Set just moments from the ever-popular Windy Hill precinct, this Bricked over Edwardian was a former boarding house, presenting an outstanding opportunity to renovate, extend or start fresh with a brand-new home (STCA).
Offered to the market for the first time in decades, this solid and surprisingly spacious residence sits on a generous allotment of approximately 402sqm, offering a rare chance to secure a foothold in one of Essendon’s most sought-after pockets.
The existing home is perfectly functional while offering plenty of scope for transformation. The current floorplan comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a welcoming front lounge, retro-style kitchen and meals area, plus a rear sunroom that adds valuable additional living space.
Character features include high ceilings and Baltic pine floorboards, while a full internal laundry adds everyday practicality.
Outside, the sizeable backyard provides plenty of room to reimagine the property, while the front carport offers convenient off-street parking.
But ultimately, it’s the location that makes this property special.
Enjoy an easy stroll to the village atmosphere of Rose Street, Essendon Station and the No. 59 tram providing direct access to the CBD. North Essendon and Napier Street’s vibrant shops, cafés and restaurants are also close by, along with an abundance of parks, sporting fields and the Windy Hill Fitness Centre.
Families will appreciate the proximity to a selection of respected schools, including Essendon Primary School, St Therese’s Primary School and Buckley Park College.
Whether you choose to renovate, extend or detonate and rebuild (STCA), the opportunity is clear: secure a substantial allotment in an enviable location and create something truly special for the future.
