Overview

Inner-West Edwardian in Coveted Locale

Step into this beautifully presented freestanding Edwardian, where original charm meets contemporary convenience in the heart of Melbourne's Inner-West. Freshly updated and move-in ready, this home offers the perfect blend of period character and modern family living. Behind the classic picket fence, lovingly planted roses frame the front of the home beautifully, restoring the charm and character befitting this period gem. Original hardwood floors and soaring high ceilings welcome you inside, immediately showcasing the timeless appeal of this classic Edwardian home. The two front bedrooms are both bright and generously proportioned, each featuring built-in robes and ceiling fans with lights. Split system heating and cooling in the master bedroom ensures year-round comfort. The open-plan living and dining area flows effortlessly through to the updated kitchen, where quality stainless steel appliances and ample storage make daily living a pleasure. An instantaneous hot water system provides endless efficiency, while the second split system keeps the living spaces comfortable throughout the seasons. At the rear, the updated bathroom sits conveniently off the dining area. Step outside to discover your private north-westerly courtyard - the afternoon sun floods the generously sized decked entertaining area, creating the ideal setting for weekend gatherings or peaceful evenings watching the sunset. Two garden sheds provide practical storage, while established hedges complete your private outdoor sanctuary. This is more than just a home - it's a real community. Adelaide Street is wonderfully quiet and peaceful, where neighbours have become friends who genuinely look out for one another. The location delivers everything you need within easy reach. Gordon Street Bakery, Rudimentary for exceptional coffee and vibes, Dumbo, and local favourites like Harley & Rose are all nearby. McNabb Park and Johnson Reserve Playground provide green spaces moments from home, while West Footscray train station sits just a short walk away, putting the CBD only 6.5km from your doorstep. Families will appreciate the zoning to Footscray Primary School, while Highpoint Shopping Centre and MAC Aquatic Centre are just five minutes by car. Rarely does a home offer this combination of original character, thoughtful updates, and such a genuine sense of community. This is your opportunity to secure a beautifully maintained Edwardian in one of Melbourne's most welcoming Inner-West pockets.
