Situated sensationally in a leafy cul-de-sac with everything Footscray only footsteps away, this white-picket charmer offers a first-rate fusion of elegance and simplicity, perfect for living comfortably, planning over coming years and executing an eventual revamp to bring legacy to life.
Staying true to heritage with its iron lacework and window bars, pair of fireplaces, feature arch and roses on soaring ceilings, the semi-detached classic and its era-typical details prove ideal foundations for a bespoke reimagining. Two substantial bedrooms are introduced en route to a wide-open living area and pine-ceiling extension home to slate floors, a storage-rich kitchen and dining space awash with all-day sun. Sliding doors promote air flow, merge inside and out and turn the abode into a year-round entertainer, revealing a covered patio setting and raised northern deck brilliant for a sunrise coffee, evening drink or family barbecue.
Augmented with gas heating, a wealth of book shelving, large shed, laundry and bathroom with a bath and separate toilet, comfort is instant and yield potential is impressive, just as attractive as a first home or downsizer’s domain or as a professional’s base or investment in the burgeoning inner west.
