In 1956 Melbourne hosted the Olympic Games and 5 Hope Street Bunyip was first across the line. Later in life this classic weatherboard charmer had a whole new lease on life with a total renovation and extension. Totally sympathetic to the era the result would not look out of place in Fitzroy North or Edithvale. but on a massive 847m2 allotment. With high ceilings, polished hardwood flooring, ornamental cornices and double sash windows the original elements have been fully respected and then the embellishments were added. A Chef’s own kitchen with stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances, myriad cupboards plus Butler’s pantry; a fabulous informal living/dining area accessing to an enviable outdoor living area from double sliding doors. Entertain five of fifty guests with room to spare or just stay at home to BBQ and chill.
There are four bedrooms (or three and home office/nursery), the main bedroom complete with walk through wardrobe and a sparkling ensuite bathroom. This truly is living the dream! A second living area offers privacy and quiet space, while the family bathroom and cleverly designed laundry all with the luxury of gas fired ducted heating and even a split air-conditioner seals the deal. Then we go outside. This is a BIG block. A 40′ X 20′ concrete floored/powered, half lock up, half carport offers four car accommodation and workshop space yet nestles easily on the property, with another skelp of area available for parking toys, boats or trailers. Bonus!
An expanse of lawn, carefully tendered gardens and specimen shade trees all planted to the time are literally the maraschino cherry on the icing of this lovingly presented home. With all services available and connected, and a totally appealing ambience this is one property you will definitely not want to leave!
Walk out for coffee, shopping and services, sporting facilities, public transport (V-Line) and park. Living at 5 Hope Street is a breeze!
