• A freestanding weatherboard classic promising comfort and room to revitalise
• Two bedrooms, a tidy bathroom, well-equipped kitchen and sizeable living/dining area
• Backyard rich with plant life, brilliant for entertaining and giving potential for parking (STCA - rear laneway)
• Close to parks, transport, schools and ever-vibrant Yarraville and Seddon
Relishing Kingsville’s blend of leafy calm and lifestyle verve, this freestanding gem retains all of its inherent charm, promises comfort from the outset and provides stirring scope to personalise, modernise and revitalise.
On a quiet, one-way street home to vibrant foliage, timeless architecture and a true sense of community, the abode’s inter-war character proves as alluring today as upon construction nearly a century ago, with a weatherboard façade, soaring, original ceiling and elaborate details beyond perfect foundations for any future revamp.
Two substantial bedrooms highlight the interior’s impressive proportions, accompanied by a tidy bathroom with a bath and shower. With an oversized living/dining room providing plenty of room for unwinding and entertaining, a separate, storage-rich kitchen boasts first-class modern appliances, stepping into a backyard serving as the home’s wonderful centrepiece. In full bloom, the purples and reds of Jacaranda and Japanese Maple trees form a fabulous backdrop, just as sublime for a morning with a coffee as it is an afternoon barbecue or social drink watching the setting sun.
Instantly enjoyable while offering room to renew in years to come, other highlights include reverse-cycle heating/cooling, a large shed, full-size laundry, ample storage, rear lane frontage for potential off-street parking (STCA) and period features in Baltic pine floors, picture rails, and an ornate arch, cornices, architraves, skirts and ceiling roses.
