10 Vaughan Avenue, Canterbury, Vic 3126

Directly abutting reserve parkland just a short stroll from Maling Road Village, this fabulous c.1924 Bungalow and its easy care garden with pool provide a generously renovated four-bedroom plus study accommodation just minutes from leading private schools. Positioned on the arc of an exclusive family cul de sac, charm-filled original proportions blend beautifully with a striking architectural extension that unfolds to expansive alfresco areas and the landscaped pool surrounded by the parkland’s open spaces and leafy trees. Behind a traditional verandah façade, a double entry links together three bedrooms with high ceilings and timber floors, including the generous ground floor main with ensuite and one an optional second living domain with open fireplace. Beyond, extended spaces provide easy family living and entertaining in a free-flowing arrangement that includes a sunken lounge defined by a soaring cathedral ceiling, tall brick open fireplace and poolside views, granite-topped kitchen featuring family-sized ILVE cooking appliances, breakfast bar and adjoining family dining, and a nearby laundry with bathroom easily accessed by guests or swimmers. Above at mezzanine level, a large fourth bedroom or retreat provides further family flexibility with robes/storage, ensuite and a secluded study/home office. Highlights include ducted heating, split cooling, pale timber floors, original leadlight detailing, professionally landscaped entertaining areas with vine-draped dining pergola, extensive decking and travertine paving, garden studio with workshop/gym and loft storage, and off-street parking. Walk through adjoining parkland to Maling Road Village, trains and Strathcona with minutes to Balwyn and Camberwell shopping, other leading private schools, Canterbury Primary, Camberwell High and Canterbury Girls Secondary College.
