31 Berkeley Street, Hawthorn VIC 3122

Tastefully preserved to retain a regal sense of grandeur, this solid clinker-brick, 1930s residence presents an impressively proportioned, four bedroom home to suit the discerning urban family. Immaculate in every regard and presented flawlessly, the home is rich in English character and sensibility as it presents formal, informal , indoor and outdoor living spaces, on a wonderful 700 sqm allotment void of heritage overlay, to suit modern family life. With both an eye to the homes exquisite origins and an impressive attention to detail, the kitchen and informal meals area is a statement in quality. An AGA cooker, fully integrated Liebherr refrigerator and stone benches form a refined partnership that is both contemporary and period-sensitive, whilst both the kitchen and informal living room flow seamlessly outdoors to a paved dining area. Together, the indoor-outdoor connections caters to the al fresco lifestyle that is so craved today. For a more formal style of living, the home also offers a traditional dining room and a semi-attached lounge, each of which is warmed by open fire places and rich in exquisite period charm. Upstairs, each of the bedrooms is generously proportioned, though one is currently being utilised as an ambient, character-filled, library. Also upstairs, servicing the bedrooms, there are two bathrooms, one of which is perfectly presented in original condition. A study area on the landing is a clever use of the available space. Clearly indicating an impressive commitment to quality, the homes polished Victorian Ash flooring is beautifully complimentary to its leadlight windows, whilst under stair storage, a full laundry and downstairs powder room enhance the daily comfort of living here. Set within a generously sized and superbly manicured garden with established fruit trees, a lock-up garage, garden shed and tool shed combine to further enhance the homes already impressive storage. Driveway parking for another three vehicles is an added bonus. This premier, tree-lined, Scotch Hill street is highly-coveted, at least partially due to its proximity to some of Melbournes finest schools, trams along both Riversdale Rd and Glenferrie Rd, as well as Auburn Village which is just around the corner, Camberwell Junction which is moments away and Gardiners Creek bike path which is at the bottom of the street.
