87 West Fyans Street, Newtown, Vic 3220

This character-filled double-fronted weatherboard Victorian c1900 has been stripped back to the frame and lovingly restored, renovated and extended. With its seamless blend of old and new, it now provides the perfect balance for executive living as well as growing family needs.

What makes this charming home stand out is the uncompromising commitment to quality that will appeal to the most discerning buyers. Re-stumped, re-wired, re-roofed and finished with a high level of craftsmanship, there is not a cent to spend. As proud buyers, you can simply turn the key and move in, making this slice of history your own.

The 404sqm approx. property is located just a stone's throw to the walking tracks of the Barwon, footsteps to the popular shops, restaurants and cafes of Pakington Street, and close to Newtown's best schools. Investors will note that this sought after location is perfectly positioned to capitalise on Council plans to revitalise the River precinct.

Graced with elegant street appeal, the picket-fenced 12m frontage is lined with standard roses offering a low maintenance cottage garden that leads onto a wrap-around verandah. The home retains many original period features including cast iron lacework, 10.5ft ceilings with ornate pressed metal detail, high gloss hallway dado, skirtings and architraves as well as stained glass doors and polished floorboards.

Step inside and you are greeted by two double bedrooms, both with bespoke BIRs and one featuring its original fireplace. A neutral palette gives the interiors a tailored finish suitable for any decor. The spacious master bedroom impresses with its ornate fireplace and pressed metal ceiling while BIRs and premium carpet add comfort. A luxury ensuite boasts a double shower and is finished with floor to ceiling European porcelain tile.

Similarly styled, the modern main bathroom has a deep bath, oversized shower and separate powder room toilet. A streamlined Euro laundry alcove has also been tucked neatly into the mix.

The fourth bedroom doubles as a second sitting room and is a cosy retreat with its original open fireplace. Opposite, take advantage of the study nook to keep everyday life running smoothly.

Continuing the single level floorplan under the same roofline is a light-filled extension ideal for family living and entertaining. A sleek gourmet kitchen complete with stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances and walk in pantry with abundant storage flows through to an open plan dining and living area. High ceilings of the original home have been preserved and the east-west windows offer cross-ventilation for passive cooling. Dual zone gas central heating is installed throughout.

Indoor-outdoor living is enhanced with French doors that lead onto a large deck, perfect for alfresco dining and summer barbecues. The lawns of the landscaped, sunny back garden are lined with olive trees that will grow into a full privacy screen. Rear lane access and a remote controlled double roller door offers convenient off-street parking for two cars.

As a further bonus, mixed use zoning caters to business and leisure, giving work-from-home professionals the opportunity to establish consulting suites while ensuring there is adequate living space to minimise interruption.

This one has it all. Don't let it get away.
