12 Cradley Avenue, Kew

An expansive north-facing rear landholding at the bowl of this prestigious Studley Park precinct cul-de-sac is the remarkably rare setting of this elevated family residence capturing sweeping views over the Yarra River valley to Mount Macedon and the distant ranges.

A secluded sanctuary surrounded by greenery, this solid brick 1920s home on 1,135sqm approx. combines refined period character, previously-extended comfort and a peerless Kew position close to leading private and elite public schools. Securely set behind a private brick fence with ample off-street parking, this substantial family sanctuary fuses original design with modern expansion creating light-filled, flexible and immediately liveable enjoyment over two north-oriented levels all taking in the views.

Generous accommodation of four bedrooms and two bathrooms is complemented by a versatile formal dining room or 5th bedroom, a handy study nook and lofty balconies to relax and savour the superb vistas. A large living room flows to an outstanding alfresco deck with an elevated outlook, while a spacious family room with a gas fireplace opens directly out to the established, leafy rear garden.
