88 Fordham Avenue, Camberwell, Vic 3124

A home of unique charm and irresistible country style, this c.1929 home has been architect renovated/extended to provide generous four-bedroom family accommodation with a separate soundproof studio in one of Camberwell’s most desirable positions. 

Set behind a broad garden frontage in tranquil parkland surrounds, original proportions have served as fine inspiration for painstakingly designed modern spaces, vividly finished in American Country style. High ceilings, leadlight windows and timber floors remain in two ground floor bedrooms with built-in robes including the main with access to a light filled living/library with bay window and extensive bookcase/storage. At the rear, a stone topped kitchen with 900mm ILVE upright cooker overlooks a luxuriously large living and dining room defined by soaring barn-style ceilings, an expansive bay window with seating and leafy garden views. French doors unfold to an equally irresistible alfresco entertaining area beneath a high vaulted ceiling, the separate soundproofed studio flexible as a home office or additional living and the family friendly rear garden. 

Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms with built-in robes and a generous retreat with serene tree top views have been meticulously finished with leadlight windows and timber joinery to mirror the character of original rooms with an immaculate bathroom and separate WC. Further highlights include a ground floor bathroom with double vanity/storage and Japanese spa bath, study nook, ducted heating, split cooling, ducted vacuum, custom artisan finishes, garden shed/workshop, secure carport and additional parking via remote gates.
