An exciting future awaits families with this elegant Federation residence in Moonee Ponds. Sitting proudly on a 699-square-metre block on the high side of the street, ‘Stranraer’ (circa 1911) is nestled behind mature gardens that provide year-round privacy. Instantly appealing behind its fretwork-adorned verandah, ‘Stranraer’ has a grand leadlight entry that opens to a long hall with polished floorboards, high skirting boards and ornate fretwork. The formal rooms at the front have been converted to bedrooms with built-in robes (one has a reverse-cycle airconditioner and a walk-in robe housed in the enclosed return verandah).
Another two bedrooms off the hall are serviced by the Regeneration bathroom, which features a corner shower, vanity, bath and toilet. The dining room is next to the lounge room with brick fireplace and french doors, and a side study added in the 1990s. Another doorway leads into the kitchen/meals area with feature wall, and rear sunroom with reverse-cycle airconditioner – all of which share the as-new floating floor. Updated about three years ago with Caesarstone benchtops, the functional kitchen includes wall oven, four-burner gas cooktop, rangehood and dishwasher. There is also a light-filled laundry and a second bathroom. Outside is a shed that could be used as a study, low-maintenance paving and the tiered entertaining area in the north-facing backyard. Plantation shutters, roller blinds, sun shades and under-house storage are other extras. The position will also have no shortage of admirers. Close to an array on quality schools (Moonee Ponds West Primary, St Mary’s, PEGS junior school, Lowther Hall and St Columba’s), it is also a short walk to tram, Union Road shops and eateries, Maribyrnong River parkland, Puckle Street shopping, and Highpoint shopping and entertainment complex.
