Rising grandly above its privileged ‘Rookery Estate’ streetscape, this exquisite, Federation-style home presents a rare and captivating sense of opportunity on a coveted allotment of 854 square metres (approx.) with convenient rear car access. Steeped in tradition and ready for renewal, the home presents a flexible four bedroom floorplan with exciting possibilities for intrepid period renovators and new site developers (STCA) looking to take full advantage of this most rewarding riverside location.
Creating a grand street presence, the home’s solid brick construction is complemented by leadlight windows and wrapped in a timber veranda before opening to an attractive entrance in which an iconic circular window is complemented by pressed metal ceilings. Before culminating in a basically presented kitchen / meals with walk-in pantry, the home reveals a trio of bedrooms with open fireplace – one of marble – as well as a lounge with another fireplace plus a bay window and a dining room.
Outdoors, a large backyard plays host to a sundrenched and paved outdoor dining and living area that is perfect for an alfresco life, plus there is a large garage at the rear with plenty of workshop space and an upstairs fully contained bedroom with ensuite. Further highlights of this historically significant home include a laundry, gas heater and a compelling sense of future opportunity.
Nestled into the meandering bends of Melbourne’s Yarra River, this most exclusive of locations opens up the possibility of easy access to the village charms of Burwood Road at Hawthorn West, the vibrancy of Glenferrie Road and the authenticity of Richmond, while multiple trams and trains from Hawthorn Railway Station ensure effortless commuting to both the CBD and a selection of elite private schools.
