Just fifty metres from Ferndale Park and Back Creek Reserve, this semi-detached, two bedroom federation/art deco house has charming period features both inside and out. Triple-peaked and tiled roof with clinker brick styling shows off this north-aspected home and creates the feel of a cottage retreat. Inside boasts newly polished floorboards and fresh paint on original stucco walls. These lovely original features continue in the wood architraves, picture rails and ceiling decals, all adding to the appeal of this vintage baby boomer home. Master bedroom includes built-in-robes and double factory window panes. The huge feature dining/living room with stunning dividing double doors is an icon of this building era. A renovated bathroom with full-size bath and cream tiling is followed by an original kitchen with matching tiled Aga oven space just waiting to catch up. Adjoining is the second bedroom; perfect as a child’s bedroom, guest room or study, and benefitting from overlooking the rear garden. On a gentle gradient, this huge back yard has been cleared with plenty of room for potential; beautiful established natives and pines remain to border either side. Just two kilometres from Camberwell Junction, this home is waiting for the retro-lover’s touch.
