Positioned on a prized corner block, 51A Macpherson Street presents an exciting opportunity to secure a comfortable, move-in-ready home with outstanding scope to renovate, enhance, and truly make your own. Held by the same family for 41 years, this is a home that has been genuinely cherished - and its quality and character reflect that care.
Behind its charming cream brick façade, the home offers immediate liveability with fresh updates already in place. Two well-proportioned bedrooms sit off the hallway, one complete with built-in robes and built-in shelving. Character features including sash windows, picture rails, decorative cornices, and high ceilings add warmth and timeless appeal throughout.
A separate, carpeted living room provides a cosy retreat, highlighted by an ornamental fireplace, ceiling rose, and original detailing. Freshly painted interiors and brand-new carpets ensure you can settle in straight away while planning future improvements.
At the heart of the home, a central kitchen and dining space features floating timber floors, gas cooking, and a walk-in pantry - functional as is, yet brimming with potential for a modern transformation. The updated bathroom includes a shower and vanity, complemented by a separate toilet for added convenience.
Outside, flexibility is key with a lock-up garage accessed via Macpherson Street, plus additional off-street parking via roller door from Shepherd Street - ideal for multiple vehicles or future enhancements.
The true standout, however, is the location. Enjoy unbeatable proximity to everything that makes Footscray so sought-after. Walk to Barkly Village, Sims IGA, Footscray Market and Shorten Reserve, or explore the vibrant cafés, shops and eateries of Seddon Village. Commuting is effortless with Middle Footscray railway station just moments away, offering a quick trip into the CBD. Local favourite eateries including West 48, Dumbo and Gordon Street Bakery are all within easy reach.
Zoned for quality schooling including Footscray Primary School, this is a location that truly delivers on lifestyle and convenience.
Homes held this long in such a tightly held, high-demand pocket rarely come to market. Whether you're looking to move straight in, invest, or unlock the full potential through renovation, this is a rare and genuine opportunity not to be missed.
