First time available in 33 years in this tightly held location, this beautiful c1930 Bank Home fronts the leafy expanses of Garden City Reserve, with parkland views and the CBD lights beyond, and enjoys an idyllic setting in one of Port Melbourne's most treasured pockets. Its expansive, sun-drenched interiors span two levels, with multiple living areas and mature gardens that create an exceptional family environment, just a short walk from the beach, local schools, Bay Street, and city-bound light rail.
Traditional period detail and original fireplaces distinguish the formal sitting and dining rooms, separated by double timber doors, whilst northern light fills the casual rear living and dining areas. A solid hardwood kitchen with a walk-in pantry and freestanding gas stove accompanies the informal meals domain, opening through French doors to an undercover entertaining deck and private gardens with established fruit trees. Northern skyline views extend from the upper-level main bedroom, which comprises an en-suite and west-facing balcony, while a second bedroom and skylit family bathroom with a bath cater to growing families. With uninterrupted outlooks across Garden City Reserve, the substantial third bedroom features an ornate fireplace and built-in robes, plus the scale and potential to divide into two separate bedrooms and add a fourth without extending the existing footprint.
Beautifully presented with new carpets, hydronic heating, understairs storage and an exterior shed, this inviting residence also includes a ground-floor bathroom, European laundry, rear gated access to Crichton Avenue, and secure off-street parking. Zoned for Port Melbourne Primary School and Port Melbourne Secondary College, it offers immediate access to the park and playground, with Bay Street's cafés, the beachfront, and transport all within easy walking distance.
