Superbly positioned in a highly sought-after lifestyle location, this freestanding three-bedroom Victorian home on 299sqm (approx.) comes with an approved town planning permit, allowing for an architecturally designed renovation and extension that seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary luxury. Boasting a broader-than-usual frontage, a generous backyard, and off-street parking for two cars, this is a ready-to-go opportunity in one of Essendon's most tightly held pockets.
Retaining its soaring ceilings, intricate rosettes, corbelled arch, deep cornicing, and Baltic pine floorboards, the approved plans incorporate a stunning open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area flooded with natural light, enhanced by expansive glazing that connects seamlessly to an alfresco entertaining space and private landscaped garden. The design also includes a luxurious master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, a second living area, a dedicated home office, and a beautifully appointed family bathroom.
Currently, the home offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, a spacious living room, a sunroom/casual living zone opening to a covered paved area and private garden, a kitchen/meals area with a gas stove, a classic bathroom, and a laundry. Also including ducted heating, built-in robes, and a garden shed, while off-street parking for two vehicles via a side driveway and carport is a rare advantage in this prime location.
Just a short stroll from Rose Street Village's vibrant cafés and boutique shops, and within walking distance of St Columba's College, Lowther Hall, PEGS, and Essendon Station, this is an exceptional opportunity to secure a character-filled home with an approved vision for modern luxury in a blue-chip location.
