Commandingly set back from a tree-lined streetscape, this impressive two-bedroom home on a substantial parcel (419sqm*) promises rare potential to break into coveted Essendon. Sitting in the most desirable of northwest school zones (Aberfeldie Primary and Buckley Park College), an inviting entry reveals a vast living, with north and west-facing windows showering the airy space in natural light. Its pine floors reminiscent of the area's period houses, a spacious master and generous guest bedroom are both equipped with built-in robes, while a tidy central bathroom boasts an individual shower and bath. Enlivened with room for further enhancements, a storage rich kitchen presents stainless steel appliances, while an adjoining, full-size laundry offers direct access to the lot's broad courtyard at rear. Its lockup garage accessible via a long side driveway, further features to the home include ducted heating, split-system cooling, and NBN availability. An expansive, low-maintenance prospect ideal for new families, downsizers, and investors, it's a short walk from world-class coffee in any number of popular cafés, along with supermarkets, elite private schools, and the blissful surrounds of the Maribyrnong River.
