26A Fawkner Street, Aberfeldie, Vic 3040

One of Aberfeldie's renowned State Bank houses, this impeccably presented, c.1946 residence brims with Art Deco dazzle – and potential! Offered for the first time in 20 years, it's a premium address metres from Aberfeldie and Our Lady of the Nativity primary schools, Ave Maria College and Buckley Street's bustling cafes and supermarket. The single level house has spacious living and dining rooms linked by spectacular glass and timber doors, a central hall and a contemporary kitchen and meals area with Chef and Westinghouse appliances. Two large original bedrooms (BIRs) are complemented by a modern third bedroom (BIR), updated bathroom with separate toilet and a laundry with external access. Stroll out to the brick patio tufted with rosemary, a sweet spot for afternoon tea. The gated driveway has off street parking, including a pergola carport. Polished timber details, ornate ceilings and double hung sash windows give this Aberfeldie classic an air of distinction. Rewired, recapped and with gas ducted heating and evaporative cooling, it's shipshape for family life.

This former home of Fitzroy Football Club captain Charlie Chapman is just a few kicks from Clifton and Aberfeldie parks. Take a (drop) punt and inspect a rare beauty with scope for extension (STCA).
