33 White Avenue, Kew East, Vic 3102

THE DEAL
A meticulous architecturally renovated Art Deco masterpiece seamlessly blending timeless period charm with contemporary luxury — where every detail is considered, and no expense has been spared. 
 
As you enter the original part of the residence, where a sophisticated study or fifth bedroom awaits, you’re instantly drawn to the original period features like curved windows, parquetry floors, and roof detailing. The grandeur continues into the master suite, adorned with 3-metre ceilings, Grey Ironbark hardwood floors, a spacious walk-in robe, and a lavish ensuite featuring floor-to-ceiling Travertine tiles, bath and bidet, shower, and double vanity. Continuing through the original section of the home, discover two additional spacious bedrooms with built-in robes and a central bathroom with full floor-to-ceiling travertine, shower, and double vanity. 
 
There is a beautiful separation and link between Art Deco & Contemporary as natural light cascades through the floor-to-ceiling windows — it’s a seamless transition into the contemporary new build that has been designed accordingly to maximise living. The heart of the home, the kitchen, is a culinary haven boasting a Calacatta Marble plinth to cleverly hide the sink and tapware, integrated fridge and freezer, Gaggenau double ovens, and massive amounts of storage. The whole area is deliberate to effortlessly match and flow into the outdoor entertaining area — recessed pelmet and flush door rails make the whole area morph into one when the large glass sliding doors are opened. Unwind by the enclosed wood fireplace in the living area or step onto the covered deck for year-round entertaining, offering never-to-be-built-out leafy views of the landscaped backyard and Hyde Park.
 
Downstairs, versatility reigns supreme with a self-contained studio area featuring a kitchenette and private entry, ideal for a home business, guest accommodation, or teenager's retreat. The Travertine tiled finish continues in the bathroom on this level, as well as a full-size laundry, both cleverly hidden behind flush doors that can be closed off to form a hallway to the beautiful multi-purpose living area — perfect for entertaining, a kid's TV room, or a home gymnasium. The rooms are all tiled in bluestone except for the bedroom which features engineered timber floorboards. Like the upstairs, the area has been designed to seamlessly open up to the outside, with the recessed glass sliding door rail and continuation of the bluestone tile. While outside, lush landscaping and a manicured backyard provide a tranquil retreat, complete with an undercover entertaining area as well as direct access to the park at the rear of the property. The feature here though is no doubt the mature tree that encompasses the entire space with its height and canopy. 
 
The location of this home embodies the essence of suburban bliss with its welcoming family-oriented atmosphere. Residents enjoy a plethora of charming cafés on Willsmere Road, perfect for leisurely brunches or afternoon coffee catch-ups. Moreover, Kew East’s appeal extends beyond its coffee and culinary delights, boasting proximity to some of the area's top primary and secondary schools, ensuring a quality education for families who choose to live here.
 
SEALS THE DEAL
The level of consideration in this renovation needs to be discussed once more. The period Art Deco façade and features of the original residence and the seamless transition into its contemporary counterpart at the rear — both have been perfectly curated together to offer its occupants the best of both worlds.
