280 Nepean Highway, Parkdale, Vic 3195

Standing testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the Art Deco era, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom Parkdale family home offers timeless appeal with its character-rich aesthetics and towering three-metre ceilings while embracing modern family functionality with tri-zone living and entertaining complemented by a sun-drenched alfresco area.

Positioned on a 604*square metre landmark corner with Fifth Street access, the double-storey brick home, distinguished by its arched entry verandah edged with intricate masonry, is set behind elegant established gardens. Ornate Art Deco features are introduced in the elegant entry hall with etched glass windows and internal doors leading to the formal lounge which showcases a bespoke mermaid-themed porthole window, an original fireplace, intricate cornicing and picture rails. Polished Tasmanian oak floorboards flow through to the family living and meals area where the central stone-topped kitchen is equipped with Smeg appliances including a free-standing oven with 5-burner gas cooktop and rangehood and a dishwasher, while a huge amount of storage is available in the walk-in pantry. Glass sliding doors connect to a newly constructed deck overlooking the neatly landscaped lawn area and undercover Vergola-topped alfresco pavilion offering all-season entertaining amenity. The sanctuary-like main bedroom is positioned at the front of the home, and has built-in robes, as does the second bedroom, and there is a stylishly tiled bathroom with built-in bath and separate shower. The second bathroom offers further functionality as a laundry, while upstairs are a further two robed bedrooms, one with Bay glimpses, and the other with attic ceilings and custom joinery. Outside, the neatly landscaped rear garden incorporates a lush lawn, a paved area which is ideal for basketball practice, a fire-pit zone, and a garage with remote door access to Fifth Street. Additional features include ducted central heating, split system heating/cooling and under-stair storage.

Zoned for both Parkdale and Mentone Girls' Secondary Colleges, the home is close to the area’s elite private schools, shops, transport and the beach. Thriftpark shopping is just over the road, and it’s an easy walk to Parkdale Village and station.
