Set within the sought-after Flemington Hill pocket, this beautifully updated period home combines classic character with a fresh, practical interior and a wonderfully connected inner-city lifestyle.
Beyond its traditional facade, high ceilings, decorative cornices and an ornate hallway archway establish an immediate sense of character. Three carpeted bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, with the front bedroom further enhanced by a working fireplace that brings warmth and personality to the space.
A separate living room creates a dedicated retreat before flowing through to the renovated kitchen and meals area, where handleless cabinetry, streamlined finishes and gas cooking give the heart of the home a crisp contemporary feel.
Direct access from the kitchen/meals area extends the living outdoors to a private courtyard with space for relaxed entertaining and a dedicated garden area ideal for growing herbs and vegetables. Completing the practical picture is a dedicated external laundry, conveniently positioned alongside the courtyard. A rear gate then provides direct access to the street behind, adding another layer of everyday convenience.
The updated bathroom with toilet completes the interior, while the home's clever balance of original detail and modern upgrades makes it instantly appealing.
The location adds another compelling layer, with Newmarket Station and trams along Mt Alexander Road and Racecourse Road within easy walking distance for a quick run into the CBD.
Racecourse Road cafes, restaurants and shopping are close at hand, along with local parks, walking tracks, sporting grounds and Flemington Racecourse.
Flemington Primary School and Mount Alexander College are also within easy walking reach, while CityLink, Dynon Road and Ascot Vale Road provide straightforward driving connections across Melbourne.
