40 Stewart Street, Ormond

With a history dating back to the 1930s, meticulously extended and modernised over time, this heart-warming family home has been the cherished setting for the current owners for approximately 30 years. Nestled in the tight McKinnon Secondary College zone, the home throwbacks to its Art Deco heritage with textural stucco, striking brickwork and handsome timber trim - watched over by a glorious Liquid Amber to the front, it spills to a tranquil ‘Lovers Garden’ at the rear.

Soaring 3m ceilings, plate & picture rails and glorious plasterwork ceilings are just some of the highlights through the classic interiors which are further enhanced by plantation shutters on the traditional double hung sash windows.

With a roaring open fireplace in a black granite hearth, the formal lounge flows through to an elegant separate dining room, while bursting open to the rear, the open plan family/meals zone is flooded with natural light and embraces a premium quality kitchen headlining Miele and Gaggenau appliances alongside silky Carrara marble. Extending the entertaining areas, the alfresco patio looks out to the cascading garden and a dining gazebo illuminated by festooned lighting.

The master is generous and inviting and enjoys views of the irrigated garden – together with two further double bedrooms it offers fitted wardrobes and shares two sparkling bathrooms, one renovated to reflect the themes of the era.

A large laundry with pet-door to an enclosed cat run will appeal to friends of felines – a study nook, hydronic heating throughout, split system cooling, ample storage and an alarm complete the internals. The auto garage features a new epoxy floor and independent security, while a garden shed, carport and onsite parking round off a simply lovely property.

In a prized location within easy reach of buses & trains and close to cafes, shops, quality schooling and expansive parklands.

We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
