ESSENDON

THE DEAL

Positioned for experiencing Essendon’s leafy calm, community atmosphere, and café culture, this freestanding gem pairs classic with cutting-edge to deliver easy-living luxury on one of the suburb’s most beloved family streets.

As picture-perfect as the day it was built, a tuckpointed façade reveals interiors brimming with period elegance and contemporary flair. Two separate living areas ensure flexibility, with a central study/sitting room the ideal complement to a magnificent main section where lounge, dining, and alfresco spaces merge for effortless entertaining and stone surfaces, a 900mm cooker, dishwasher, and pull-out island table all enhance a gourmet kitchen. Served by excellent storage and a lavish bathroom with a soaker bath, two lower bedrooms give the option to live on a single level, while above, a first-class master boasts a full-size dressing room and ensuite with dual basins, a double shower, and splashes of black to further a chic, modern aesthetic.

A rarity in its prestige position with secure parking for two via Glen Street, other standouts include reverse-cycle heating/cooling, plenty of storage and attic space, timber shutters and engineered timber floors, a gas fireplace and plumbed barbecue, backyard shed, European laundry, keypad entry, and details in fretwork, leadlight windows, and soaring, ornate ceilings to accentuate heritage appeal.

Unbeatable in its access to amenities, Glenbervie Station, the 59 Tram, and CityLink streamline CBD commutes, while the culinary and shopping scenes of North Essendon Village and Rose, Napier, and Fletcher Streets, peaceful Allison Park and Salmon Reserve, and Windy Hill are all within metres. The Maribyrnong River is sublime for an afternoon among nature, while elite schooling in Lowther Hall, PEGS, St Bernard’s, St Columba’s, and Ave Maria is only moments away.

SEALS THE DEAL

An expansive roof terrace is one of very few to grace the Essendon landscape, perfect for socialising into the night, taking in spectacular sunsets.
