59 Banksia Street

Rising grandly above its esteemed Eaglemont surrounds, crafted in 1936 by the renowned Arthur Dowling and uniquely infused with the traditions of Tudor Revival styling, 'Belgravia' is an exquisite generational family residence that offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a study and an architecturally renovated rear with a remarkably tranquil, light and airy alfresco flow. Immaculately presented from top-to-bottom, with original geometric leadlight windows, Stucco plasterwork and rich timber accents, all complemented by a timeless open-plan rear, the home is a surprising sanctuary, well suited to current day family living and entertaining. Set on a superb, formally landscaped English style cottage garden allotment of 858 square metres (approx.) with no heritage overlay, a broad frontage of over 20 metres and HCTZ1 zoning, there is abundant opportunity for future redevelopment options in time (STCA). Beyond a classical, clinker brick entry and a front terrace that captures a full day of northern sun, the home opens to reveal a welcoming entrance hall before culminating in a light-filled, granite-topped kitchen / meals / living room that is set under a dramatic vaulted ceiling and appointed with Neff and Miele appliances. Effortlessly, the open-plan flows outdoors to a tranquil, dining area that is completed in Castlemaine slate crazy paving and gazes out upon a 90 year-old Golden Ash tree. Meanwhile, a servery-style connection from the kitchen to the more formal dining and lounge rooms each with open fireplaces suits a more traditional style of living. The dining room offers easy fourth bedroom potential and the study is a beautiful working space that could also work easily as a nursery if needed. Further highlights include two showpiece bathrooms that have been renovated with a 'forever home' mindset and appointed with terrazzo-tiling as well as stone-topped vanities, plus there is a concealed laundry, a huge amount of lined, dust-free and powered attic storage. A versatile lock-up garage with a carport is enhanced by securely gated driveway parking for another three vehicles, plus there is ducted heating and split system air conditioning for year-round comfort. Just a delightful stroll through the leafy streets of Eaglemont to discover the charms of its village, whilst the convenience of Burgundy Street's shopping, café and dining precinct is also easily walkable and Heidelberg Railway Station is nearby for an effortless city commute, plus you can enjoy easy access to Yarra trails for an active outdoor lifestyle.
