Sitting pretty-as-a-picture beyond a tranquil garden entry, ‘Katheena’ is a freestanding, double-fronted Victorian home, blending the majesty of its c1890 epoch with the modern luxuries of today. Welcomed by a rendered façade with slate roof, lacework verandah and leadlight entrance with soaring ceilings, intricate roses, elaborate cornices, and a scattering of cast-iron fireplaces.
A neutral colour palette frames the home’s open living and dining room, stretching through French doors to an alfresco patio amid leafy gardens. At the heart of the home is a stylish kitchen with full appointment of Smeg appliances including a wide gas cooktop and gleaming stone benchtops.
Three bedrooms are lavishly sized and complemented by two brand new elegant bathrooms, including a private ensuite and a walk-in robe to the luxurious master bedroom. Secluded among the gardens, a generously proportioned guest house contains a fourth bedroom, offering versatility as a home office, gym, or studio, with potential for self-contained accommodation.
Completed with a secured carport with remote access via Elgin Street, this beautiful home is cocooned in today’s luxuries including reverse-cycle ducted heating and cooling, ducted vacuum, and security alarm. Set among beautiful period homes and proximity to exclusive private schools in the prestigious West Hawthorn precinct, this privileged address enjoys amenity to nearby Kew Junction, Glenferrie Road, and West Hawthorn’s shopping and café districts, while an easy stroll to the Yarra River’s recreation, city-bound trams, and Hawthorn train station.
