Family Grandeur Amidst Glorious Gardens

SOLD by Miles Real Estate.
A magnificent composition of light and space in perfect harmony with glorious garden surroundings, this grand Federation family residence unfolds with poise and grace over three sumptuous levels. Originally the 1880s servants' quarters and stable of neighbouring 'Awaba', the home was craftsman-built in 1902 to be one of Eaglemont's finest with a rich history once the domain of famous conductor Sir Bernard Heinze. Today, beyond beautifully layered north garden, this distinctive family residence is an inspiration merging heritage splendor and modern finesse on a 973m2 allotment (approx.) cornering Awaba Street. Jarrah floors, exquisite leadlight windows and Art Nouveau red pine staircase with 10m void highlight the majestic entrance hall preceding an elegant sitting room (OFP) with ornate ceiling, four large bedrooms and a converted hayloft home office with desk, storage, Mount Eagle views, agate stone feature window and private balcony. A superb family living and dining zone (OFP) incorporating a Smeg/Miele granite gourmet kitchen with walk-in pantry adjoins an outdoor entertainment oasis with state-of-the-art BBQ kitchen. There are 2.5 bathrooms, large laundry (former stables), hydronic heating, abundant storage including attic and cellar, rainwater tank (3000l), sprinkler system and garaging with workshop and bike racks. A rare historic treasure, this extensive home is enviably located near Eaglemont Village and Heidelberg train station, Albert Jones Reserve, Austin Hospital, Burgundy Street retail-medical precinct and excellent schools.
