65 Manningtree Road, Hawthorn, Vic 3122

Introduced by a superbly maintained botanical garden, this grand Californian Bungalow has been tightly held for almost 60 years within an exclusive pocket of Hawthorn, steps from Glenferrie Road, city bound transport and Melbourne’s esteemed private school belt. An ode to its c1923 origins, substantial proportions, ornate period detail and soaring ceilings adorn a versatile single level layout offering immediate appeal, with exciting scope to renovate, reconfigure or even build a contemporary extension with an additional storey (STCA), taking full advantage of its 609sqm approx. allotment and north facing rear aspect. A large foyer introduces timber panelling throughout formal living and dining rooms, centring a light filled kitchen with walk in pantry at the heart of the home that overlooks a sunroom/meals area with in built seating. Four zoned bedrooms comprise a spacious primary suite with built in robes, as well as a sizeable northerly bedroom with an in-built desk ideal for teens or a home office. Additional amenities include two bathrooms, one featuring laundry facilities and a separate powder room, ducted heating, leadlight windows, sprawling rear entertaining with an undercover area, double carport and additional off-street parking accessed via side laneway. An exceptional position elevates this rare opportunity set to stand the test of time, walking distance from trams on Power Street and Glenferrie Road, Glenferrie and Hawthorn station, local cafes, pubs, bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets, Lido Cinemas, parks, the Yarra River Trail, and is on the same street as Glenferrie Primary School, close to St Joseph’s Primary School, MLC, Xavier College, Scotch College, Carey, Ruyton Girls’ School and Trinity Grammar School.
