7 Rubens Grove, Canterbury, Vic 3126

The romance of Federation-era architecture beautifully combines with luxurious contemporary functionality in this elegantly renovated single level home positioned in a coveted Golden Mile address. Surrounded by 859sqm of established flowering gardens with pool and studio, its generous five bedroom three bathroom accommodation provides a beautifully timeless, forever family environment complemented by premium finishes, extensive custom storage, an oversized remote double garage and additional off-street parking. Whilst impeccable proportions provide a superb traditional family environment and lifestyle, with no heritage overlay or easements, an exciting opportunity exists to build a brand new custom-designed contemporary home (STCA), as others nearby have done, behind an impressive 20.1m frontage.

Framed by its flowering garden, an elevated return verandah with decorative timber detailing and a magnificent leadlight entry form a breathtaking introduction to a series of generously proportioned rooms where classical elegance is conveyed by soaring rosette ceilings, multiple open fireplaces and beautiful leadlight bay windows. The wide entry hall links together a magnificent formal sitting room, four oversized bedrooms, including an unforgettable main suite and family bathroom. At the rear, high ceilings adorn an expansive open plan living and dining domain that steps through French doors to the landscaped rear garden featuring heated pool and spa, and a clever studio/retreat with bathroom flexible as a fifth bedroom, home office or poolside cabana.

Further highlights include three bedrooms with built-in robes/storage plus an unforgettable main bedroom with built-in robes/storage, walk-in robe and designer ensuite, stone finished open plan kitchen featuring 900mm smeg upright cooker and butler’s pantry, guest powder room and luxurious family bathroom, family-sized laundry with drying cupboard, ducted heating, split cooling, hardwood timber floors, ornate timber fretwork, auto garden irrigation, oversized remote double garage with attic storage and additional off-street parking.

Walk to Camberwell Grammar Schools, Canterbury Girls Secondary College, Deepdene Primary, trains and Burke Road trams with minutes to many of Melbourne’s leading private schools, Maling Road Village, Camberwell Junction and Balwyn shopping and dining.
