Enchanting Victorian credentials and a timeless floorplan provide exciting prospects in a prized position by Maribyrnong River trails, opposite St Monica’s Primary School and just a few doors away from an easy fish and chip meal or exotic seafood sensation at the Conway Fish Trading. Offered for the first time in three decades, this enviable home occupies an idyllic city-fringe address that’s conveniently located by CBD bound cycling trails, buses and Footscray Train, a choice of state and private schools, universities, eclectic shopping, cafes and dining, and nearby Footscray Hospital and Market.
Gorgeous street-verge gardens transition to a front veranda with period timber details that whisper of a by-gone era, where laced veranda framing may once have embellished the pretty façade. For the inspired renovator, this rare opportunity will reward tenfold should you restore interiors to its original grandeur comprising soaring ceilings, decorative cornicing, two open fireplaces, polished floorboards, and perhaps some hidden gems to discover. Alternately reconfigure the rear of the home with a second level (STCA) while merging contemporary comforts with historic charm.
Entirely comfortable, you’ll find a sensible layout incorporating four expansive front bedrooms, separate bathroom, toilet and laundry, and an open kitchen, dining and living room with bi-fold doors to an alfresco deck. You’ll love the solar panels that earn 66cents per kilowatt, where the current owners enjoy rebates not bills! The rear of the home is ideal for outdoor entertaining with its courtyard garden, including rear lane access and extraordinary scope to reinvent as a private family sanctuary that boasts an extraordinary setting by inspired artistic, culinary and outdoor adventures.
