7 Newman Avenue

Executed with exceptional attention to detail, the architectural renovation and extension of this semi-detached, circa-1930s, Art Deco residence has created a stunning, sunlit family entertainer with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an all-seasons alfresco flow. Light and airy while creating delightful connections to its garden surrounds, this is a single-level home of rare style and sophistication, brilliantly crafted to maximise its broad northern aspect. Intelligently zoned and united by a central skylit hallway, the home's heart is a spectacularly well proportioned open-plan living room with north-facing windows and a seamless sliding door flow to paved outdoor entertaining. Set under a large retractable awning and designed for indoor-outdoor gatherings, the alfresco area still draws plenty of northern and afternoon sun for all-seasons enjoyment. Crafted with gourmet family meal preparation as a key consideration, the kitchen is subway-tiled with endless soft close cabinetry and Smeg cooking. Appointed with attractive stone working surfaces that include a waterfall-edged island with breakfast bar seating, the open-plan promises to be a welcoming weekday breakfast hot spot and a focal point for evening drinks. The primary bedroom is huge and offers parents the indulgence of generous walk-in robes and a fully-tiled ensuite with a double-headed shower, stone-topped double basin vanity and heated towel rails - as well as a delightful bay window that highlights plantation shutters and a bench seat with additional storage. Each of the remaining bedrooms also offers particularly stylish family accommodation with well designed and substantial built-in robes one also with another bay window framed by plantation shutters and appointed with a bench seat and storage. Fully tiled and attractively finished to complement the primary bedroom's ensuite, the central bathroom is also a showpiece with a stone-topped vanity and heated towel rails, whilst a vogue powder room is perfect for guest use. Curated with rare attention-to-detail, the home's list of added highlights is extensive, spanning from securely gated and exposed aggregate driveway parking for 2 vehicles, through to a formal lounge that opens to a north-facing internal courtyard and an externally accessible laundry with a drying cabinet, plus there is a security alarm, central heating, air conditioning and abundant built-in storage throughout the home. Poised for a terrific family lifestyle with the popular Left Field Café just around the corner and all the cosmopolitan vibrancy of Koornang Road's dining strip easily walkable, plus you have first class local parkland that includes Packer Park and the Carnegie Pool, while zoning for both McKinnon Primary School and Glen Eira College is an added bonus. Particularly well serviced by transport, the rest of Melbourne is easily accessed by buses, trams and 2 trainlines from either Carnegie or Ormond Railway Stations.
