Loved, lived in and full of personality, this beautifully presented single-level home has been tastefully updated for the way we live today while holding tight to its warmhearted soul. And the location is hard to beat.
It forms part of a tightly held pocket that reflects the suburb's earlier era, with period detail showcased through leadlight windows and refined Art Deco touches. Out the front, a lemon tree and lavender bushes scent the path to the porch. Out the back, a jacaranda is spectacular when in bloom. A sitting room opens off the entry porch, with a brick fireplace flanked by built-in shelving, ornate ceilings and decorative cornices drawing the eye up, and split-system air conditioning fitted discreetly above.
Walk through, and the home opens out. The rear is a generous open-plan family and dining room with a second fireplace, split-system air conditioner and a vaulted ceiling capturing the volume. The kitchen runs along one side with a gas cooktop, under-bench oven, dishwasher, subway-tiled splashback and a butcher's block island made for cheese boards before dinner. Bifold doors fold open to the north-facing deck, custom retractable flyscreens letting the breeze in. The jacaranda hangs overhead, a passionfruit vine drapes in from next door, and established garden beds wait for tomatoes and herbs.
Three bedrooms sit at the front of the home, sharing a bathroom with separate bath and shower. A guest powder room and laundry complete the layout. Ducted heating backs up the fireplaces and split systems, an alarm and security shutters keep things secure, and the carport is reached via a cobblestone laneway that keeps everyone driving slowly. The yard is pet-friendly with a generous doggy door and a low-maintenance back garden.
Ormond Park is one minute on foot, Queens Park with its lake and outdoor pool just beyond. Mount Alexander Road trams are five hundred metres away, Moonee Ponds Station has the CBD covered, and the creek trail rolls into the city in twenty-five minutes by bike. Puckle Street draws you in for Palace Cinemas and Brunetti coffee, with Sydney Road Brunswick close behind. Families fall within Ascot Vale Primary and Mount Alexander 7-12 College zones. And then there are the neighbours. The WhatsApp group sharing tools, trivia nights and homegrown produce. A street that looks out for its own.
