Preserving the magic of the Victorian era amid the ease of modern amenity, ‘Lachalaire’ delivers a sunny indoor-outdoor lifestyle at Camberwell Junction’s doorstep. Beyond a white picket fence and lush gardens, the home is truly picturesque, greeting its guests at a lacework verandah and a leadlight entry way.

Wrapped by Baltic floors and 12-foot ceilings, the interior is introduced by four lavishly sized bedrooms offering versatility as additional living domains, embellished by ceiling roses, decorative fireplaces, and modern built-in storage, and serviced by a central family bathroom. An extension houses the fifth bedroom upstairs, pampering parents with a private ensuite, a walk-in robe, and space to retreat against dazzling city views.

Bathed in northern light by day and the cosiness of an open fireplace by night, the vast lounge room affords space to relax with family and to mingle with friends, connecting with the kitchen and dining room for seamless entertaining. Dressed in granite benches, the kitchen caters with stainless-steel appliances, providing a preparation island and ample modern storage including a walk-in pantry, plus study space for kids’ homework.

Stretching into the north-facing yard, the home promotes lively family sport and indoor-outdoor entertaining amid built-in sound, enriching alfresco celebrations with a dining deck, a built-in barbecue, and a spa within the sun-kissed gardens. An independent bungalow with a bathroom adds space for teens’ retreat or business, beside a remote-controlled carport accessed via a right-of-way.

Offering ducted heating, split system air-conditioning, and solar electricity with battery storage, the home cocoons the family in comfort within a sought-after lifestyle locale. Situated paces from Camberwell’s eateries and shopping, and all forms of public transport, the home sits among Hawthorn’s Auburn and Glenferrie shopping precincts, elite public and private schools including Auburn High and Canterbury Girls’, Fritsch Holzer Park and the Anniversary trail, and the Monash arterial.
