16 Olinda Street, Caulfield South

Architect-designed and master-built by its one and only owner in the 1970s when families lived in large spacious homes in quiet streets, this sensational 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is ready and waiting for its next lucky custodians.

Crowned by spectacularly high ceilings, the expansive split-level home is simply brimming with retro appeal, impressing with its generous dimensions and impeccably presented, light-filled spaces. From its elevated position on Olinda Street, a grand entrance leads to a formal lounge and dining room - no doubt the scene of many fabulous dinner parties over the years and destined to do so again for years to come. A central skylit kitchen looks out across the rear family room which is fitted with bespoke joinery. With enviable amounts of storage, an Ilve freestanding oven and glossy granite bench tops, the kitchen is a culinary setting designed to please even the fussiest of chefs.

The main bedroom boasts walk-thru robes to a semi-ensuite - the first of two sparkling bathrooms - while three additional bedrooms are separately zoned, all benefiting from substantial storage.

Hidden away downstairs with access to the over-sized double auto garage are a basement rumpus room and versatile gym/office/storage room complete with WC and wine storage.

Ducted heating and cooling, a security alarm and two separate alfresco terraces - one with retractable awning - are all offered along with neatly manicured, child and pet-friendly gardens.

Move straight in or modernise to suit your taste. On a substantial 888sqm (approx.) with a broad frontage of 18.8m and desirable north-facing rear, you may also choose to explore options of starting again from scratch with a new luxury home or homes (STCA).

Lovely, leafy Olinda Street is close to Kilvington Grammar, Caulfield South Primary School, numerous parklands, cafes, bus stops and Ormond village and train station.
