The house time forgot: 312 Geelong Road, West Footscray, 3012

This example of late Edwardian architecture has been left in original condition and will entice those looking for a period property with renovation potential.

With vision, this property will reap dividends.

It is located close to all there is to enjoy in the inner west, such as Seddon and Yarraville shopping precincts as well as close proximity to Footscray, its markets and entertainment, not to mention easy access to the city.

The classic facade evokes an era in which horse-and cart transport was still used around this area.

Original sash windows at the front are graced with leadlight work.

Enter to the inviting hall with timber wall panelling and decorative ceilings.

A craftsman-style internal door opens to the front lounge room with original ceiling detail, a bay window and wall-mounted gas heater.

The first of three similar large bedrooms is opposite, with a stylish light fitting, ornate ceiling work and sash widows to restore, enjoy and open on balmy nights.

The kitchen and meals area is at the rear of the property, as is the bathroom-cum-laundry.

The backyard is large-enough for an extension (STCA).

There is an external toilet.

Located close to Hansen Reserve, Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School, Kingsville Primary School and West Footscray station, here is your project found.

Owned by the same family for more than 70 years and set on about 369 square metres, this time capsule will capture hearts.
