Simplicity and elegance are the hallmarks of this fully refurbished Victorian house in the heart of Seddon.
From entry into a short hallway, polished timber floorboards run throughout the house.
Three naturally lit bedrooms are situated towards the front, with the main immediately to the left of entry.
This generously sized room includes a cast-iron fireplace surrounded by a timber mantle.
The neutral cream and white palette runs throughout, with charcoal and green accents.
Stepped cornices, wide skirts and the mantles add touches of timeless character.
Across the hall is a second large bedroom with the flexibility to be used as a study if desired.
Farther down the hall is the spacious, light-filled family room where another door leads to the third bedroom. Both are heated by a gas fireplace in the family room – great for those chilly Melbourne winters.
The renovated modern kitchen has stone benchtops and ample storage in laminate cabinetry complemented by stainless-steel appliances including dishwasher, oven, gas cook-top and rangehood.
Plenty of sun streams through the north-facing meals area, which opens through double doors to a small concrete meals area overlooking a lush rear
garden.
The family-meals area has a split-system and is serviced by the main bathroom, which has a shower-bath combination and includes the European laundry. Other creature comforts include airconditioning, ducted heating throughout, a security alarm and off-street parking.
This stunning property is just a short stroll from Seddon Village, VUT Footscray campus and the Middle Footscray railway
station.
It provides a low-maintenance corner allotment with dual street frontage to Walter and Arran streets.
