On an exclusive Essendon street with broad nature strips, colourful foliage, and an array of architectural styles, this family-sized prize pairs the warmth and character of post-war origins with the turn-key comfort of a luxury revamp.
With its signature, arched portico and decorative brickwork as alluring today as they were upon construction, the home's enticing façade reveals an interior where finesse and function effortlessly entwine. Offering the option to live on a single storey, three large, ground-floor bedrooms are served by excellent robe space and a smart central bathroom, while above, a substantial kids' retreat flanks an oversized master with its own walk-in robe and tastefully revamped ensuite. Enlivened with an ornate ceiling and fireplace, a quiet, lower-level lounge complements the plan's brilliant point of focus, with family, dining, and vast, covered alfresco spaces combining to make indoor-outdoor entertaining a joy.
A sun-soaked yard highlights the block's impressive size, while other features include Smeg/Bosch appliances in the stone-top kitchen, comprehensive heating/cooling, a powder room, keypad entry, electric security shutters, an alarm, video intercom, back garage, and long driveway comfortably housing several cars. With Buckley Park ovals and College (zoned) at street's end, it's no more than moments to Buckley Street and Keilor Road lifestyle hubs, numerous transport options, the Maribyrnong River, and a selection of leading private schools.
