One of Essendon’s most prominent residential landmarks, this magnificent 1880s Victorian masterpiece on 670sqm of land (approx) has been extended and renovated to absolute perfection – all delivering a family lifestyle of unrivalled luxury and versatility complemented by fabulous entertaining spaces and spectacular city views. Landscaped gardens and an imposing facade make way for a grand interior showcasing four bedrooms (extra-large downstairs master with fully-fitted dressing room) complemented by a deluxe marble ensuite, main bathroom with freestanding tub and two separate powder rooms – one on each level. A dedicated study/office enhances the home’s family credentials, along with an elegant front lounge and vast open-plan living/dining area to the rear serviced by a thoughtfully-designed kitchen complete with custom joinery, 1200mm Ilve oven and butler’s pantry with Asko dishwasher and second sink. Towering ceilings, solid hardwood floors, hydronic heating and double-glazed windows (extension) all add to the allure, along with a large laundry, excellent storage options and comprehensive security.

Double doors reveal an alfresco area with BBQ kitchen, wood-fired oven and outdoor fireplace perfect for all-seasons entertaining, as well as a private backyard oasis with fully-tiled heated pool, plus the added advantage of an internally-accessed four-car garage via the gated side driveway (both remote-controlled). The area’s key lifestyle attractions are all close by including local cafes, shopping precincts and choice of bus routes, it also offers easy access to a range of schools (St Therese’s PS around the corner), kinder/childcare facilities, Mt Alexander Road trams and the convenience of Essendon Station.
