THOUGHTFUL AND SPECTACULAR AL FRESCO RENOVATION
Edwardian charms have been completely re-built and elegantly extended to present a timeless al fresco flow that celebrates the sunny joys of the northern orientation of this uplifting, 3 bedroom, family-sized residence. Certain to attract admiration, this visually impressive home has been fully renovated with a keen eye for sustainability and energy efficiency.
An inspired, architect-designed, extension sees an open-plan kitchen / meals / living utilise towering vaulted ceilings and stunning north-facing windows to dramatic effect in creating a symphony of light and space. Equally dramatic, the kitchen contrasts volumes of white cabinetry with a timber-topped island bench, European appliances and striking black overhead cabinetry to provide a space that is both functional and attractive; the perfect place to gather for breakfast or a glass of wine. Two sets of full-height, glass sliding doors open to a north-facing deck that enjoys the occasional shelter of an automated retractable awning, creating a space for year-round enjoyment that overlooks a deep and drought-tolerant backyard. As it features established fruit trees and irrigated veggie patches, this a particularly versatile family garden.
The master bedroom is serviced by an ensuite and built-in robes. Indeed, all bedrooms have built-in robes in the thoughtful re-build of this classical home with polished hardwood floors, European hydronic heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, a full-sized laundry and the highly-coveted prize of front parking. Additional features in this fully re-stumped, re-wired, re-plumbed and re-plastered home include incredible insulation (including sub-floor) and double-glazed windows throughout. Every detail has been considered.
Delightfully nestled between the Merri Creek and St.Georges Rd, you have ample local parkland, great cafes and restaurants, plenty of shops, childcare, great schools (Northcote High zoned) and city-bound public transport all within glorious walking distance.

Vendor Review
Beyond our expectations
Our experience with Nelson Alexander was beyond our expectations.
We were treated with utmost respect throughout the sale process and were availed all the times with the support needed to make good decisions and to arrive at positions we felt comfortable with and committed to.
Not with standing that support we felt that our decisions were our own, and we believe that that autonomy and independence was borne out of the professionalism and genuine approach of Tom and Denise.
I would not hesitate to recommend Nelson Alexander to potential vendors/purchasers in the future, as we would want others to have as positive and fruitful an experience as we had.
