7 Beaconsfield Road, Hawthorn East, Vic 3123

Grandeur and distinction that heralded a new era in architectural design characterize this substantial residence c1890 offered for the first time in over 50-years and presenting a rare opportunity on a 1103 sqm approx. garden allotment. Largely original with modern enhancement behind an evocative double-storey profile, this five bedroom, 2.5 bathroom early Federation-style home showcases towering decorative ceilings, exquisite hand-painted stained glass and solid marble open fireplaces.

A grand entrance hall of original black and white marble tiles introduces the beauty and refinement of a timeless interior extending to a versatile formal reception room or executive study and an elegant sitting room. A ground-floor bedroom and a powder room are complemented by impressively proportioned accommodation beyond a picturesque staircase featuring four additional bedrooms, two further bathrooms and a huge covered balcony with views through to the city skyline.

A delightful family zone at the rear that links perfectly to an expansive garden and terrace flows from a modernized kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and a marble-topped island bench to dedicated dining and living areas (large open fireplace) along with a stylish bathroom and a European laundry. Other features include a sub-floor wine cellar, hydronic heating, a separate work-shed, unique Japanned veranda fretwork and ample off-street parking.

While completely comfortable and retaining its distinguishing period features, this magnificent red brick residence is a local landmark of remarkable future appeal. Its extensive two-level layout and expansive rear garden pave the way for the next generation to luxuriously enhance and expand when ready (STCA) and reap the rewards of an imposing and much-admired property in one of Hawthorn East’s most coveted pockets.

The quiet, treelined location is highly favoured by families seeking exceptional convenience to a range of excellent private and primary schools, the Camberwell Junction shopping and restaurant precinct, the Sunday Market, local cafes, Riversdale Road trams, train station, the Monash freeway and a wonderful selection of surrounding parklands and nature trails.
