"Leura"

Offered for the first time in over a generation, Leura (c1912) is the quintessential family home, defined by commanding street presence and sprawling accommodation set on over 1300 square metres in the middle of one of Melbourne’s most revered tree lined streetscapes. Private, yet incredibly light, benefitting from the abundant northerly aspect and generous distancing from similarly large neighbouring homes, the accommodation is highlighted by elegant and substantial formal rooms, wide hallways together with numerous living zones and home office spaces. The light filled main family domain together with the open planned kitchen and dining area enjoy soaring ceilings and brilliant connection to outdoors, where substantial decking and alfresco entertaining areas overlook the vast landscaped gardens and pool. The main bedroom suite and adjacent second are grand in proportion and provide ground level convenience, whilst four further bedrooms and a central family bathroom upstairs provide opportunity to adapt to any stage of family life, or any size of family in future. An extensive list of features includes magnificent period detail throughout, a huge laundry and pantry, central heating and split system cooling, garden shed, carport and additional secure parking for four cars, watering system, alarm, and a position that is famous for the quality of homes on significant allotments, and ease of access to numerous schools including Scotch College, Lauriston, St Kevins, Bialik together with Glenferrie Road transport, shopping, Kooyong Tennis Club and abundant parkland. A most beautiful and substantial home which invites legacy and enjoyment for future generations ahead.
