156 Harborne Street

There's something magical about a character home that's been brought lovingly into the present without forgetting where it came from. This timeless 4 bedroom 2 bathroom family haven flawlessly combines classic elegance with contemporary comfort. Soaring ceilings with original cornicing and picture rails anchor the home in its 1956 heritage, while everything around them has been so thoughtfully renewed. Beyond a securely gated front courtyard, the generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is the heart of the home, warmed by a wood-burning fireplace, framed by plantation shutters and adjoining a private study with its own outdoor access. The impeccably renovated kitchen is a study in considered design: stone benchtops, a fluted island breakfast bar, brushed brass tapware, globe pendants and subway tile splashback. Gleaming timber floorboards flow through to three ground-floor bedrooms, inclusive of the master, which enjoys sliding door access directly to the alfresco deck and pool. A renovated main bathroom with freestanding bathtub and separate shower completes the upper level. Downstairs, the undercroft adds a generous TV retreat, a fourth guest bedroom with ensuite access, and a self-contained garage/workshop that doubles as a private home office. Sliding doors open the kitchen to an enormous entertaining deck with built-in BBQ, all overlooking a sparkling pool and leafy backyard. Picturesque Lake Monger sits just one street away, with schools, cafés, parks, the freeway and the CBD all within easy reach. Few addresses blend pleasure with such outstanding everyday convenience quite like this one!
