Winningly situated on a coveted 687sqm (approx.) corner lot, this extended family home tells the tale of two eras.
The front of the property is original Californian Bungalow - typical of the time with its wrap around verandah supported by squat masonry piers, stained glass feature windows, and high decorative ceilings. The simple layout features hallway entry flanked by the main bedroom (BIR’s) with semi-bay windows, spacious formal dining though to lounge, and second bedroom (BIR’s).
An expanded floor plan is pure mid-century with a bright, u-shaped kitchen (stove/gas cooktop, freestanding dishwasher), bathroom (separate shower and tub), large living room with additional sunny sitting area, laundry, toilet, and an expansive rear bedroom/study/craft room or rumpus.
Clearly loved by green thumbs, the back garden, accessed off Alma Street via side gate or garage driveway, displays an array of well-established plantings, including a delightful timber fernery, with extended covered patio and small paved terrace area. The double garage offers an adjoining tool shed/workshop.
While the carpets must go and the kitchen won’t pass muster for the committed home chef, this promising property has much to recommend a keen renovator. Located in a prestige pocket, moments to Aberfeldie Park, the Maribyrnong River, public transport options and excellent schools, this lifestyle opportunity to refresh, rebuild or develop (STCA) is simply too good to miss!
