If you’ve been searching for the perfect family home, look no further than 8 Maddock Street, Footscray. This beautifully restored three-bedroom Californian Bungalow combines character-filled original features with modern updates to create the ultimate in comfortable, convenient and stylish living. Set on a quiet street in a friendly, family-oriented neighbourhood, this happy home offers the very best of indoor/outdoor living.
The welcoming façade boasts the home’s original 1940’s door and leadlight panels, and a charming entry hall leads to the three large double bedrooms, each of which includes built-in robes, ceiling fans and lovingly restored original decorative features. With a fresh white colour scheme and polished boards throughout, this home has a beautiful sense of continuity, and is comfortable year-round thanks to ducted heating throughout, and split-system cooling in the generous living room.
The galley-style kitchen is well equipped with a Smeg oven and five-burner cooktop, and is stylishly designed with plenty of storage. The kitchen opens out onto the large light-filled dining area, with built-in storage and a custom-made study nook.
Huge glass French doors open out onto the covered back deck, creating a generous indoor/outdoor entertaining space that overlooks the incredible back garden, which really has to be seen to be believed. Sectioned into zones, the garden boasts a generous lawn area, a slate-paved dining area complete with an in-built cantilever umbrella for shade, a fire pit corner with in-built seating and paved with lovingly restored railway sleepers, a garden shed, and a cubbyhouse. The garden space only gets more beautiful at night, with under-seat lighting in the firepit area, fairy lights wrapped around the huge palm tree in the corner, and backlit decorative panels in the outdoor dining area. This garden space has been perfectly designed for entertaining and playing, and adds a huge amount of living space to this already spacious home.
With public transport close by, Highpoint Shopping Centre just a five-minute drive away, and the cafes and restaurants of Footscray and West Footscray within walking distance, this home’s quiet location belies its convenience and proximity to the action.
