Burwood East 91 Burwood Highway

"Sold by James Bateman of Fletchers". Once the farm house of a 19th century orchard, this beautifully refurbished and renovated 4 bedroom timber home is now one of the only homes of its era remaining in the district. Built in 1896 as a considerably more modest version of its current self, it has been extended, renovated to a high yet sympathetic standard and in parts refurbished to retain its original feel, in the loving hands of its current and only third owners.

Situated privately behind a high fence and entered from Oakham Avenue, brick paving leads to the wide verandah and front door. The traditional centre passage opens to large bedrooms on either side, one with an OFP and the other providing a walk-in robe and chic new ensuite. Formal living and dining rooms follow, still in the original front part of the home characterised by the high timber ceilings. The living room has a nook that could easily serve as a cosy study or quiet reading spot, and leads to a surprise storage space. The delightful dining room is a reminder of times past with a fire place and featuring the timber walls of the original construction.

The newer rear section is bright and open and boasts an expansive kitchen/family area with timber floors and a separate meals space. It opens to a rear north facing deck, with a peaceful treed aspect and vista to the mountains, allowing a private spot for an alfresco meal or just a quiet moment. The skylit kitchen is only a few years young, stylish and well appointed and comprises stainless steel appliances, first class cabinetry and preparation space. Two further robed bedrooms and family bathroom with a spa are in a practical position, able to be isolated from the main living/entertaining space. Further features include electric panel heaters throughout, garden shed, under-house storage, off street parking for several cars and a green outlook from each window.

Far removed from its original rural setting, this charming and appealing family home now has immediate tram access to Deakin University, PLC and the CBD, is within a walk of local shops and a short drive to primary schools, parks and supermarket.
