Overview

Parkfront Living with Dual Frontages

Fronting the green expanse of Lagoon Reserve, within easy reach of Bay Street and the beach, this extra-wide freestanding single-level Victorian claims one of Port Melbourne's most enviable positions. Its north-west rear aspect draws beautiful natural light across an extended three-bedroom design, while a second frontage to Drysdale Street provides secure parking and valuable privacy for family living. Beyond landscaped gardens and a decked verandah, high ceilings, a corbelled arch and Baltic pine floors retain the home's stunning period character, introducing three robed bedrooms, including a main bedroom with an open fireplace, decorative ceiling rose and soaring proportions. An updated central bathroom with a bath and separate shower sits within the sunlit rear extension, opening into a generous living and dining area alongside a well-appointed kitchen with a substantial terrazzo island and European appliances. Timber French doors extend the interiors to a covered deck and private red-brick courtyard screened by established greenery, creating a peaceful setting for alfresco dining while retaining easy vehicle access. Instantly enjoyable with scope to add value and personal style over time, additional features include ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ceiling fans, split system heating/cooling in the living room, a European laundry, ample storage including a huge 10m x 6m storage attic and wide side access for garden maintenance, all within footsteps of Bay Street's local favourites, the beach, the light rail and leading schools, including zoning for Albert Park College. Land size: 230sqm (approx).
