An exemplar for considered renovation, this painstakingly remodelled, single fronted cottage, cohesively integrates period design with modern amenity. The extended floorplan features an array of original elements, including beautifully burnished Baltic pine flooring sourced to complement the existing floors, cast iron fireplaces and stained-glass door panels. A charming front garden and iron latticed verandah prefaces the extended entry hallway, with three bedrooms, two with fireplaces, one with built-in student desk (or vanity), main providing WIR and ensuite (shower). A study with built-in desk and room for extra workstations, provides an excellent WFH option, while the central bathroom with its claw-footed bathtub and large frameless walk-in shower also contains a practical euro laundry area. Seamlessly flowing into the elegantly appointed and light-filled extended living zone, open plan dining adjoins an attractive heritage style kitchen containing recessed stainless-steel oven and electric cooktop, stone topped island/breakfast bar and good storage. The large living area, with gas log fireplace and bespoke joinery, accesses an elevated alfresco entertainment deck. And climate control is taken care of with multiple split system units. Step down to a low-maintenance rear lawn area, a fully fenced spot perfect for small children and pets. A pretty garden archway leads to the double garage/workshop (plus bonus woodfire heater) with entry off the ROW rear laneway. This is a stellar spot, super close to Moonee Ponds West Primary School, riverside trails and parkland, Puckle Street & Union Road retail/café/dining precincts, trams, train station, and a handy corner café for a Panini and Cappuccino fix!
