This elegant, fully renovated Edwardian home has been thoughtfully modernised throughout, creating a gracious family home, offering unequalled convenience in a desirable position.
The white façade, with wide veranda and timber fretwork, introduces the classic style of the home, with a manicured front garden to match. Inside, the central hallway with its high ceilings, timber flooring and additional fretwork showcases features of the era. The spacious master suite retains its own heritage details with a fireplace and ceiling rose, and its clever design sees a large walk-in-robe connected to a light-filled ensuite with a double marble-topped vanity and generous separate shower. Two further bedrooms sit opposite, each with built-in-robes and original fireplaces. They share a family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower. Adding convenience, a beautifully proportioned laundry accommodates daily tasks while extensive built in storage ensures a place for everything.
Situated at the centre of the home, the second living area is a peaceful retreat away from the action, and with double doors could easily be used as a 4th bedroom, should the need arise. At the rear of the home, a spacious open plan living area overlooks the verdant garden, with a generous lounge surrounding a gas fireplace and a spacious dining area which easily accommodates a crowd.
The gourmet kitchen complete with quality appliances and features such as an Ascot double oven, gas cooktop, a Miele dishwasher, a Lux ducted vacuum system, marble stone benchtops and generous island bench is a truly a chef's delight and entertainer's paradise.
The kitchen is further complemented by a fitted butler's pantry, complete with a Miele steam oven. Adding additional appeal, a home office/study with double doors adds flexibility for seamless family living.
Moving outside, an undercover entertaining area creates a comfortable outdoor room, while the private, low maintenance garden with established trees provides space to relax or play. A single car garage, with substantial storage, connects to the rear street, providing a second entrance to the property, with easy access to Allison Park and the wider neighbourhood.
Modern features enhance convenience, including an app-based intercom, high quality back to base security system and external cameras. Zoned ducted heating and cooling throughout creates year-round comfort. The already impressive amount of storage is extended by an extensive attic with a pull-down ladder in the 3rd bedroom. Furthermore, the location of this home adds instant appeal. An easy 7-minute walk to both train and tram, and within the Essendon Primary School zone and close to many top local schools, not to mention shops and cafes on Rose St and Mt Alexander Road, the location of this property is second to none. Combining timeless charm, thoughtful design, and modern convenience, this beautifully renovated home delivers perfect family accommodation in one of Essendon's most coveted pockets.
