172 Rathmines Road, HAWTHORN EAST VIC 3123

In a prime location surrounded by prestigious schools, transport and renowned shopping and dining precincts, this magnificent double-fronted brick Victorian is set to deliver one of the South East’s most coveted family lifestyles. Elevated and set back on a generous 519sqm (approx.), a prized polychrome façade, most likely constructed from locally fired bricks, hides all the elements that make these homes such highly sought after assets. A series of generously proportioned rooms retain their soaring ceilings, elegant open fireplaces and classical detail in a largely original layout arranged around a wide arched hallway. At the rear, a previously extended kitchen, bathroom and laundry make the way forward abundantly clear. Take advantage of the five impeccably preserved original rooms and design a renovation/extension (STCA) that delivers a state-of-the-art family home in this prestigious pocket between Camberwell Junction and Glenferrie Road. Opposite Rathmines Reserve, a deep verandah with iron lacework provides a gracious introduction to five principal rooms that feature tall double sash windows and ducted heating, four of impressive proportions with open fireplaces and soaring ceilings, followed by a large eat-in kitchen and bathroom, separate laundry and private rear garden with shed and gated parking. Enjoy a lifestyle of easy convenience just a short stroll from highly regarded Auburn Primary, Auburn Village and Camberwell Junction shopping and dining, trains, Burke Road trams, and both Carey and Camberwell Girls Grammars with minutes to Kew and Hawthorn private schools, and Swinburn University.
