A rare opportunity to revive a Ripponlea original and relish the rewards for years to come. This utterly charming, one of a period pair is impressively proportioned on approximately 652sqm of sun-swept land just metres to the tram, train and village. This is your chance to create something truly special in a highly sought pocket with outstanding lifestyle appeal.
Graced with all the hallmarks of the Edwardian era with its soaring pressed metal ceilings throughout, gorgeous coloured glass windows and tiled open fireplaces, the red-brick home is perfectly placed to undergo a spectacular transformation. Four principal rooms are generous and offer many future options, while the updated rear is ready to make way for a magnificent modern living and entertaining domain.
Afternoon sun illuminates a traditional floor plan featuring a gorgeous lounge or potential main bedroom (open fireplace) at the front of the home. Three more spacious rooms flow from a long hallway adorned with beautiful pressed metal ceilings and timber fretwork. An open plan, gas heated living, kitchen (gas stove and walk-in pantry) and meals area opens to the deep backyard with a favourable north-easterly aspect. Also included is a neat bathroom, separate WC and European laundry.
With attractive street presence, a sweeping frontage and plenty of off-street parking, this captivating property is ripe for the picking. Add to this an easy walk to acclaimed dining institution Attica as well as other local favourites such as Ripponlea Food & Wine, Spot On, Spout Cafe and both Zelda and Firebrand Bakeries plus the train station and tram stop. Close to Quat Quatta and Ripponlea Estate, while also being central to Elsternwick, Elwood, parkland and Melbourne’s best beaches.
