Steps from Woodlands Park and the vibrant North Essendon Village, this tastefully transformed c1920 showpiece delivers family-focused luxury and expanse with enduring old-world character.

Beyond a charismatic façade with leadlight windows and a broad verandah, towering ceilings enhance an endearing entry, with a bright and spacious interior flowing effortlessly from front to back. Cleverly configured, five substantial bedrooms and a dedicated home office span two light-filled levels, with alternate up and down masters providing smart versatility. Featuring a spa bath, dual shower, and brass accents, a recently refreshed lower bathroom complements a stylish upper bathroom, with a sizeable upstairs retreat adjoining a wide balcony with stunning sunset vistas. Catering to an open family area and expansive formal dining, a stone-top kitchen boasts a 900mm stainless Westinghouse cooker, LG dishwasher, island, and ornamental fireplace, with an outdoor BBQ area accentuating the home's entertainment credentials. Awash with afternoon sun, a vast backyard offers welcomed privacy and plentiful space for energetic kids, meeting the home's centrepiece solar & gas-heated pool.

With abundant storage throughout, further highlights include refrigerated & split system cooling, ducted heating, robes to each bedroom, Baltic pine floors, 5KW solar energy system, NBN connectivity, a full-size laundry, pool shed, and off-street parking. Nestled in one of Essendon's most picturesque pockets, it's moments from the area's elite schools (zoned to St Therese's Primary and Strathmore Secondary College), while an easy walk to flourishing cafés, restaurants, and shops, CBD-bound trains & trams, and acres of peaceful parklands.
