Under Contract. This sizable West Melbourne residence, tucked away in a hidden pocket of our marvellous city, is a quirky link to Melbourne's historic past, in a tightly held area where few period home opportunities arise. Greeted by its unadorned facade, step inside to a traditional floorplan rich with period features, grand height ceilings, OFPs, decorative mantles and polished boards.
A front room serves perfectly as a light filled 2nd living room, downstairs 4th bedroom or convenient office, onwards to the central living room, cosy with warm tones and textures, OFP and picture window to allow light penetration. Beyond lies the hub of the home, a large room warmed by the glow of the Northern sun incorporating a American Rock maple timber kitchen, feature shelving & joinery, Blanco appliances and retro linoleum. Continuing onto the dining area, this lovely space is surrounded by windows and overlooks the quaint courtyard with handy storage shed, vine creepers and textured walls. This very private area leads to a quintessential inner-city feature-a pedestrian ROW.
Meander upstairs to a generous layout incorporating 3 naturally lit bedrooms, the front master with historic views over the neighbourhood and Docklands, the smaller rear bedroom enjoys immense light, built in storage and would make an ideal nursery, sewing room or reading room. A central country-style bathroom services the home with bath/shower combination & natural ventilation, the middle bedroom consistent with the rest of the home with good proportions, OFP and a North facing window. Hydronic heating throughout keeps things cosy in a unique home that not only offers numerous rooms to establish a flexible lifestyle, but is also enhanced by being positioned in the University High School zone. Surrounded by a multitude of lifestyle options including Errol Street, Flagstaff Gardens, Victoria Market, the Docklands precinct and Etihad Stadium, grasp this chance to own a traditional family home within a few minutes' walk to the heart of the CBD. A Westside story to sing about !
