The ever-beautiful King Edward Avenue is a fitting address for this C1940 British Colonial-inspired character home that celebrates its charming origins with the same gusto that it does its inspired modern additions on a plot spanning more than 1200 soul soothing square metres.
Set back from the tree-lined expanses of one of Hawthorn's most tightly-held streets to strike the prettiest first impression behind inch-perfect gardens, the scene is set for this solar-powered home with expansive wings and a bevy of living zones.
Take note of the 3m-high ceilings, quaint window seats, rich timber wall panelling, working fireplaces and jarrah floors that glow under the spell of passing time - and help piece together the light-filled original section of this versatile home.
Whether it's the dining room well-versed in wooing large crowds, the front lounge room that looks over those front gardens with gleeful ease, or the living room that yearns for winter nights by its combustion fireplace, there's a special space at every turn.
That 2012 extension is defined by its ultra-modern rear kitchen with Ceasarstone benchtops, Bosch dishwasher, Blanco gas stove and a sliding servery windows that connects to the bar and huge poolside alfresco pavilion.
At the push of a button, the pavilion's cafe blinds close to create what is essentially an extension of the internal footprint, adding yet another layer to the way you entertain on a property with a separate one-bedroom/one-bathroom studio at its rear. Home sweet home for your eldest teen perhaps.
Just a stroll from Mitcham Square and bus/train stops, moments from several schools and top-notch colleges, and metres from a dog-friendly football oval and playground, the scene is set - and so is your lifestyle.
