The eternal elegance of this grand Californian is complemented by an extended double-storey design providing an aspirational family lifestyle of quality and versatility in one of Essendon's most desirable double-width streetscapes. A terrific mix of classic and contemporary, the home's graceful interior showcases five large bedrooms (four with BIRs) all serviced by two marble-tiled bathrooms - one on each level. Further underlining its fine family credentials is the inclusion of a dedicated study alcove, retreat (upstairs), elegant formal lounge, separate dining room (or theatre room) and adaptable open living/dining area adjoined by a timber-bench kitchen with large pantry, Miele cooking appliances and Fisher & Paykel double dishwasher. High ceilings and solid hardwood floors add to the appeal, together with an alarm system, ducted heating, evaporative cooling and additional split-system air conditioning, as well as a family-sized laundry and excellent storage options throughout and above. Step outside to enjoy the alfresco-style deck and wonderfully private backyard garden, plus the added advantage of a lock-up garage and gated side driveway. Fletcher Street tram stop around the corner, it's also walking distance to Essendon Station and a choice of bus routes, Napier Street shops and eateries, as well as easy access to a range of popular schools (Strathmore SC zone) and Citylink.
