Set quietly back beyond deep bluestone walled garden in a prime Studley Park precinct position, this superbly enhanced four bedroom and study family residence combines grandeur, grace and brilliantly extended space in a secluded pool-side entertainment sanctuary. Easy rear access via Beatrice Street complements the exceptional convenience of this tuckpointed Hawthorn brick home nestled on a 743 sqm approx. corner allotment only moments to Kew's prestigious private schools.
