Family living in the Sackville Ward
Showcasing a simply stunning architectural renovation and extension, this 1911 period home captures the very essence of its era amid incredible luxury and astonishing family space. Nestled beneath the leafy canopy of its Sackville Ward location, the home delivers an uplifting setting for family living, enriched by a self-contained unit for extended family or guests on a 970m2 (approx.) site with dual street frontage. Beyond immaculately sculpted gardens to a charming gabled façade, the home welcomes guests to an interior framed by 10-foot strapped ceilings and Victorian Ash floors. Adjoining lounge and dining rooms are beautifully embellished with a leadlight bay window, picture rails, and a gas fireplace set within a timber mantel, offering substantial space to entertain the masses. A huge open plan domain invites family and friends to relax and dine beside a Cheminees Philippe slow-combustion fireplace. The kitchen plays the perfect host with a wide island bench topped in earthy granite, while catering to the crowds with a full array of appliances including a 1200mm Belling stove, and endless storage including a walk-in pantry. French doors connect the room with the outdoors, promoting year-round alfresco enjoyment beneath the skylit roofline, and stretching into the easy-care gardens with a trampoline for kids. The accommodation is vast and versatile, each room providing lavish proportions to use as an additional living space, home office, playroom, or music studio. The ground level matches three bedrooms with two ensuites including a two-way spa bathroom, while upstairs, four bedrooms share a central bathroom with a luxe soaker tub. Enjoying autonomy from the main home, a self-contained unit adds further flexibility for extended housing, home business, or alfresco enjoyment, offering a large living domain with a full kitchen, a spacious bedroom with ensuite, and a fully lined attic space. Complete with off-street parking for at least five cars beyond a motorised gate, plus a remote-controlled double garage via MacRobertsons Lane, the home creates a luxurious family environment amid today's best comforts. Surrounded by esteemed private schools, this privileged position is an easy walk to trams bound for the CBD, Camberwell Junction, Kew Junction, and Box Hill Central, offering exceptional access to mouthwatering eateries, boutique retailers, endless entertainment, and Camberwell station.
