6 Furness Street, Blackburn, Vic 3130

The 1920s were a wonderful time for living, particularly amongst the orchards near the train station in relaxed Blackburn. If you were able to engage the remarkable Algernon Elmore to design your home, select its timbers, manufacture it in his own premises and engage his skilful builders to construct the property, you were exceptionally privileged. Number 6 Furness Street is an outstanding example of his achievements in style and character, and stands today as though newly built.

In a no-through-road an easy stroll from Blackburn Shopping Centre and train station, the home takes advantage of the width of its large garden block with mature trees and shrubs preserving your privacy in the Historic area adjoining the Blackburn Creeklands Reserve. It offers green outlooks from every window and shade from wide northern verandas.

The rooms feature skilfully selected timber finishes and leadlight glass. They include a large hall off the front porch, a splendid living-dining room, plus a living room with a built-in sideboard, generous inglenook fireplace and French doors to the long verandah, adjoining kitchen-meals area with timber benches and cupboards and quality appliances. The main bedroom includes a bay window, walk-in robe and a semi-ensuite with a spa. There are 3 more bedrooms, a large air-conditioned study and an excellent 2nd bathroom with a separate toilet.

Offering a quality and style of living not available elsewhere, this incomparable 'Elmore' home is in its ideal environment and protected by heritage controls.
