Striking, double-fronted, double brick, freestanding Edwardian home presenting three large bedrooms, a spacious, well-laid-out interior with soaring ceiling heights, timber floors, several decorative fireplaces, and beautiful, stately windows.
An attractive front verandah that incorporates lacework and tessellated tiles, tuckpointing to brickwork, a white picket fence, and stained-glass above the entrance door hints at what lies inside. All three bedrooms are large, the main has its own fully tiled ensuite bathroom, and all feature decorative fireplaces, pressed metal ceilings and solid hardwood flooring. The wide, central hallway is punctuated by a decorative arch and leads to the impressive lounge room with grand proportions, an eye-catching marble fireplace and beautiful tall windows that create a welcoming and sophisticated ambiance.
Towards the rear is a generous country style kitchen fitted with ample storage options, a central island bench and cosy window seating where you'll no doubt enjoy many cups of coffee. The hardwood floors continue all the way through to the kitchen and complement the neutral colour scheme nicely. Comfortable and functional in its current state with scope to update later, if desired.
Off the main hallway is the good-sized central bathroom tiled in gloss white and charcoal offering under sink cabinetry and a large shower. The final room is the charming sunroom that can double as a dining room or breakfast room. It's surrounded by timber and glass windows and doors allowing sunshine to flood in and opens to the north-facing, brick-paved yard. An unrenovated laundry room and a guest WC complete the interior.
The yard is full-width and has a double sized roller door which is accessed via a laneway and offers space for two cars. There is plenty of room to add a designated BBQ and outdoor entertaining area, a shed or even a plunge pool if that has been your lifelong dream.
Neatly presented throughout and well-located to nearby Swan Street shopping precinct where an array of amenities, services and indulgences await. Notable schools in this area include Melbourne Girls' College, Trinity Catholic School, Richmond Kindergarten, Richmond Primary School and Yarra Primary School. Stroll to Burnley Park, Burnley Golf Course and for coffee lovers there is the always popular Friends of Mine cafe and the Bendigo Street Milk Bar. Everything is at your fingertips, including public transport options, an easy CBD commute and great freeway access.
