Its surrounds doubtless some of Melbourne's most exclusive, this exquisite Edwardian (c1910) offers a tranquil family retreat rich in modern luxuries, period intricacies, and vibrant flora.

Exceedingly private courtesy of a towering box hedge, an assortment of thriving plant life precedes an enticing façade and superb interior beyond, with a suite of elaborate, original details spanning leadlight windows, Baltic pine floors, fireplaces, and soaring, intricate ceilings. With a skylit hallway enjoying wonderful passive light, a grand, graceful entrance parts considerable living and dining areas; quiet complements to a brilliant entertaining area at rear. Extensive book shelving, a bay-window lounge, and gas fire enliven a combined family/meals space, while a neighbouring, skylit kitchen sees upscale Miele and Smeg appliances, sleek stone benchtops, and a profusion of soft-close cabinetry heightening hospitality prowess to no end. A sublime space to unwind among swathes of vivid greenery, a decked outdoor setting makes clever use of the home's northern orientation, with all-day rays enriching afternoons in the company of friends.

Family functionality at the fore, a substantial main bedroom is enhanced with a walk-in robe and luxe ensuite with under-floor heating, while three further, robe-lined bedrooms are smartly served by a stylish central bathroom and additional powder room (third WC). Embodying the elegance and charisma of its prestigious Canterbury position, other highlights include comprehensive heating and cooling, plantation shutters, Queensland spotted gum floors and a ceiling fan to extension, gas fire to living, open wood fire to dining, large laundry, sizeable, powered shed, and secure double carport accessed via rear laneway.

Zoned for acclaimed Chatham Primary, Camberwell High, and Canterbury Girls' Secondary while within easy reach of revered Camberwell Grammar, Girls' Grammar, and Fintona Girls' School, it's central to the diverse dining, shopping, and nightspots of Balwyn Village, Maling Road, and Camberwell Junction, with Canterbury and Chatham Stations, city and Box Hill-bound 109 trams, and John August Reserve mere steps away.
