Live on the River's Edge

On the edge of the tranquil Yarra River in a quiet leafy cul-de-sac, this luxurious four-bedroom home in the heart of Fairfield combines classic style with contemporary comfort to create a unique lifestyle opportunity. Light and spacious on a sizeable allotment (794m2 approx) offering a versatile riverside sanctuary, perfect for retreating or entertaining. Surrounded by beautifully maintained, landscaped gardens and well set back from the street, the elevated home offers elegant, free-flowing interiors with wonderful treetop outlooks through the curved floor to ceiling windows and balcony.

Originally built in 1948 the home has sympathetic renovations and extensions designed by architect Tom Paciocco with a timeless, contemporary edge and exceptional leafy views. Multiple living zones offer flexibility with living and dining (OFP), four bedrooms including king-sized main with ensuite and walk-in robe, plus central family bathroom and separate study/home office with garden views. To the rear, with a sunny northern aspect and views of the garden is the informal dining area with a new entertainers' kitchen including stone bench-tops, quality appliances and walk-in pantry. Plus, separate laundry with ample storage and bench space, original timber floors, hydronic heating, split system heating and cooling, solar panels, large under house workshop, storage plus, side drive and secure parking.

Be delighted by native birdsong as you step outside to the rear north-facing garden, with raised terraces beyond - the perfect spot for enjoying the leafy views and feeling as though you are miles away. Plus, an established veggie garden and a range of productive fruit trees.

A dream location within steps of the Yarra River, trails and parklands, opposite Fairfield Canoe Club, and moments to Station Street Village, shops, cafes, Alphington Farmers Market, schools, sporting facilities, public transport, Eastlink and just five kilometres from the CBD.

A much-loved family home for 40 years - this hidden gem is a rare once-in-a-generation opportunity, in a magical location. Nelson Alexander Pty Ltd.
