49 Havelock Road, Hawthorn East, Vic 3123

Defined by a bold synthesis of its original 1930s Art Deco heritage with more contemporary architectural excellence, this stunningly renovated four bedroom plus open study residence is magnificently proportioned for family life in a location of unrivalled appeal, right on the cusp of Camberwell Junction. Presiding grandly over an exclusive Hawthorn East streetscape and accessed via manicured formal gardens, this is a visually striking, double story home in which carefully curated aesthetics are matched by supreme livability.

As it highlights perfectly preserved ceiling detail, leadlight windows, picture rails and dappled Art Deco plasterwork, the home transitions to a contemporary open-plan rear that is announced by a light-letting double-height void that is adjacent to the staircase. Underpinned by a gourmet kitchen in which a suite of Neff and Miele appliances is complemented by stone benches, a huge walk-in pantry and a seamless alfresco flow, the open-plan features a wall of work-from-home friendly built-in desk space and has been curated for gathering with friends and family.

Upstairs, the main bedroom offers a blissful sense of parental sanctuary, impressively scaled with its own living room, walk-in robes and a stunning ensuite, whilst each of the remaining bedrooms have been completed with built-in robe storage. Meanwhile, a separate lounge is an ambient room at the front of the home, rich in original character with a fireplace.

As expected in a home of this caliber, this list of additional highlights is considerable, extending from a rear-accessed lock-up garage and secure front driveway parking, to a series of brilliant storage options that include under the stairs and an attic in the laundry, plus there is a large central bathroom, zoned and central heating and air conditioning.

Simply stroll around the corner to immerse yourself in all the energy, café culture, fine dining and cinemas of Camberwell Junction, where multiple tram routes and trains from Camberwell Junction offer access to the CBD and a diversity of elite schooling options.
