A sun-drenched sanctuary behind an appealing brick wall, the floorplan of this renovated double-fronted Victorian home has been skilfully reimagined for contemporary family lifestyles. It also offers a unique opportunity for intergenerational living with its thoughtful design and flexible spaces.

Positioned in a hidden cul-de-sac along a row of period homes just a short walk from Auburn Primary and Rathmines Reserve, its generous three-bedroom plus study formation includes north-facing living and indoor/outdoor entertaining areas, multiple outdoor zones, a separate artist’s studio and laundry, and an expansive upstairs parents’ retreat with leafy tree-top views.

The property makes the utmost of its 357 sqm parcel with two ground-floor front bedrooms, one with a walk-in robe, the other with a built-in robe and direct access to the stylish main bathroom, creating an ideal zone for children or elderly family members. The setup is perfect for multigenerational living arrangements with good accessibility and privacy for elderly persons. The two bedrooms share delightful garden views through the front conservatory and a hallway which captures the artistic history of the home in the form of an enchanting mural.

At the heart of “Elysia” is the spacious stone-finished kitchen featuring Bosch/ILVE appliances including induction cooktop and well-designed storage. This, along with the fitted study/home office, overlooks a large north-facing living/dining space with a cosy open fireplace under high-beamed ceilings to offer a sumptuous space for gatherings.
A bank of elegant French doors at the northern end of the living /dining area open to a lush private garden with a paved pergola, further extending the area for entertaining. A sizable artist’s studio/workshop/laundry featuring a sink and built-in storage sit at one end the rear garden with the option of extension and creative use of the building.

Upstairs, the expansive parents’ retreat includes a generous main bedroom with twin walk-in robes/storage, a dressing/fitted study nook with built-in robes, and a freshly updated en suite with a skylit feature bath. The northern floor-to-ceiling windows offer delightful garden views against a backdrop of distant rooftops, all from the comfort of bed.

Hydronic heating, multi zoned split cooling, bedroom ceiling fans, new carpet, hardwood timber and tiled floors tick the boxes for innovative family design and charm in a brilliant location near leading private schools, trains, Glenferrie shopping and dining, Camberwell Junction and Hawthorn’s famous Rocket Park.
