Some homes take a little time to reveal themselves and 140 Edgar Street is exactly that kind of property. What presents as a well-built two-storey brick home from the street unfolds inside into a surprisingly spacious and characterful residence, brimming with warmth, flexibility and genuine family appeal.
From the moment you step inside, the character of this home makes itself known. Original exposed brick walls, beautiful parquetry timber floors and generous room proportions run throughout both levels, the kind of bones that give a home real personality and stands the test of time.
The ground floor is the working heart of the home. A well-appointed kitchen and dining area features modern cabinetry, gas cooktop, oven, ample storage and a walk-in pantry leading to a staircase to a bonus downstairs ‘secret’ room – perfect for a playroom, wine cellar or additional hidden storage. The living room is a wonderful space with exposed brick, parquetry floors, and plenty of room for the whole family to gather. A second living area provides additional flexibility, perfect as a playroom, retreat or home office. Four bedrooms are spread across the ground floor, all comfortable and well-proportioned, serviced by a renovated bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a generous walk-in shower, plus a separate toilet and laundry.
Head upstairs and the home surprises again. The upper level opens into an enormous light-filled living space; soaring exposed brick walls, beautiful parquetry flooring and a full-width balcony that frames views across Portland's rooftops and out to Portland Bay. This level also features a second bathroom and offers genuine flexibility as a parent's retreat, teenage zone, home office or guest accommodation. The upstairs area alone is a standout of generous proportion. It's the kind of space that rarely exists in homes at this price point.
Outside, the rear yard is fully fenced and well-sized with established lawn, raised vegetable garden beds, fruit trees, a trampoline and play equipment, plus a large original stone outbuilding that adds further storage or workshop potential. A single garage completes the picture.
Whether you're a family looking for room to grow, a buyer seeking something with genuine character, or an investor recognising the versatility this property offers. Close to schools and kindergartens, 140 Edgar Street is a unique home that rewards those who look beyond the surface and must be seen to be appreciated.
