Lure of the old-world charm

Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac just a stone’s throw from Yarraville Village is this deceptively large single-fronted period home.

A wide entrance hall provides access to two double bedrooms with high ceilings and decorative cornices. They share a bathroom with claw-foot bath, pedestal basin and laundry facilities.

A spacious open-plan hub incorporates a kitchen with polished floorboards, and ample bench space and overhead cupboards. The adjoining living and dining rooms are carpeted and introduced by an elegant archway.

A low-maintenance north-facing paved courtyard adds to the appeal, as does the high-pitched roof.

Extras include ceiling rosettes, an original leadlight window and ducted heating. The house is in walking distance of Sun Theatre, railway station and recreational reserves.
