THE DEAL
Emboldened by a prestige address, this extended and enlivened home delivers outstanding space, clever versatility, and family-focused practicality in a prized pocket skirting the Maribyrnong River.
Behind a mature paperbark tree, verdant front garden, and façade dating back to 1925, an intelligent interior blends modern ease and comfort with warmth and character simply not seen in today’s new homes. With its own ensuite, walk-in robe, and box-bay window framing floral outlooks, a magnificent lower master is accompanied by a smart central bathroom and two additional, robe-lined bedrooms, while above, a luxe bathroom joins robes and sweeping views in enhancing bedrooms 4 and 5. With a window-side day bed brilliant for lounging with a book, an upstairs retreat gifts the floor plan welcomed flexibility, complementing a ground-level entertainer’s suite where living, dining, and kitchen areas merge effortlessly with outside.
Lovingly maintained, impeccably presented, and primed for family life, other highlights include a timber kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, substantial attic storage, plantation shutters, a living-room wood fire, shed/workshop, alarm, carport, extra driveway space, upstairs powder room, and period features in Baltic pine floors, picture rails, fretwork, and high, intricate ceilings.
Close to countless attractions, it’s just steps to great coffee at Darling Street Espresso or Lennox St Deli, cuisine on Union Road, trams bound for the city, and the river for a scenic stroll, jog, or bike ride, while acclaimed public and private schools, bustling Puckle Street, Moonee Ponds Station, Highpoint retail, and the best of Essendon all sit nearby.
