Snap up a slice of Melbourne's history at this iconic property in Bundoora's prestigious Mt Cooper Estate. Filled with character and charm, the luxurious family home was built in 1937 as a medical facility for WW1 veterans.
Masterfully restored to its former glory and fully renovated to meet modern lifestyle needs, the triple storey house displays striking art deco features, fine fittings and state-of-the-art conveniences.
Standing tall behind a manicured garden and stylish wrought iron fence, the house makes an eye-catching statement with its rich red double brick walls, terracotta roof and dormer windows.
Step inside and discover a warm and welcoming entrance adorned with spotted gum and jarrah flooring complemented by a hardwood staircase illuminated by an art deco chandelier.
Soaring over three levels, the floorplan is perfect for a family of all ages.
Main living areas are on the ground floor, including a well-appointed lounge and dining/study area with custom made double-hung kiln-dried hardwood windows, impressive timber panelling, and high ceilings with intricate plasterwork.
Stylish French doors lead to a spacious living, dining and kitchen zone, which makes the ideal place to relax with family and friends.
The living area boasts a cozy gas log fireplace while the octagonal-shaped dining space is enclosed by full-length conservatory-style windows.
The home chef will appreciate the kitchen that has quality stainless steel Ilve appliances, including a freestanding cooker and dishwasher, a pantry, vinyl-wrap cabinets with spotted gum timber benchtops, and a big island bench.
Take the staircase up to the first floor that contains three bedrooms, including two with built-in wardrobes, and the main bathroom complete with a spa and frameless shower.
The hotel-style main bedroom is a private sanctuary with a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with panoramic views of the neighbourhood.
Magnificent vistas towards the Dandenong Ranges and the city skyline are appreciated from the top floor that contains a retreat or fourth bedroom where French doors open to a stylish hand-forged wrought iron balcony.
Other features include a powder room, ample storage space, plus a laundry with quality cabinets and spotted gum timber benchtops. Zoned heated and refrigerated cooling, intercom and alarm ensure comfort and peace of mind.
Outdoor entertaining is a breeze in the low-maintenance back garden with extensive crazy paving, a pergola and a tall magnolia hedge.
A bonus is the double garage with internal access, remote-control door, store room, toilet and wash area, plus drive-through roller door access to a back laneway.
The property is in an enviable position next to the historical 1900 Bundoora Homestead Art Centre and Bundoora Park Oval. Latrobe University, Parade College, bus and tram services, Polaris shopping centre and the Metropolitan Ring Rd are not far away.
