13 Rochester Road, Canterbury VIC 3126

On prestigious Rochester Road's prized elevated side, handsome brick Camira c.1923 retains all the grace and character of its era on a magnificent 1,174 sqm (approx.) less than a 10 min walk from Maling Road, Canterbury Station and Canterbury Gardens. Whilst the dimensions of its grand period neighbours have evolved with contemporary expectations, Camira remains largely original, creating a wonderful, untouched starting point for any renovation/extension (STCA).

Elevated and set back above its admired leafy streetscape, a commanding façade with grand central staircase and deep full-length verandah provides both distinguished introduction to the character within and private vantage point from which to appreciate the premier surrounds and beautiful future garden. Beyond, a double entry foyer links together five impressive principal rooms that retain their high ceilings, rich timber joinery and decorative leadlight or double sash windows. Two feature charming open fireplaces, the grand central living room still lined with its original timber panelling and its gracious brick fireplace. At the rear, a deep garden presents exciting scope to introduce the past to a leading-edge contemporary design (STCA) that creates a state-of-the-art forever family home in this blue-chip location close to leading private schools.
