On a wonderfully deep block in the very heart of Ascot Vale, this freestanding Victorian sets itself apart with its expanded two-level floorplan, long list of features and delightful gardens all-round. Beyond its gorgeous facade, the home’s inviting interior comprises three bedrooms (large upstairs master with WIR), period-inspired ensuite and main central bathroom – both with clawfoot baths. Flexible living spaces include an upstairs lounge/retreat out to undercover balcony, central sitting room (or library/study) and adjoining dining area, open family/meals area enhanced by a timber-cabinet kitchen with granite benchtops and Bosch/Ariston/Ilve appliances. Other highlights include split-system heating and cooling (four units), additional gas fireplace, high ornate ceilings and solid hardwood floors, solar power, European laundry, plus a fabulous north-facing backyard with decking & immaculate lawn area. Garage at back of property with walking distance to Union Road cafes and city-bound trams, it’s close to local schools and Ascot Vale Station, easy access to river parks and trails, Showgrounds Village and Highpoint shopping centres.
