A celebration of the area’s rich history, this freestanding Victorian is ripe for a renovation to pair classical character with modern comforts on one of Abbotsford’s finest streets. With its picket fence and single fronted stance radiating the charm of yesteryear, a modest interior sees two substantial bedrooms accompanied by an oversized bathroom with a bath/shower and open living/kitchen/meals space at rear. A wrap around backyard enjoys side gate access for streamlined entertaining, while Baltic pine floors, exposed brickwork, a corbel arched hallway, and ornate cornices, architraves, skirts, and soaring ceilings prove ideal foundations for a sympathetic revamp. Blending Yarra tranquillity with city fringe vibrancy in a position where a car is simply not needed, it’s mere footsteps to acres of parkland, the seemingly endless river trail, world class coffee, city trams, Collingwood Station, the Abbotsford Convent cultural precinct, and cuisine, shopping, and nightlife of Melbourne icons Johnston, Victoria, Smith, and Gertrude Streets.
