A property of undeniable character in a history laden Essendon enclave, this beautiful Interwar Bungalow, built in the 1920s and owned by the same family since 1962, has been cherished by generations.
Testament to the architecture of the era, concrete stucco walls and solid flooring were designed to last the distance, providing a durable foundation for a contemporary renovation, while the second street frontage on Miller Street will appeal to potential developers.
Double door entry, beyond the walled front garden and covered portico, opens into a plush carpeted central hallway flanked by two large and light-filled bedrooms with triple casement windows, bathroom (shower over tub), small study, and third bedroom.
A large lounge room with triple panel glazing overlooking a sideway fernery, adjoins a tiled dining area and kitchen with rear garden outlook. Step down to a further living area accessing the timber staircase to a teen-friendly attic bedroom/rumpus.
An additional shower, powder and laundry complete the interior, while outside, a double garage and workshop, lovely lawned area and established plantings create plenty of secure play area for young children and pets.
Highlights include soaring ceilings adorned with decorative cornices and rosettes, original hallway arch, beautiful period light fittings and, in a nod to more modern comforts, ducted heating.
With trains, trams and green space, Rose Street and Napier Street’s array of shops and cafes, plus a range of prestige schools, all close to hand, you’ll have the luck of the Irish living on leafy Shamrock Street!
