Positioned where the street meets open parkland, this striking double storey residence immediately announces its intent, a federation inspired facade of ornate ironwork lace, cast finials and traditional proportions that speaks to considered, quality construction throughout. This is a forever family home, built by its original owners to live in themselves, and every room reflects that care.
Step through the entry and the ceiling roses, deep skirting and elegant archways confirm the promise of the facade. A formal lounge warmed by its own fireplace and a separate office offer flexible spaces for a growing household, while the scale throughout, generous room sizes, soaring ceilings and a floorplan built to entertain, reveals just how much this home has to offer.
At the heart of the home, a substantial living and dining domain opens through bifold doors to a skylit alfresco terrace, framed by established topiary and its own courtyard fountain, an entertainer's setting that flows effortlessly between indoors and out. The kitchen anchors it all with a freestanding oven and cooktop, a corner pantry and abundant storage, built for the busy rhythm of family life.
A separate retreat adds yet another living option, and together with the formal lounge and office, both of which could just as easily convert into bedrooms, offers the flexibility to configure this home as it suits, whether that means four bedrooms and a dedicated office, five bedrooms for a larger household, or the full seven bedroom potential for those who need every space to work harder.
Upstairs, four bedrooms are led by a master suite with its own balcony, walk in robe and ensuite, while a central bathroom and separate toilet service the remaining three, each finished with the same attention to detail found throughout.
Ducted heating and cooling, a security alarm system, a double garage and abundant storage complete a home that has been finished, not just built.
Close to Shepherd Gardens and the everyday convenience of Central West Shopping Centre, with Highpoint Shopping Centre a short drive away, and zoned for Footscray West Primary School, Christ The King Primary School and Maribyrnong College, this is a location that delivers the lifestyle of Melbourne's inner west, minus the price tag that usually comes with it.
A once in a generation opportunity to secure a home built to last for the family that will live in it for years to come.
