51 Essex Road, Surrey Hills VIC 3127

Stepping inside this tastefully decorated home, in a highly sought after pocket of Surrey Hills, you?ll feel an immediate sense of welcome and warmth, with soft quality carpets, windows with plantation shutters, and a tasteful use of tiles and wood, all of which blend in perfect harmony to create a modern feel which also respects the charms of yesteryear. The typical characteristics of the Edwardian period are reflected in the front garden, the façade and the formal living room. The main bedroom continues the traditional feel, but then the surprises begin with a modern walk through dressing room leading to a sleek, well fitted en suite bathroom and a wall of mirrors.
The central hallway leads to what can only be described as a stunning open plan living area flooded with natural light. The kitchen comes complete with a huge, entertainer?s oven and cooktop, steamer oven and inbuilt convection microwave. To one side is a butler?s pantry with a second sink and exceptional storage. There is also a bright, formal dining area with plenty of room for a large table to enjoy those family dinners.
The spacious family living area centres on a modern fireplace and contains a study nook hidden behind large doors. Outside there is a completely private, alfresco area with broad skylights and a fireplace which make this an ideal area for entertaining and relaxing whatever the season. The lush, landscaped garden is filled with mature trees and plants which form an idyllic backdrop, whether you?re enjoying a barbecue with friends or indulging in a glass of wine in front of the fireplace.
Two further bedrooms, with an amazing amount of in built storage, are carefully zoned near the newly renovated family bathroom. There is plenty of convenient shopping nearby, and a fantastic choice of cafes for those Sunday brunches. Surrey Hills primary school is close, and high quality private schools are easily accessed by train or tram. This delightful retreat boasts both ducted heating and air conditioning and would be an ideal home for a growing family.
