Surrey Hills 27 Erasmus Street

An architect designed renovation has transformed "Capri" from an original 1920s, brick Californian Bungalow into the outstanding family residence it is today, brimming with modern functionality while still showcasing its traditional character and charm.

Elevated on a premier corner block, in a quiet and tree-lined street, a majestic date palm in the private front garden marks the age of the home. The entry and 2 original front bedrooms retain their decorative features of high ceilings, stained glass details and picture rails. They are serviced by the ground level bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and luxurious shower.

Living/dining and family room/meals (with sub floor cellar) cater to flexible family living and entertaining options, with stacker doors opening out to a private alfresco deck. A heated mineral swimming pool adds to the lifestyle options. The central kitchen provides an open workspace, well-equipped with Ilve 900mm oven, 6 burner cooktop, Bosch rangehood, Fisher & Paykel dual drawer dishwasher and walk-in pantry.

Each of the 2 upstairs bedrooms will delightfully surprise. One is a child's storybook attic bedroom with a built-in desk, the other includes a hidden den/study/nursery, plus a flexible open space at the top of the stairs and large family bathroom. Capacious storage options throughout include under stair storage, walk-in linen store and access to a lined and lit roof storage space.

Zoned for Box Hill High School and Surrey Hills Primary School. Minutes from independent schools including Kingswood, Strathcona, Siena and Camberwell Grammar. Bus or a short drive to all the retail, restaurant, train and tram at Box Hill and Surrey Hills and Mont Albert Villages. Walking distance from Surrey Park and Aqualink and Bluebell Hill Tennis Club.
