Some homes tick the boxes. This Federation-style home brings its own checklist!
Making a striking first impression, the red-brick façade, classic gabled rooflines, crisp cream detailing and beautifully landscaped front gardens create an impressive street presence, blending timeless charm with a touch of grandeur.
Step inside through the beautiful timber front door, where a grand entrance, decorative archway detailing and polished timber floors immediately set the scene. High ceilings, ornate cornices and contemporary lighting blend timeless character with a fresh, sophisticated feel, creating a welcoming first impression that continues throughout.
At the heart of the home, the spectacular gourmet kitchen is ready to steal the show. Think premium stone benchtops and splashback, extensive white cabinetry, quality appliances, an oversized waterfall island and a breakfast bar made for everything from morning coffees to lively conversations over dinner. The walk-in pantry, complete with its own sink, keeps the essentials tucked away and the benchtops beautifully uncluttered, while the open-plan living and dining area flows effortlessly around the kitchen.
Open the expansive glass bifold doors and let the entertaining spill onto the covered balcony, where sweeping neighbourhood, treetop and city views provide the perfect backdrop for long lunches, sunset drinks and memorable gatherings.
The accommodation is equally impressive. Privately positioned at the front of the home, the main bedroom features a walk-in robe and stylish ensuite with a double vanity. Three additional bedrooms, each complete with their own walk-in robe, are serviced by a beautifully appointed central bathroom featuring a double vanity and spa bath, while a separate powder room adds everyday convenience.
And just when you think you have seen it all, head upstairs to discover an enormous additional retreat. Use it as a fifth bedroom, teenager’s hideaway, home office or an additional living zone where the kids can claim their own territory. Whatever your lifestyle calls for, this generous space gives you the freedom to make it your own.
A double lock-up garage with internal access provides secure everyday parking, but that is only the beginning of the story.
Now for the real showstopper — the ground floor! Forget the usual garage; this is on an entirely different scale. Measuring an extraordinary 11.1m x 14.8m, the second garage is accessed via its own separate driveway and offers an incredible amount of room for multiple vehicles, a trailer, bikes, tools, a hobby car and all those weekend projects that never quite fit anywhere else. There is also a dedicated workshop area with built-in cabinetry, a cellar and a rumpus room with space for a pool table, complemented by an additional powder room. Car enthusiast? Weekend mechanic? Pool-table champion? Collector of things that need a little extra room? You may have just found your happy place. With this much flexibility under one roof, the possibilities extend well beyond parking and storage!
Outside, a sparkling swimming pool and covered BBQ area create inviting spaces to unwind, entertain and make the most of Melbourne’s warmer months. The yard offers room to enjoy the outdoors, and better still, with direct access to the walking trail along the Maribyrnong River, heading out for a morning stroll or an evening wander couldn’t be easier. This is a home where staying in can feel like a holiday!
The location brings the lifestyle together beautifully. Set within the highly sought-after Avondale Heights river precinct, the home enjoys a convenient position close to local schools, shops and cafés, with public transport nearby, including bus route #406 and tram route #57. Canning Reserve and surrounding parks provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation, while Highpoint Shopping Centre is just a 10-minute drive away, offering an extensive choice of shopping, dining and entertainment. And with Melbourne CBD approximately 12 kilometres away, the city is within easy reach.
Combining timeless character, beautifully appointed interiors, generous bedroom accommodation and an extraordinary amount of bonus space, this is a residence that refuses to be ordinary. From the statement kitchen and upstairs retreat to the impressive second garage and versatile ground-floor entertaining zone, every level brings something different to the table.
Come for the style, stay for the space, and prepare to be surprised. This is more than a home — it is a whole lot of lifestyle under one roof!
