Firstly, wide and easy laneway access; and secondly, that access opens to a big backyard rarely offered with this style of property.
This creates potential for a large garage-studio complex – new owners will be limited only by their imaginations.
The backyard also presents opportunities to extend whilst still enjoying a lovely space where old and established trees cast soothing shade.
On approach, the kerbside appeal is fetching and the facade is pretty as a picture.
The white weatherboards have been restored and plantation shutters in the sash windows add to the street appeal.
A contemporary picket fence teams with a small and sweet front garden.
Within, there are three large and carpeted bedrooms with built-in robes.
One of the front bedrooms has an original wrought iron fireplace with timber surround. Hardwood floors and white walls in the hall open to a comfortable lounge room with a wall-set contemporary gas fireplace with mantle.
The kitchen has been completely re-modelled with stone benches, stainless-steel appliances and feature splashback tiling.
The separate laundry has an exposed timber benchtop set above fantastic storage, including a pull-out laundry hamper.
The main bathroom has also been renovated.
Out the back, find a deep undercover back porch with merbau decking, lighting, heating and TV power.
All of this looks out to that fantastic backyard.
Walk to Maribyrnong River and Yarraville Garden’s food trucks and zip down Footscray or Dynon roads for easy access to the CBD.
This gorgeous property combines the grace of an old Yarraville neighbourhood with all the advantages of Melbourne’s best inner-city living.
