysler Building in New York) and took its name from a short abbreviation of Arts Decoratifs, a style first introduced in Paris at the Exposition Internationale des Art Modernes in 1925.
This home was bespoke built just a few years later and its exquisite craftsmanship has been preserved intact for almost a century despite being thoroughly renovated in a sympathetic way by the current owners.
Set well back from the street behind a wide lawn verge and a stunning cast iron and masonry front fence and amid a formal front garden filled with formal hedges, topiaries and parterre gardens, a wisteria covered archway leads to the front veranda and leadlight front door.
The impressive entry opens into three rooms, all with immaculate polished timber floorboards, spread across the entire front of the house that can be left open for entertaining or divided into more intimate areas by closing sets of leadlight double doors.
The current owners have used one zone for formal dining, another area for formal living and a third area as a study. All three rooms are of grand proportions and have picture leadlight windows overlooking the front garden filled with established roses and other mature flowering shrubs.
Behind the polished timber entrance hallway, a secondary polished timber hall leads to four double bedrooms.
The main bedroom includes a stunning en-suite bathroom and walk-in dressing room and three other bedrooms share a bathroom suite that includes a separate shower room, toilet room and bath room.
An internal conservatory with tessellated tiles opens onto a library/study on one side that could be converted to a fifth bedroom if required and a huge kitchen/family room is positioned on the other side.
The open plan family room includes a streamline kitchen with Caesarstone benchtops built by Jag Kitchens and a large butler's pantry.
The informal dining area and a third living area opens via two sets of French doors to the expansive back garden overlooking an attractive gazebo and various alfresco dining areas as well as parking for up to four cars.
Hidden below the gazebo is a Word War 11 bunker that the current owners use as a wine cellar. The home was bespoke built in 1938 for the then director of Harris Scarfe department store.
There is plenty of room to sink a swimming pool but Hazelwood Park's large pool is just a stroll across the park in the boutique corner of Hazelwood Park.
The property has valuable rear access to Cowan Court where there is a community tennis court and a lush lawn area which is meticulously maintained by Burnside Council.
Imagine inviting friends home for a barbeque and tennis party in the back lane or a picnic across the road in stunning Hazelwood Park near the creek or pool. This home is just perfect for a large family and there's a good reason it has only changed hands a few times over the past 90 years - its a great home with a versatile floorplan in a great location!
Hazelwood Park is zoned for great schools including Glenunga International High School, Linden Park and Burnside Primary schools and this home is within walking distance of hiking trails to Waterfall Gully as well as the Feathers Shopping Precinct, Burnside Council and Burnside Shopping Centre. There's a gym a couple of hundred metres away and bus routes to the city and Burnside a few metres away.
