    This character-filled home, architect designed and influenced by the Federation style, exemplifies its era with high-quality design and execution. The facade features a steeply pitched Colorbond roof with gable inserts and beautiful brickwork, showcasing meticulous attention to detail. The inside story is equally well crafted. Step from the return front verandah into a tiled entry hall, where the magic begins. High ceilings, deep cornice and ceiling motifs, double-hung sash windows, pine dado lining boards, bay windows enhanced by timber fretwork or a window seat, an operational open fireplace with timber surround and cast-iron grate are just some of the reminders of the Federation era. Accommodation comprises three generous bedrooms, the main with a walk-in robe and heritage-tiled ensuite. The other two, with robes, occupy a separate wing along with the main bathroom. The richly detailed formal lounge is where you will find the stunning replica fireplace. The laundry features loads of storage, a study/sewing nook and external access to a dedicated drying area. Step down to the expansive open-plan living, dining and kitchen area – clearly the heart of the home and a welcoming gathering place for family and friends. The kitchen is a cook's delight with bespoke timber cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, gas/electric cooking appliances and a dishwasher. The large, light-filled living and dining areas flow through French doors to the rear verandah and rear garden with a selection of alfresco and outdoor living spaces. The landscaped lot, approx. 1039m² has a bitumen driveway, a carport, extra off-street parking, a brick garage/workshop, and garden shedding. Located in a super quiet pocket of Kennington, it is within walking distance to La Trobe University, Strath/Kennington Village shops, schools, and much more.   Designed for relaxed living and effortless entertaining for all ages and stages of life, this charming property delivers a rare blend of character, scale, and modern comfort.             This information has been provided to us by third parties and we do not accept any responsibility for its accuracy.
