41 Jeffrey Street, Leongatha, Vic 3953

One of Leongatha's well-known Jeffrey Street properties, 'Mortlake' was built in 1926 and is a good example of fine craftsmanship with all those extra details often found in homes of this period. However, today it does require some major repairs to bring it up to its former glory. Positioned on a 1,300 m2 allotment, the residence is surrounded by beautiful old trees. Ornamentals, shrubs, peppercorn tree and majestic oak provide shady canopies during warmer months, creating a restful outdoor atmosphere. The front entrance, with its white pillars and verandahs contribute to the homes stately appearance. A leadlight front door with side leadlight windows opens into a hallway with its polished floorboards, fretwork and timber balustrade stairwell leading up to a light and spacious attic room. This could be a 4th bedroom, playroom or large study. White cabinetry is a feature of the renovated kitchen, with its ample storage including a fantastic pull-out pantry and appliance cupboard. Adjacent is a north facing meals area/ sunroom, which opens out directly onto the huge covered entertaining deck, offering all year round alfresco dining. A formal lounge to the front of the home and another central sitting room/formal dining room provide choices and options for living space. A gas log fire in one and a solid fuel heating in the other create a cosy atmosphere to live in. High ceilings with ornate plasterwork and architraves continue here and throughout the 3 downstairs bedrooms. A leadlight feature window and door can even be found in one of the two toilets in the home! Located on a flat block and in close proximity to town, schools and medical centres, the floorplan of 'Mortlake' would suit a multitude of purchasers, including medical centre or work from home office situation.
