53 Canterbury Road, Heathmont, Vic 3135

It takes class to extend and renovate a mid-century weatherboard whilst still retaining its vintage beauty. That signature fusion has created a truly exquisite family home in the school catchment for popular Ringwood Secondary College (STSA).

Occupying a deep 696 sqms (approx.) site, with the home set well back from the road behind private garden screening and fencing. The heritage finery of high ceilings (3 meters in the main living), stucco paintwork, picture rails and hardwood floors capture all the elegance of the ‘50s build, adding a light-filled second living space and a guest bedroom with ensuite to serve the needs of the modern family.

The interior is rich with natural light, flowing across a split-level layout that positions each of the 4 bedrooms in their own private corners – with a sweet sunroom bringing vacation vibes to the front guest bedroom.

An elegant, elevated kitchen comes equipped with premium appliances including a Miele dishwasher and 90cm s/s oven and gas cooktop – with formal and casual dining areas wrapping around its central hub.

A claw bath, marble top vanities and tessellated tiling add to the heritage flair, with lovely al fresco spaces opening through romantic French doors. The magnificent north facing deck is set under a high pitch roof, overlooking the neat rear yard and its versatile bungalow, suitable as an office space, gym or hobby studio.

Solar panels, a carport, Daikin split system heating /cooling, central heating and evaporative cooling, open fireplace and café blinds around the deck complete the impressive feature list.

What a unique property this is in a lifestyle location close to village shops and cafes at Heathmont Village, the train station, Eastland, Eastlink, Tintern Grammar, Aquinas College, Aquanation pool and gym, and some of Heathmont’s most beautiful parks including Wombolano Park and its Sensory Trail.
