Offering an idyllic lifestyle, this stately home with subtly retained period features sits among designer gardens by Paul Bangay. For sale by Antony Woodley of Collins Simms Fitzroy North.
Beautifully presented in English style, this recently refurbished family residence occupies a quiet position on the old Oakland Estate in Kew’s Studley Park precinct.
Originally built circa 1934, the property is framed by front and rear soaring liquid amber and oak trees and sits in leafy gardens designed by Paul Bangay which stretch back to the reserve along Thornton Street.
Behind the heritage facade with high pitched gables, the home’s interior exudes warmth and character with subtly retained period features superbly blended with its more contemporary styling.
Oak herringbone parquetry floors flow through the downstairs leading to a library/dining room, powder room and the formal and informal living areas where glass walls surround a central courtyard with tranquil water feature. A superb marble and stainless steel kitchen plus a large adjacent laundry and study lead to a gently shaded terrace and outdoor entertaining area.
Upstairs accommodates six bedrooms with BIRs, including a main with ensuite and private balcony, two family bathrooms and a walk-in dressing room.
Close to the CBD, the property offers an idyllic lifestyle near to Kew Junction shops, including Leo's Fine Foods, Toscanos, cafes and restaurants, while also offering easy access to schools, public transport options, Victoria Gardens Complex, Abbotsford Convent and the Yarra River recreational parklands.
