16 Jeffreys Street, Woodend, Vic 3442

Steeped in Woodend’s history, this three bedroom timber and brick house sits on a fabulous 1205m2 corner block, with 30m wide frontage, only a stone’s throw from the centre of town.

Constructed by a local police officer in 1926, the house has undergone sensitive renovations that have maintained its character whilst making it into a very comfortable family home.

In classic bungalow style, twin glass doors open onto a wide hallway where polished floorboards, picture rails and decorative plasterwork are reminders of its 1920s origins.

The master and second bedrooms are big and bright, with strapped ceilings and picture rails. Original double hung windows look out onto the wonderful front garden. Wall mounted panel heaters and ceiling fans have been fitted in both bedrooms. The third bedroom having a terrific box window seat with lovely north aspect.

Recently updated, the kitchen has a premium double stainless cooker and modern glossy splashbacks. White painted cupboards provide a fresh contrast against the rich dark timber of the floors. The original fireplace has been converted into a quaint pantry, complete with mantel.

The adjacent meals area has a modern wood heater built into an existing fireplace, and across the rear of the house, a huge living room gives the family space to stretch out. Pretty French doors open onto a terrace paved in reclaimed red bricks, and large areas of sunny lawn and a lush mature garden wait beyond. There is double garage, (6.3m x 8.6m) with power.

It would be difficult to fault the location of this beautiful property – in a quiet no-through road, surrounded by parkland and walking trails – this house is so close to the cafes, schools and railway station.

For those seeking a beautiful period home, with space and proximity to facilities and conveniences, it is a compelling proposition.
