The new owner of this elegant 3-bedroom period property will be the envy of all others. Set in a prime location, the home sits on a tree-lined street and is just one block from Lake Wendouree. A superb blend of period features and contemporary updates, the home is beautifully presented.

Walk through a stunning formal front garden with hedging and standard roses, to the verandah complete with tessellated tiling. The glass front doors open to a wide central hallway with polished timber flooring and decorative archway leading to the centre of the home. Art Deco leadlight glass doors at the end of the hall look out to the leafy rear garden.

The master with ensuite is set to the rear of the home where it sits in privacy with clear views out to the gorgeous gardens. With high vaulted ceilings and timber panelled feature wall, this space is an oasis of calm. A wall of built-in robes provides plenty of closet space and the fully tiled ensuite with glass-walled shower is a statement of modern style. The two

well-sized bedrooms are at the front of the home with BIRs, while one has a mezzanine floor for study or second bed. Featuring contemporary design, a tiled bathroom with large shower, freestanding bath, toilet, and vanity with sleek tapware services family needs.

Deep skirting boards, high ceilings, decorative cornices, and picture rails are prominent period features throughout most of the property. A spacious formal lounge sits at the front of the home. A beautiful period fireplace with timber mantel commands attention as does the bay window offering views out to the lovely gardens.

Further along the hall is an open plan kitchen, family, and dining area. The updated kitchen is bright and light which works beautifully with the contrasting black appliances, including Smeg 900mm oven, cooktop, rangehood, sink and tapware, as well as expansive benchtops and splashback. Lots of cupboards and drawers plus a built-in pantry provide ample storage. A gas log fire in the family room is warm and comforting while a split system keeps it cool. Off the family meals area you have the study with views out to the garden. In addition, the home has ducted central heating.

Glass doors in the dining area open out to the deck and garden. The rear deck is an ideal place to enjoy breakfast or for entertaining. Covered by a vergola-style roof, it can be adjusted to take advantage of the sun or protect from rain. The north-facing garden enjoys the sun yet remains totally private. Lush lawn is surrounded by trees and a character-filled highbrick wall reminiscent of a secret garden. A large double garage has roller doors on each side so it can be accessed from the rear laneway and provide convenient entrance into the yard as needed.

This stunning home is a beautiful blend of period and contemporary, city lifestyle and private haven. Close to Sturt Street, shops, cafes, hospitals, recreation reserves and transport, this wonderful property is an easy walk from Lake Wendouree.
