554 Camberwell Road, Camberwell

Positioned within the prized Camberwell High School catchment and zoned for Camberwell South Primary School, this substantial residence is rich in character, generous in scale and filled with unexpected moments.

From the front garden, where a traditional porch overlooks leafy surrounds and a wooden swing sits beneath the trees, the interior opens through double doors into a wide entrance hall where timber detailing, plate rails and panelling immediately establish its timeless charm.

To the left, a pair of doors lead to a gracious living room centred around a fireplace before continuing through to the formal dining room, also warmed by its own fireplace. These rooms speak of another era, yet their sophisticated proportions remain perfectly suited to modern family life.

The kitchen is equipped with a 900mm cooktop and oven and looks across to the meals area, where glazing draws the eye to one of the most memorable features: the indoor swimming pool pavilion. Framed by wood and glass, the pool, which is electrically heated up to 30 degrees, becomes part of the living environment, offering year-round enjoyment and an extraordinary backdrop to everyday life.

The ground floor also includes a bedroom served by a semi-ensuite bathroom with spa bath, a second bedroom or study, a poolside bathroom, and a laundry.

Upstairs, natural light filters through a skylight above the landing before unfolding to an expansive formal lounge with French doors opening onto a north-facing balcony shared with the main bedroom, which includes built-in robes and its own split-system air conditioning. Two additional bedrooms are fitted with robes and split systems, with both stepping out to a rear balcony. One of these rooms currently operates as a home theatre, demonstrating the flexibility of the floorplan.

Outside, established gardens wrap the home in greenery, while ducted heating, off-street parking and attic storage accessed via a pull-down staircase add further appeal.

Moments from Fordham Gardens and Fairmont Avenue Reserve, and close to Hartwell Station, trams, Hartwell Village, Camberwell Junction and leading private schools, this is a home of genuine distinction that honours its heritage while offering exciting scope to refine and update over time.
