A Home Your Family Can Grow Into

This Edwardian on approximately 417 square metres retains the details that give it character, including ornate ceilings and timber floorboards, paired with a floorplan that suits modern family life.

The main bedroom opens off the entry with a bay window and good proportions. Two further bedrooms continue down the hall, each with enough space for a double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers without feeling cramped. The living room has an original fireplace and air conditioning, flowing through to a separate dining room with its own split-system, creating a hub for family meals, homework at the table or weekend catch-ups. The timber kitchen is efficiently laid out with a wall oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher and breakfast bar. At the rear, a separate study adds valuable work-from-home space, with the main bathroom and full laundry positioned nearby.

Out back, the north-facing garden catches all-day sunshine. Picture Saturday lunch under the covered pergola, kids running across the lawn, or summer evenings on the paved patio with a drink in hand and nothing pressing to do. There are also a cellar and double garage, additions not often found in homes of this era.

Walk to local schools, Preston Market and Preston Station, with trams along Plenty Road and High Street close by. High Street cafés and shops, including the popular Chapter 35, sit within easy reach, along with Northland Shopping Centre, multiple bus routes and bike paths leading toward Merri Creek and the CBD.
A residence that works well now, with room to improve over time, in a pocket where everything’s close.
