1 Cambridge Street, Armadale, Vic 3143

One of the 32 cottages that have made such an enduring contribution to the architectural culture of Armadale, this inviting example of the highly regarded, widely recognized c1888 design is complemented by the individuality of its corner allotment. Behind the pristine, preserved façade, a classical arched hall leads to double bedrooms that are complemented by a semi ensuite central bathroom kept bright by northern natural light. A sitting room featuring a superb original period fireplace and French doors to an effective paved light court precedes a living/dining where polished floorboards and a solid timber kitchen tell the stylish story of previous renovation. Beyond, reached through two further sets of French doors, a rear courtyard provides a private backdrop to a home enhanced by ducted heating, high ceilings and, significantly, the stature of the streetscape. Armadale Reserve, the station, trams and High Street are all easily accessed from this landmark address.
