A breathtaking fusion of Edwardian elegance and contemporary luxury, this impeccably renovated five-bedroom, four-bathroom residence showcases extraordinary character, refined interiors and exceptional family living. Set on a coveted corner block in a lifestyle-rich Bayside neighbourhood, it pairs timeless architectural beauty with light-filled spaces, generous proportions and spectacular outdoor entertaining.

Beyond the traditional verandah, an inviting entrance hall introduces elegant formal living and dining rooms. A meticulous owner-builder renovation has beautifully restored the home’s period grandeur, with decorative cornices, ornate ceiling details, exquisite leadlighting and original Rimu hardwood floors adding warmth and distinction.

Soaring ceilings and expansive glazing define the impressive open-plan living and dining domain, complemented by a stone-finished kitchen and butler’s pantry appointed with an inviting island bench and premium Bertazzoni and Miele appliances. Bi-fold doors create a seamless transition to a superb alfresco entertaining zone, complete with remote-controlled shelter and shade, a pizza oven, charcoal spit and natural gas BBQ. A heated azure-blue swimming pool completes this exceptional outdoor retreat, designed for effortless entertaining and relaxed family enjoyment.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across two levels, with three ground-floor bedrooms serviced by two beautifully tiled bathrooms featuring frameless showers. Upstairs, two further bedrooms are accompanied by stylish bathrooms, while the luxurious main suite impresses with dual walk-in robes and a sophisticated twin-vanity ensuite featuring a double rainfall shower. A versatile upstairs retreat or home office provides valuable additional flexibility.

Further highlights include a spacious laundry with extensive storage, ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, hydronic underfloor heating, excellent storage solutions, an irrigated front garden, advanced security and automatic gated entry to off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

Zoned to highly regarded Gardenvale Primary School, the location places Hawthorn Road trams, Martin Street station, local shops, cafés and restaurants within easy walking distance, with city-bound buses close by. Bayside beaches, leading private schools and convenient city access via Nepean Highway further enhance the appeal of this remarkable family residence.
