In the heart of leafy Essendon, this '80s classic with expansive land holding (815sqm approx.) offers a unique array of possibilities to move in and enjoy, renovate over time, or build a dream home (STCA) on one of the area's most beloved streets. Thriving foliage frames a facade that's both understated and inviting, with a function-minded plan sprawling over an exceptionally deep parcel. With its own revamped ensuite and walk-in robe, a large master is complemented by a modern main bathroom with bath and three extra, robe-lined bedrooms, while a light-filled office deftly doubles as a nursery or fifth bedroom. A tranquil front lounge is sublime for nights by the fire, while a broad dining area spills into a central courtyard brilliant for entertaining among greenery.

Flanked by sizeable family and meals zones, a wrap-around kitchen proves perfect for the enthusiastic cook, with granite benches joined by extensive cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and Miele oven, gas stove, and dishwasher. An enclosed sunroom is superb for soaking in winter rays, while a substantial backyard provides kids with abundant room to play while parents entertain.
