A LANDMARK HOME TO IMPRESS AND ENJOY........
Once in a while a very special home hits the rental market – and this is such a property ... a truly magnificent, high-gabled, period residence of 12 main rooms (plus 3 bathrooms) complete with north-south tennis court (night lights) and framed by glorious gardens. The sprawling, two-storey house, is set well back from Canterbury Road and stands majestically at the corner of Rubens Grove on a sprawling double block with all access from the side street including the remote control double gates. Built in 1907 by renowned architects of the time (Ussher & Kemp), it has been a captivating landmark for generations of passersby and for good reasons - not the least being its size and stunning period features. Large rooms with soaring ceilings, ornate plasterwork, intricate coloured leadlights & beautiful timber work echo of a grand and gracious past while recent renovations have ensured the house remains perfectly suited to meet all the demands of today’s highest living standards with modern timber & stainless steel finished kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, zoned heating and refrigerated cooling, monitored alarm & garden drip water systems. Then there's a host of indulgent 'extras' like the spa bath set in the bay window of the master bedroom suite, the wall mounted plasma/LCD television in the kitchen work area, the built-in trampoline in the back garden along with the special basketball 'court' area set on a rubberised surface and complete with full-size ring. It is a house that's ideal for just about every possible requirement - from grand & formal entertaining to informal and outdoor gatherings; from providing zoned accommodation for in-laws, step children, a nanny or simply providing loads of room for a growing or cross-generation family to meeting the space and privacy needs of those that work from home. The ground floor includes an impressive reception foyer leading to huge formal living and dining rooms; master bedroom with large walk-in wardrobe and adjacent bathroom; kitchen with adjacent informal dining room, fitted study, bedroom 2 /or sittingroom + bedroom 3, a second bathroom and laundry. Upstairs: Three further, double size bedrooms with built-in robes, big main family bathroom and large rumpusroom/living room. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy an enviable lifestyle in a truly magical property that also offers an outstanding & prestigious location with ready access to a range of private and public schools, train station, bike track & parkland, Camberwell Junction's renowned shops and restaurants, etc.
