46 Hopetoun Avenue, Canterbury, VIC, 3126, Australia

Draped by a leafy canopy amid Canterbury’s Golden Mile precinct, this elegant family home is a delightful synergy of period charm and modern-day amenity. Enveloped by soaring 12-foot ceilings and gleaming floorboards, the home celebrates its infancy with a scattering of cast-iron fireplaces, intricate ceiling roses, and broad cornices.

Beyond a tuck-pointed façade and tessellated tile verandah, the home welcomes guests to a grand interior. Adjoining lounge and dining rooms create the perfect setting for refined entertaining against the cosy glow of a cast-iron fireplace, while stretching onto a leafy patio for alfresco retreat.

At the back of the home, a modern open plan domain nurtures day-to-day relaxation beneath an octagonal 18-foot cathedral ceiling, while gathering family and friends for dinners in a casual meals area. The spacious stone-topped kitchen sits centre stage, effortlessly catering with a full array of appliances and abundant timber cabinetry.

Connecting with a sunny brick patio, the home hosts lively indoor-outdoor celebrations, while the sprawling yard indulges boisterous kids’ play under a splash of northern sun.

The accommodation matches three lavishly sized robed bedrooms with two modern ensuites and a family bathroom, complemented by a large home office or a fourth bedroom. Finished with a large laundry, and a remote-controlled double carport via Grange Avenue, the home delivers an idyllic lifestyle on a rambling 815m2 (approx.) corner site, while delivering an inspiring future with no planning overlay restrictions.

Positioned for family, this prestigious precinct lies amid Melbourne’s elite public and private schools, while within a leafy amble of Maling Road’s village shopping, Canterbury station, and Canterbury Gardens, and minutes from Camberwell Junction, Balwyn Shopping Centre, and the Anniversary trail.
