2 Francis Street, Belmont, Vic 3216

Situated in the quiet vicinity overlooking Belmont Common, is this superb and faithful restoration of Federation heritage. Behind the picket fence and rose lined walkway, is the bull nosed verandah where you immediately feel the warmth emanating from this beautiful 3 bedroom home.

The overarched hallway leads to the front sitting room with its open fire retained for authenticity; the main bedroom overlooks the English garden with a superb ensuite and walk-in robe. Further along are another 2 bedrooms, a central modern bathroom with an enormous laundry, abundant storage and a purpose built sewing room.

The large living zone with central heating, is resplendent in ceiling rosettes and period architraves to match the colour palette and is surrounded by French windows, the formal dining room is served by a colonial timber and antique tiled kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Around the corner is a voluminous office that looks out over a private and brick paved garden complete with a variety of palms and grasses.

Through double leadlight doors is a full width verandah from where you take in the secure, salt filtered pool and terraced garden that rises to another level behind lattice work that conceal 2 garden sheds set well to the back of this deep allotment; a carport stands off to one side at the end of the drive.

This home is not only historically significant; it is a true example of quality restoration in every detail.
