Built in 1920 and less than 10km from the CBD, this lovingly restored four-bedroom beauty in West Footscray is the family home you’ve been searching for. With period features retained, and an extension and large garden offering loads of room to move, this home is the perfect blend of classic and contemporary, with opportunity for further updates to truly make it your own.
A picture-perfect weatherboard façade, lush front garden and the original art-deco front door welcome you to this beautiful home, while the entry hall’s feature two-tone floorboards are just the beginning of the wow factor of this house. All four bedrooms are spacious, with built-in robes in two and a walk-in robe in one.
The generous open-plan kitchen/dining/family area features wiring for surround sound, plenty of room for a large dining table for family meals, and a feature wall with a custom-built recessed bookshelf.
The sizeable, updated kitchen has views of the garden, and is well-equipped with plenty of storage and stainless-steel appliances. Bi-folding glass doors open out to the beautiful, established back garden, while the additional glass doors in the family room invite you to step down into the idyllic sunken outdoor entertaining area, paved with bricks and protected by a dreamy canopy of ornamental grape. The formal living room with functional fireplace at the front of the house provides the luxury of extra family space.
The separate laundry with toilet and shower adds to the convenience of this home, and with two generous closets in the entry hall and an easily accessible attic space, storage will never be an issue – a huge bonus in a home of this vintage.
The central location is within walking distance of West Footscray station, a short stroll from the bus stop, Footscray West Primary and local favourite café, Dumbo. It is surrounded by recreational parks and just a short drive to the incomparable Footscray Park. With the rest of the inner-west just minutes away, this home truly offers a lifestyle any family will love. Perfect for families and investors alike, this home is one not to be missed.
