Embracing enchanting period character within a light-filled contemporary design, 'Shenley' is a four-bedroom home that offers an easy-care, indoor-outdoor lifestyle within the coveted Golden Mile precinct. Beyond a picket fence and pristine gardens, the picture-perfect facade celebrates a bygone era, welcoming guests through a leadlight entrance to an interior framed by lofty ceilings and Jarrah floors.

Teeming with natural light and garden views, the zoned layout easily transforms from private relaxation to vibrant entertaining. A formal lounge and dining room mingles guests beside a cast-iron fireplace and custom cabinetry, integrating with a casual open plan domain that nurtures everyday living and family meals.

At front of stage, the kitchen hosts family and friends over a granite-topped breakfast bar, while catering with a full appointment of appliances and plenty of storage. French doors open to a north-facing patio, indulging alfresco dining amid a private screening of lush, easy-care gardens.

The main bedroom is placed downstairs, pampering parents with a luxe spa-ensuite and a walk-in robe, complemented by a home office or fourth bedroom with built-in robes and bookshelves. Upstairs is the kids' zone, providing a central retreat for play or study, plus two attic-styled robed bedrooms and a skylit central bathroom.

Cossetted in the comforts of ducted heating, split system air-conditioning, and under-house rainwater storage, the home delivers an idyllic family lifestyle in sought-after surrounds. Situated within footsteps of sprawling parklands and the Anniversary trail, the home is a leafy stroll to Camberwell High and Canterbury Girls' schools as well as numerous private colleges, while an easy walk to Maling Village, trams and trains, and Camberwell Junction's array of indulgences.
