1/1256 North Road, Oakleigh South VIC 3167

Make history with one of the grand originals of yesterday…and the best of family living for today. The original pioneering land-holding home of the area now set on perfect-sized easy-care land, this unique c.1904 home unfolds beyond a spectacular leadlight entry with a respectful renovation by Blint Builders – extended over two-storeys to provide a modern four bedroom, two bathroom family floorplan.

Rising to great proportions and grand heights with 4m ceilings, this gracious home shines with expansive open-plan living flowing to an all-weather al fresco deck, a clever multi-purpose room (perfect as quiet media lounge, formal dining or work at home-office) behind double bevelled-glass doors, and a versatile first-floor retreat – equally perfect for work or play.

Impeccably styled with elite Neff and Asko appliances for the streamlined kitchen and a deluxe designer bathroom on each level, the home’s well-curated interiors are focus on authentic detail with subtle Caesarstone benchtops throughout (even for the laundry), a mix of solid Baltic Pine and Victorian Ash floors (in the latest water-based satin Danish finish) and original period lighting. Even the stairway is bespoke detailed - with classical balustrading and curvaceous cats’ paw railing!

Impeccably styled home with frameless screening for each bathroom, and glossy floor-to-ceiling 2-Pack cabinetry for the kitchen and bathroom, there’s every modern practicality from a wide dining-bench for the kitchen, to heated towel-rails for each bathroom, to an imported English drying-rack for the laundry, to generous built-in robes for each bedroom.

Climate controlled by individual reverse-cycle air-conditioning to every room, laminated and double-glazed windows and walk-in outdoor storage, this notable home is set in well-utilised gardens with a gracious hedged landscape out front, a gas-plumbed BBQ bench behind, a ‘secret’ garden to the side and access to four-car parking including a rear auto-garage.

Surrounded by parks and golf courses, this rare period beauty has all the modern amenities in reach - Huntingdale Primary School is within a walk, Oakleigh’s shopping, restaurants and station are a minute away and the bus to Monash University is just across the road.
