Overview

Character, Convenience And Community, All In One

A classic weatherboard facade with a return verandah introduces this beautifully renovated 1917 residence, where period charm and everyday practicality sit together with real ease. Behind the picket fence, leadlight glass windows and doors carry the home's early character through to a light filled interior, while polished floorboards lead from the entrance to two comfortable bedrooms, one featuring a built in desk nook and the other framed by a striking bay window. A dedicated bathroom and separate toilet serve the home efficiently, while the open plan kitchen impresses with stone benchtops, an island bench and quality appliances including a Bosch dishwasher and Smeg Classic stove. The adjoining dining and living areas flow naturally from here, warmed in cooler months by gas heating, split system air conditioning and a wood fireplace framed by original antique tiles. Step through French doors and the story continues outdoors, where a paved courtyard sits beneath a pergola, framed by established garden beds and mature trees. A gate to the rear laneway adds future flexibility, with potential to create a car space down the track. Eight rooftop solar panels complete a home that blends heritage character with genuine modern comfort. Positioned within easy reach of the new hospital, Footscray market, station, primary and high schools, with cycling and walking tracks in nearby Footscray Park, this is inner west living with everything close at hand. A home ready to welcome its next chapter.
