Reflecting the sheer elegance and significant dimensions of classic 1920's architecture, the exceptional proportions and versatility of this distinguished period home impressively meet the needs of modern family life in a premier locale with Hartwell Sports Ground at the end of the street and proximity to leading schools, Burwood Station, village shops, restaurants, cafes and Toorak Road trams. Steeped in history, this majestic residence situated on a wide allotment was the first to be built on Beryl Street and has only been enjoyed by two families. Picturesque gardens with meandering pathways, sun-drenched patios, shaded verandahs and an undercover alfresco entertaining area embrace the home, creating a private haven welcoming bird life and delivering a serene vista from almost every window while inside, artisan lead lighting, high ceilings, picture rails, fretwork and cosy open fireplaces deliver yesteryear charm throughout. Meticulously maintained and lovingly updated over the years, the home continues to surprise, offering flexible choices for comfortable living, sure to meet the expectations of the most discerning buyer. Entertaining and relaxation options are endless with an opulent formal lounge room opening to a private verandah at the front of the home, central living and dining rooms overlooking the rear garden, country-style kitchen (DW) adjoining a casual family room, substantial conservatory and spacious guest accommodation equipped with additional kitchen facilities. Accommodation is spread across two levels and comprises an expansive main bedroom (BIRs) and three further bedrooms (BIRs), all serviced by a sympathetically renovated family bathroom with luxurious clawfoot tub and an additional modern bathroom. A full-size laundry with extensive storage, ducted vacuum, heating, air-conditioning, automatic irrigation, alarm, carport plus plentiful off street parking and undercover outdoor storage are just some of the attributes of this truly prominent piece of Glen Iris history.
