A rare opportunity to own this ornate Victorian home (c.1914) combining classic period splendour with spacious open plan modern living and two off street carparks. Located in the heart of Essendon, this home has the tram and bus at its doorstep, and the convenience of short walk to the train, parkland, the Essendon café district, and public and private schools.

This beautifully appointed home features:

• a double glazed leadlight entrance with Tiffany-style light fittings
• velvet drapes with swags and tails/pelmets
• double-arched hallway
• two fireplaces
• zoned ducted heating
• split system air conditioning
• spotted gum floors.

The three living areas include a formal period style lounge with a fireplace, a retreat/study and an expansive dining and family area with French doors opening to a north-facing courtyard, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The timber kitchen features stainless steel appliances and Caesar stone bench tops. The home includes three double bedrooms – a master bedroom with fireplace, WIR and ensuite, and second and third bedrooms with WiR/BIR and an adjoining bathroom. The home is complimented by a powder room and well-appointed laundry with external access. This home is a beautiful example of the Victorian era overlooking the avenue of Canary Island date palms that have formed part of the Essendon landscape since the 1920s.
