HouseKew (Australia)

A grand and imposing family residence rising above the evergreen beauty of Kew’s exclusive Studley Park precinct, this charming, four-to-five bedroom home is nestled behind exquisite, Wysteria filled gardens, on an elevated allotment of 843 square metres (approx.). Just a few short steps from the verdant trails of the Yarra River, pristine bushland and Studley Park Boathouse, this is a particularly chic home of rare character and prestige with plenty of longer-term scope and outdoor areas that bask in northern sunshine.Organised over three light-filled levels, accessed via a sun-drenched north-facing terrace and introduced by a generous entrance hall in which the high-gloss parquetry floors are resplendent, the home revels an updated kitchen with timber benchtops and superior appliances. Overlooking vast dining and a lounge that is warmed by a showpiece granite fireplace, the open-plan also flows outdoors to a paved rear alfresco dining area that caters further to home entertaining.A flexible floorplan accommodates the needs of large, growing and multigenerational families, as well as those with work-from-home requirements as it reveals a main bedroom with a visually striking ensuite and an independently accessed studio / home office / fifth bedroom set downstairs.Additional highlights of this opportunity-filled home include a rumpus room / downstairs living, built-in robes or walk-in robes, a second renovated bathroom, double lock-up garage, large sun-drenched outdoor living areas, reverse cycle heating and air conditioning.Offering a unique blend of inner-city convenience and pristine natural surroundings, the home is just moments from all the cafes, dining, shopping, bars and vibrancy of Kew Junction where multiple tram routes ensure easy commuting to both the CBD and a diversity of Melbourne’s most highly regarded private schools, plus you have the Eastern Freeway nearby for easy access both to the city and the Mornington Peninsula.
