Raphael Houston proudly presents... Built to specification by a merchant builder in 1996, the property's original elements have only increased in significance with the passage of time. The solid timber kitchen, thick drapery, and gas log fireplace demonstrate an artistic expression and level of craftsmanship that surpasses more recent developments. The stately facade and double column portico entry suggest a scale and scope that is appropriately reflected within the generously sized entertaining zones. Comprising both formal & informal living areas, the floor plan comes to life across the free-flowing family room before spilling out onto a generous undercover terrace expanded by a wraparound patio and wide open lawns. The material composition is understated, yet elegant. Subtle architectural elements frame each space and are most notable along the graceful curvature of the central stairwell. Above, three generously sized bedrooms with BIR, a central family bathroom, and a master bedroom with dual BIR, WIR, and private ensuite are intersected by two full-sized retreats. The generosity of entertaining space is complemented by substantial storage and an oversized ground floor laundry. Property highlights include a ground floor bedroom/office, ceiling fans in the bedrooms and family room, A/C in the family room, split-system A/C in the master bedroom, ducted heating downstairs & zoned upstairs, alarm system, external roller shutters on the north & west facing windows, a main bathroom spa, and generous off-street parking. Overlooking CB Smith Reserve, live across from Fawkner Secondary College & Bonwick Street village in a celebrated central district that places Fawkner station & Merri Creek parkland within walking distance of the door.
