A striking example of Windy Hill's renowned heritage architecture, this iconic residence on a 920sqm (approx.) corner block presents a rare opportunity to restore, renovate, and create one of Essendon's most impressive homes.
Offering leafy serenity in a prized inner-suburban setting, the home's character-rich façade gives way to grand interiors featuring high ornate ceilings, leadlight windows, original fireplaces, and classical detailing. The flexible layout includes four bedrooms, a study/fifth bedroom, two bathrooms, and multiple living areas, with a separately metered bungalow ideal for guests or extended family.
A spacious kitchen/meals area flows to a large backyard perfect for entertaining, while other highlights include two gas space heaters, a full-size laundry, oversized double garage, extra driveway parking (via Hoddle Street), a covered outdoor retreat, gazebo with spa, and a large wine cellar.
Zoned for Essendon Primary and Strathmore Secondary College and close to elite private schools, this location is just moments from Rose, Napier, and Fletcher Street shopping and dining, Windy Hill Oval and Fitness Centre, Glenbervie and Essendon Stations, the 59 tram, CityLink, and Puckle Street. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity in one of Melbourne's most tightly held precincts.
