Owned by the same person since its purchase in the 1980’s, this heritage cottage, located on a coveted corner block, has been comprehensively reimagined into a home of refined elegance.
The considered renovation and extension, incorporating the original Baltic pine floors with Tassie Oak, along with high ornamental ceilings and hallway arches, delivers inviting living and entertaining areas that maximise natural light flow.
Displaying instant kerb appeal, with neat front garden and distinctive Victorian verandah, the property opens into a large adaptable entry, offering scope to convert into a bedroom, large home office or additional living zone.
Two spacious bedrooms, one providing period-style fireplace and double bank of BIR’s, one with deep WIR, and a third single bedroom, are serviced by two bathrooms, both with showers, one containing laundry facilities.
The formal lounge, enhanced by gas log fireplace surrounded by an ornate timber mantle, accesses a decked central void with full height glazing, ideal for potted plants or a sunny spot to enjoy your morning coffee.
Step down to a warmly welcoming kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances (oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher), abundance of storage cabinetry and plenty of bench space.
The adjoining dining/ living extends out to a covered BBQ deck, for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. A petite rear garden with small tool shed can also be accessed via single roller door entry off Ovens Street.
Bonus highlights include central heating/cooling, split system air-conditioning units, security alarm, west facing exterior sun blinds, Velux automated skylights and blinds.
The floor plan of this unique home is eminently suitable for further personalisation, with the capacity to reinstate door access off Ovens and repurpose the current entry space.
Tightly held for good reason, this prime, inner-city location is in a veritable hub of connectivity and lifestyle aspiration. Walk to trams, cafes, bars and fabulous restaurants, along with the buzzing Puckle Street retail precinct, Palace Cinema complex, and Moonee Ponds Train Station. Close to Queens Park, local schools and Citylink. Inspection is a must!
