A leafy Kingsville streetscape sets the scene for this double fronted Edwardian which offers a beguiling combination of period beauty, classically comfortable present day spaces and the scope to renovate and extend, STCA, on an attractive allotment with rear right-of-way.
Behind a facade which upholds period tradtions and makes a significant contribution to the integrity of the streetscape, a wide central hall leads to 2 principal bedrooms featuring lead-light windows and classical ceilings, and a 3rd double bedroom which enjoys the advantage of northern light. The living/dining room's inviting character is complemented by an open fire place and its own ornate ceiling while to the rear, a separate kitchen's original cabinetry conveys retro appeal, a theme maintained by a cast iron stove which has been retained in addition to an efficient modern counterpart. An entirely serviceable bathroom ensures immediate livability while ideas for adding contemporary elements to this classical home are considered. The north easterly rear garden's appealing proportions and wide laneway access enhance concepts for extending/expanding, adding off street parking, STCA, and making the utmost of an exceptional address that remains beautifully quiet yet is totally convenient.
