A timeless charmer with all the flair and flamboyance of boom-era origins, this brick-and-bluestone gem offers an outstanding opportunity to move in and enjoy, take time to plan, and eventually execute a ground-up renovation with sympathy to rich history.
With an alluring façade's ornamentation cause for instant intrigue, preserved period details offer the perfect foundation for a future refresh, while three large bedrooms, a tidy central bathroom, combined living/meals area, and storage-rich kitchen promise immediate comfort. Making the most of rear lane frontage, a sizeable, north-facing yard provides ample room to entertain guests and park two cars off-street, while other highlights include ducted heating, a full-size laundry, and old-world features in soaring, ornate ceilings, Baltic pine floors, a corbel-arched hallway, sash windows, a fireplace and chimney, and intricate skirts, cornices, and architraves.
A charismatic home of particular significance as part of the historic 'Ascot Vale Estate', 'Kingstone' sits just steps from city-bound trains and trams, Ascot Vale Primary (zoned), and the first-rate coffee, diverse cuisine, and shopping options scattered across Puckle Street, Union Road, and Mt Alexander Road, with elite private schools, the Maribyrnong River, Highpoint Shopping Centre, lively Newmarket, and CityLink all nearby.
