Commanding a premier Grace Park Estate address, this gracious family residence c1890 fuses sympathetic light-filled expansion with exquisite Victorian origins in expansive and elegant garden surroundings. Secluded and serene on a 938 sqm approx. allotment in an exclusive park-side pocket on the corner of Mary Street, this four bedroom and study home presents a blue-ribbon family lifestyle opportunity near prestigious private schools and the Glenferrie Road precinct.

Private established garden designed for all-seasons entertaining in a glorious sun-drenched setting embraces the return veranda and picturesque façade of this eminent slate-roof home. Grand ceilings, arches and polished floorboards are introduced at the entrance hall extending to a study or bedroom (OFP), and with solid marble open fireplaces, a large sitting room and a superb main bedroom suite featuring study area, walk-in robe and a luxury freestanding bath ensuite.

An upstairs children's wing is perfectly tucked away offering three oversized bedrooms with walk-in/built-in robes, a powder room and an immaculate modern bathroom including separate shower and a freestanding bath. Offering sweeping north-westerly views over the garden, a ground-floor family zone with spacious living and dining areas under a soaring lantern ceiling adjoins an excellent gourmet kitchen boasting Miele/Liebherr appliances, chilled/boiling/sparkling-water Zip tap and a walk-in pantry.

Further is a second powder room and a full-size laundry while a range of high-quality features include hydronic heating, split-system air-conditioning, ducted vacuum, video intercom, LED lighting, plantation shutters, wine storage plus automatic gate off-street parking, a remote-control double garage, plumbed heavy-duty clothes drying area as well as an underground rainwater tank and garden irrigation.

Alfresco entertaining in complete seclusion is an absolute delight with a series of spaces cleverly created to use as the occasion, the weather and the time of day or year dictates. First is an undercover terrace with a Ziegler & Brown BBQ and a Husky drinks fridge, then there's a second covered terrace with a pizza oven, a firepit area and a self-cleaning, gas-heated pool, all laid out amidst magnificent landscaped grounds.

Captivating and first-class for a discerning family by L. E. Bray Park, the home takes pride of place in Hawthorn's most sought-after location surrounded by highly-prized amenities from Glenferrie Road's cafes, restaurants, cinemas and tram and train transport options to a selection of leading schools including Xavier, MLC, Trinity, Ruyton, Carey and Glenferrie Primary School.
