Beguiling Origins & Prospects by Seddon Train

Sensationally nested just moments from the Seddon Train Station and Yarraville Gardens, this unique freestanding home surprises with intriguing origins as a Milk Bar (operating from the early 1900’s until the mid-1960’s), with a discreet letter box slot directly into the street-aligned brick façade. Exciting prospects entice on this 280m2 approx block (being around 5.6m by 50m’s in depth), where you’ll reveal the secrets of the original shop entry, weatherboards, possible timber floors beneath vinyl and carpet, a footpath veranda and a small factory rumoured to occupy the rear concrete pad!

For those with a creative flair to reinvent, reconfigure, extend or rebuild (STCA), this enchanted dwelling is the perfect property to instigate an entirely new path. The floorplan provides endless scope with well-presented and comfortable interiors, and although there’s no hallway, the benefits deliver significant space from the front lounge and office to the central kitchen that provides the main entry, with two sizable bedrooms, rear bathroom and laundry. There’s a traditional old-world back toilet and a substantial backyard, with gas hot water, aircon and a garden shed.

This enviable and idyllic address is within a tightly-held and highly sought-after enclave that’s an easy meander or cycle to both Seddon and Yarraville Villages with a choice of schools, child care, Vic Uni, eclectic shopping, cafes and restaurants. You’ll love the Yarraville Sun Theatre, parkland and waterfront cycling trails, Westgate Punt, Williamstown Beach, fishing and marinas, Flemington Racetrack, sporting and leisure clubs and easy access to major arterial roads.
