Imagine a brand-new home, painstakingly rebuilt from the skeleton of a late Federation (circa 1924) Whisky Hill original, where all the hard work has been completed but the interior is effectively a blank canvas.
Carpets? Yes? No? Your choice. Are we thinking plantation shutters or roman blinds? Pantone inspired paint colours or wallpaper. It’s the residential equivalent of a blank colouring book; a choose your own aesthetic adventure, if you will.
Here's what we have so far – a bull-nosed verandah threshold leads us into the central hallway, to the left, the main bedroom with WIR and ensuite (shower), to the right, another spacious bedroom with a wall of BIR’s. A third bedroom or study, laundry, toilet, and family bathroom containing soaker tub and shower take us to the end of the hall, which can be closed off from the living room.
An expansive, sun-soaked living and dining zone is helmed by the stone topped kitchen featuring double door fridge cavity, stainless steel oven, gas cooktop and generous storage cabinetry. Storage is excellent throughout – from the hallway coat cupboard/mudroom to the built-in entertainment and display credenza in the living room, considered convenience has been at the forefront of this project.
Victorian Ash secret nailed hardwood flooring will look amazing when you choose your matte, satin, semi-gloss or high-gloss finish, as will the outdoor rear deck - an alfresco entertaining spot-in-waiting. Finally, ceiling fans, ducted heating and split system air-conditioning are all good to go. There’s single carport parking plus a plethora of off-street tandem spaces, and enough virgin garden area to make the most ardent Bangay wannabe weep for joy.
Now, given the block size is 613sqm (approx.) you may be wondering what occupies the rest of the lot. Behind secure side gate fencing lies a tradesperson’s dream. A massive 12x10sqm (approx.) warehouse sized shed with Vierendeel roof trussing, roller door and rear laneway ROW pedestrian access. We don’t need to list the people this will suit, you know who you are.
Oh yes, and the location is primo. Super close to Union Road cafés and shops, Flemington Racecourse, The Showgrounds, Maribyrnong River trails, trams, buses, and it’s just minutes from Highpoint Shopping Centre.
