A '30s charmer-turned lifestyle haven like nothing Essendon has seen before, this completely bespoke, architect's-own residence offers a masterclass in functional luxe, just as ideal for families as it is professionals and downsizers.
Beyond an ivy-infused façade where inter-war charm shines through, inviting interiors showcase a truly inspired, ground-up revamp, with every addition imagined, implemented, and executed with the utmost care for real-world liveability. A metal-frame archway reveals a magnificent living/dining suite where a vaulted ceiling rises to a 4m-high Velux sky hatch, joining full-height sliding glass, shadowline skirting, black accents, and striking stone surfaces in creating an ambiance of airiness, refinement, and distinction. A gourmet kitchen's walk-in pantry, Fisher & Paykel appliances, and boiling/chilled/sparkling Zip Tap are standouts for the passionate cook, while, in a north-facing yard kept private by Weeping Lilly Pilly hedges, a gas-plumbed barbecue and built-in pizza oven prove brilliant for entertaining.
All with masses of custom joinery, three substantial bedrooms are joined by a skylit central bathroom, chic master ensuite, and extra powder room with a terrazzo-slab feature wall, while, distinct from the main home, an easily re-converted garage is the perfect two-user office and complement to two driveway spaces. Other highlights span swathes of Super Grey Dolomite from Signorino, Sussex and Phoenix tapware, Zetr switches and flush outlets, polished-concrete floors, abundant storage, a dog washing station, alarm, video intercom, comprehensive heating/cooling, garden irrigation, and ornate details accentuating period appeal.
Literally seconds to Buckley Park for the best kids' backyard imaginable, it's only footsteps to vibrant North Essendon Village, zoned Essendon North Primary and Buckley Park College, and Keilor Road's shopping, dining, and city-bound trams, while near trains and freeways for easy commuting, revered private schools, and the idyllic Maribyrnong River.
