21 Wattletree Road, Armadale VIC 3143

Tightly held since 1995, this majestic three bedroom, two bathroom Victorian residence set on 551sqm (approx.) with a north-facing rear garden with swimming pool and double carport presents a rare opportunity to secure one of the grand period homes of Armadale. With a wonderful sense of history, period detail from sweeping archways to soaring 3.8 metre ceilings, marble fireplace mantles, ceiling roses, cornice detail and a wide hallway provide a beautiful and dignified backdrop to the substantial accommodation. Two reception rooms make a grand statement and are connected by back-to-back fireplaces with soaring archways either side. At the rear a north-facing conservatory-style family living, meals area and good-size kitchen with dishwasher draws natural light through a bank of windows into the core of the home. The three double bedrooms are all spacious and ornately detailed with period features including a bank of impressive library shelving in the second bedroom. A contemporary ensuite services the main bedroom combined with a contemporary main bathroom, while appointments include split system heating and air conditioning and ducted heating. Excellent use of the block allows for a spacious north-facing backyard complete with a swimming pool with glass balustrade and terraces, workshop, large laundry and roller door access to a double carport via the rear laneway. A grand and landmark style period home for the area, the property combines architectural appeal with outstanding potential for renovation (SCTA) in a central location convenient to vibrant Glenferrie Road and High Street’s shops and cafés, Malvern Central, trams, Armadale station and a choice of schools including Armadale Primary, The King David School and Lauriston Girls’ School.
