SOLD BY JAMES BROUGHAM. PH: 0412 620 498.

Exclusively situated within a highly sought after and tightly-held pocket, this distinguished circa 1923 home is enriched with history, magnificently showcasing evocative period features and graciously proportioned dimensions while also offering breathtaking views towards the majestic Dandenong Ranges.

Originally a holiday house for the wealthy, 'Cariad', which is Welsh for 'darling' or 'sweetheart', still remains a sanctuary of elegance and beauty today. Flanked by a serene English garden, the sweeping driveway invitingly leads to the elevated home, beautifully poised on a 3/4 acre (2978m2 approx.) block which also features a tennis court and solar-heated, salt-chlorinated in-ground swimming pool and spa.

The welcoming verandah at once transports you to a bygone era and once inside, the grand entry continues to impress with high ceilings and polished floorboards, which are featured throughout, in addition to wainscoting and French doors.

Sumptuous indoor and outdoor living areas provide separate and distinct living zones for socialising and entertaining. The formal living area boasts a gas log fire and stunning views to the Dandenongs while the glorious formal dining hall comprises an open fireplace. French doors open up from both rooms to connect with the front verandah. Meanwhile, another casual lounge area provides a space for rest and relaxation.

The blackwood timber kitchen is fully equipped with European appliances, including; Ilve gas stove and electric wall oven, in addition to a Miele dishwasher. Furthermore, the kitchen also benefits from ample storage cupboards, built-in coffee machine and an adjacent meals area which opens out to an expansive Merbau deck leading around to a covered sitting area. Paving around the pool creates the perfect environment to relax, extending the available outdoor space.

The home also features four bedrooms including a master with walk-in robe and full ensuite, as well as a main bathroom with large shower, spa and timber vanity. Additional highlights include; fully renovated laundry, gas ducted heating, ceiling fans, two split system air-conditioning units, attic with gentle incline ladder, two separate storage rooms, wine cellar, ornate plastering including ceilings roses, sash windows, sunblinds, cubby house, two water tanks and generous parking including ample off street parking.

This property is conveniently situated just a short stroll from Croydon Central, local bus stop, Croydon Railway Station, Croydon Park with playground and barbeque area, St. John's Kindergarten, Ainslie Park Primary School, Croydon Primary School, Melba College, as well as offering momentary access to The Good Shepherd Primary School, Yarra Valley Grammar, Tintern Grammar, EastLink freeway, hospitals and Croydon Memorial Pool.
