Deceptively large, this Victorian delight buttressed by similar period houses is the perfect entry into the emerging suburb of Spotswood.
And with a station across the road, and cafes and shops nearby on Hudsons Road, the location is ideal.
Manicured gardens of pink roses, lavender, shrubs, lawn, statement pots and pebbled and paved paths frame the white and black painted house with verandah and decking.
Thanks to an extensive renovation, natural light floods through the interior of this charming home. Period details of high ceilings, decorative cornices and rosettes blends well with modern touches including bamboo floorboards.
Two carpeted bedrooms off the long corridor have original fireplaces and mantels and built-in wardrobes.
An impressive main bedroom with feature wall and white timber venetians also has a fireplace with original brick chimney. This partially separates it from the walk-through wardrobe and spacious ensuite with double shower and stone-topped vanity.
Step up a level to the fourth bedroom with horizontal window and timber venetians.
A central bathroom has bath and shower, and there is a separate toilet. Laundry facilities are cleverly hidden behind bi-fold doors and a linen cupboard with sliding doors is an added convenience.
Veering to the left at the end of the hall is a contemporary living area. The kitchen has grey-toned custom-built cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher, 900mm cooktop and separate oven. A microwave nook, corner pantry, island bench/breakfast bar with stone bench tops, and metallic splashback add to the sleek design.
The dining area is to the back of the open-plan space, while the rest of the room is given over to the lounge room.
A fifth bedroom or study is tucked behind the dining area, adding to the flexibility the house’s floor plan affords.
An undercover decked entertainment area can be accessed near here or from french doors that open out from the lounge room.
The area has a gable roof and shutters for year-round comfort. The deck extends out to take advantage of the sun.
The huge back garden has established trees, a water feature, lawn, garden shed and paved areas. There is rear access from Edith Lane with provision for off-street parking.
