57 Surrey Rd, South Yarra VIC 3141

A grand Victorian home dating back to the 1800s, this captivating single level residence offers genuine family accommodation in the heart of South Yarra with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, alongside a rich history, glistening swimming pool and off-street parking for two cars. Filled with irreplaceable artisan detail and decoration, the preservation of the home's superb craftsmanship creates a backdrop of warmth and richness, while banks of windows and soaring ceilings open the interior to the landscaped garden. Much of the timber detailing including the doors, trim and floors have been brought into the home from former sailing vessel Olinga of Melbourne and a nunnery of the same period. Soaring ceiling heights, dramatic domed ceilings, open fireplaces and stained glass detail sit in perfect context with the generous spaces, while the expansive floorplan caters beautifully to family living. The accommodation seamlessly merges a pair of reception rooms with separate family living and dining rooms and a timber kitchen with dishwasher, double ovens with inbuilt air fryer and breakfast bar. Outdoors is designed for summer fun in the private north west garden with a sparkling heated swimming pool and paved entertainment area. Peaceful garden and pool views fill the three bedrooms, two with ensuites alongside a main bathroom. Completed with secure undercover parking for two cars with remote garage door and private from the street behind a high bluestone fence, this enchanting home offers a richly rewarding pace of residence with potential for a sympathetic renovation convenient to Surrey Park, Hawksburn train station, hundreds of cafes and retail stores, Jam Factory, Chapel Street precinct, trams and Toorak Road.
