7 Bath Street, ABBOTSFORD VIC 3067

This imposing balcony terrace overlooking historic Victoria Park is close to Studley Park, leading independent schools and the Children's Farm. A triumph of the renovator's art, Hawkhurst's exquisite, grand Victorian features have been meticulously restored and the original building extended in light-filled period style, offering superb executive/family living, with a versatile floor plan incorporating several living spaces and a deep landscaped garden with tank irrigation, bordered by a double garage and workshop. This impressive Boom-period residence, inhabited by several generations of the Bayley family, combines period splendour with all the amenities of contemporary living. A splendid formal living room/home cinema opens through double doors to a 'Great Room' dining and informal living zone with a double 'lantern' pressed metal ceiling (inspired by the French architecture of nearby Abbotsford Convent). Also on the ground floor is a third gracious living room/study/5th BR and a carefully designed kitchen with all-German appliances and pantry. A handsomely restored staircase ascends to the grandly-proportioned BR suite with balcony, dressing room and ensuite, two further double bedrooms, an elegant bathroom and large fitted laundry. On the upper level is a charming attic bedroom/retreat with an apse window giving stunning roofscape views. Including a 400-bottle wine cellar and powder room, this landmark property features premium appointments, restored marble fireplaces, generous storage, hydronic heating, reverse-cycle airconditioning and network cabling. Hawkhurst is both a beautiful and impressive place to live.
