Rear access via Elgin Street

A serene Hawthorn sanctuary set well back behind a deep hedged garden for the utmost privacy and security, 'Longley' is a beautiful Boom Style double storey terrace, comprehensively renovated and extended for magnificent modern family living. Impeccable interior design merging elegance, sophistication and luxury is showcased throughout this light-filled four bedroom and study Victorian featuring separate rear accommodation, capacious wine cellar and garaging with direct Elgin Street access.

Designed by prominent local architect James Wood c.1885, an ornate faade reflects the grandeur within where a perfectly curated and cohesive setting is a triumph of customized excellence and exquisite craftmanship infused with the finest imported and domestic features. An arched hallway framed by a glorious period ceiling and brown ironbark flooring leads to a sumptuous sitting room with a marble gas fireplace, elegant dining room (rare St Anne marble gas FP) and a study/library.

Copious custom-designed storage is seamlessly integrated through the layout as it further unfolds to a powder room, brilliantly efficient streamlined laundry (butler's pantry ready) and a drying cupboard before a stunning provincial gourmet kitchen boasting Miele pyrolytic ovens, steam oven, cooktop and dishwasher while also including sleek Corian countertops, island bench, spacious pantry, delicate hand-painted tiles and conservatory-style glazing. A concealed desk alcove adjoins a family dining area under north-facing highlight windows flowing to a large living room at the rear with Escea gas fireplace, entertainment unit and dual French doors.

Excellent accommodation upstairs with three bedrooms. Grand whisper-quiet master suite with views of the Grace Park Estate, balcony, marble gas FP with artisan tiles, deluxe walk-in robe, ensuite with heated floor/towel rail, double-shower, separate WC. Two further large bedrooms, a sizable family bathroom and teenage retreat living space.

A gorgeous landscaped rear garden in sun-filled treed seclusion is ideal for tranquil alfresco entertaining with gas-mains BBQ and bespoke woodfired pizza oven backdropped by reclaimed Hawthorn brick walls. A separate 'stable' is a luxurious addition with its loft-level accommodation (living room, study, bedroom, bathroom) perfect for guests or extended family, a huge climate-controlled connoisseur's basement cellar (custom designed western red cedar racking for 4500 bottles) and remote-control double garage with easy access direct drive-in lane from Elgin Street.

Additional features include hydronic heating, ducted air-conditioning (cleverly concealed ceiling rose vent in master bedroom), video intercom, alarm, plantation shutters, rainwater tank/garden irrigation and a secure children-friendly garden.
