Behind a beautiful fa�ade that conveys classical Edwardian character, this stylishly updated free-standing home provides a series of warmly welcoming spaces framed by a captivating rear courtyard and the convenience of a car parking space in front. A polished timber verandah sets the tone for an interior introduced by an elegant hall featuring original floorboards and classic fretwork while three double bedrooms, one with an open fire-place and all with built-in robes, provide appealing accommodation. The pleasing size of a central lounge and the modern mood of the separate living/dining area are complemented by an open-plan kitchen that cleverly adapts the original brickwork stove setting. An island bench, ample storage and quality appliances further enhance the kitchen zone of a home where the bathroom, laundry and toilet occupy a wing of their own. The decked backdrop delivers an ideal conclusion, desirably close to central Footscray, the Market and the station.
