A true classic with history dating back over a century, this early Bungalow (c. 1919) with rear frontage to Alma Street and its own double garage delivers bright, practical, and spacious luxury in Essendon’s most revered pocket.

Elevated from the street to leave a lasting impression, a timeless façade and curated gardens offer a charming precursor to family-friendly interiors beyond. With a box-bay window framing floral outlooks, a stellar front master enjoys a walk-in robe and tidy ensuite with a spa bath, complemented by two further bedrooms with robes and a central bathroom with a bath and separate WC. Easily converted to a fourth bedroom, a broad lounge flows through a dining room to a magnificent back section where a sequence of skylights, northern and western windows, and a soaring, vaulted ceiling foster space and airiness to truly set the home apart.

• Turnkey family home with rich heritage
• 3 bedrooms and a lounge (potential 4th bed)
• Meals, dining, and family areas for flexibility
• High-end kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and all-day sun

With timber benches, upscale appliances, and a wealth of storage enhancing a first-rate kitchen, a leafy backyard proves sublime for family barbecues and drinks on a summer’s evening, while other highlights include ducted heating and cooling, new carpets, a full-size laundry, front veranda for a coffee taking in sunrise colours, and details in ornate ceilings, sash and leadlight windows, and elaborate cornices, architraves, skirts, and fireplaces furthering period charm.

Only six doors from Clarinda Park to be perfect for kids, it’s no more than a short stroll through Moonee Valley’s most prestigious streets to Lowther Hall, PEGS, and St Columba’s, Rose Street cafés and boutiques, Essendon Station, tranquil Aberfeldie Park, and the always-picturesque Maribyrnong River.
