SOLD BY JOHN MANNING
Behind the picket fence and weatherboard façade, this single-fronted freestanding Victorian combines period proportions, original floorboards, high ceilings and a sought-after inner-south address with enough comfort to live in now and plenty of opportunity to make it your own.
The floorplan is generous and easy to work with. Two bedrooms sit up front, followed by a central living room, dining area, kitchen with breakfast bar, full bathroom and separate laundry. The outdoor area offers scope for a more ambitious alfresco vision, while air conditioners, ceiling fans, heaters and a shed add everyday function.
The home would benefit from an update, and that is where the upside lies. Renovators can restore the period charm, sharpen the spaces and bring the interiors into the present. Those with a bigger brief may look to open the rear entirely, extend into the courtyard, or add a second storey that keeps the picturesque street presence while completely reinventing what happens behind it. The result, subject to council approval, could be something with real personality.
Carlisle Street, Alma Park, Balaclava Station, trams, cafés, shops, Chapel Street's Windsor end, the beach and St Kilda Botanical Gardens are close by, putting morning coffees, afternoon park runs, evening dining and weekend beach time within walking distance. School zoning covers Windsor Primary and Elwood College, with St Michael's Grammar and St Mary's Primary nearby.
Buy it for what it is. Reimagine it for what it could be.
