An idyllic outlook to Gahans Reserve is set to inspire the next generation looking to realize the amazing potential of this freestanding residence offering superb rear access. Double-fronted with a beautiful tuckpointed brick façade, this extra-wide 3 bedroom Victorian is a long-held classic presenting a sensational opportunity for a stunning renovation to fully capitalize on its park-view position, north-side orientation and sizable city-edge allotment. Solid, spacious and secluded, the single-level interior combines vintage comfort and retro character complemented by split-system heating and cooling. A peaceful parkland and historic town hall vista provide a picturesque welcome where a courtyard garden and lace-trimmed veranda open into a central fretted hallway leading to 3 large bedrooms and a living room. A timeless kitchen with gas stove and storage incorporates a meals area and a walk-in pantry while further is a separate laundry, toilet and bathroom. Outside is a big surprise as the predominantly paved rear garden with a feature jacaranda, storage shed and gates offers rear off-street parking and exciting scope for future expansion. An attractive property with exceptional prospects opposite the park, this highly-prized home on 202 sq. metres (approx.) is a rare discovery only moments to cafes, restaurants and shops on Victoria Street, the Convent Arts precinct, Collingwood Children's Farm, Yarra River trails, schools as well as Collingwood train station and buses for easy city access.
