Period elegance in a premier enclave
A captivating fusion of classic charm & contemporary finesse, this superbly renovated 1920s Californian Bungalow ‘Alston’ presents a stylish haven of sympathetic updates, perfectly positioned in a spectacular stretch of Caufield North.
Meticulously reimagined throughout, the home retains its striking period façade, bounded by a lush, classically inspired garden & draped in elegant climbing roses & meandering grape vines. Perfectly preserved stained-glass leadlight windows, ornate ceiling stars & timber fretwork pay homage to the home’s heritage origins, while the introduction of plush neutral-toned carpet & top-tier modern appointments create a seamless balance between past & present.
Presenting a warm & welcoming introduction, a front formal living room with gas fireplace connects to a covered veranda lined with tessellated tiles, featuring a second access point to the home’s first bedroom. Two further bedrooms (one with built-in robes), a study, separate laundry & family bathroom with claw-foot bath run along either side of the soaring central hallway. Stepping down into the home’s spectacular modern extension, topped by a towering cathedral ceiling, an open-plan living & dining domain creates a light-filled heart of the home, fitted with a gas fireplace, bay-window banquette seating & glass French doors that open onto a paved north-facing entertaining zone connecting to a lush rear garden. A gourmet kitchen is equipped with a premium 900mm Ilve oven & five-burner gas cooktop, as well as a stainless-steel dishwasher. A secluded primary bedroom enjoys the entire top floor, presenting the ultimate parents’ retreat, fitted with a walk-in robe & ensuite.
Complete with a single carport & additional off-street parking behind a secure automatic gate with TV-monitored intercom, this one-of-a-kind heritage home also includes zoned heating & cooling, ceiling fans throughout & a built-in alarm.
In a prized family-focused pocket, enjoy easy access to Caulfield & Shelford Grammars, as well as Elsternwick & Ripponlea Villages, Greenmeadows Gardens & Balaclava Road’s city-bound trams direct to nearby Melbourne University & walking distance/easy access to Melbourne Grammar.
