An elegant original facade and perfect street appeal are the delightful first impressions of this landmark home that presents a stunning array of contemporary features overlaid by its timeless c1920's beauty. Comprehensively re-modelled with bricks from a demolished Melbourne warehouse and extended with a strong architectural focus and expansive walls of glass surrounding the open plan living zone, this home is a masterclass in design and function. The front of the home has retained classic features with corbelled archways, wide skirts, decorative ceilings, French doors, and a feature fireplace filling its spacious rooms, while the rear extension makes a bold statement in industrial luxe without losing charm. Optimising its 1065sqm block, rear gardens frame the home and assure absolute privacy, and with stacker doors opening wide from the living zone, the line between the home and garden are blurred, creating the ultimate indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The class of this home is further enhanced by the home's premier location. Feeling wonderfully private within one of Hamilton South's most prestigious streets, this leafy parcel is astonishingly close to lifestyle attractions.
