2/56 Brewster Street, Essendon, Vic 3040

The view from the street gives little hint of the splendid sanctuary within: this grand three/four bedroom Edwardian marvellously unites exquisite period features with modern enhancements. Providing a brilliant balance of peace and convenience and zoned for Strathmore College, the home presents a lounge, formal dining/fourth bedroom, sunny family/meals, modern kitchen, enticing northerly courtyard and serene garden, featuring a lush lawn, fountain, paved entertaining area and spa gazebo. Soaring ceilings with intricate rosettes and exceptional cornices unite with decorative fireplaces and extensive leadlight in demonstrating the home's period splendour. Contemporary updates include a full selection of stainless steel kitchen appliances and cool glass splashbacks, and the handsomely renovated main bathroom showcases a frameless shower and chic bath. There is excellent storage throughout, and further features encompass a gleaming second bathroom, Baltic pine floorboards, solar electricity, ducted and panel heating, alarm, rainwater tanks and large carport with individual entrance. Stroll to trains, trams, buses, parks, cafes and shops. Excellent schools are nearby.
