88 East Street, Woodend, Vic 3442

High on a hill, with views across to the famous Woodend golf-course, Esbeth offers the opportunity to own a beautiful 3/5 bedroom period home without sacrificing space and convenience.

A vast entrance hall, characteristic of the period, has honey-coloured Baltic floorboards, while the family room/guest room has double doors with panelling and leadlight glazing.

The dining room retains its original fireplace and has a plate shelf and panelled ceiling. French doors lead to the living room with its deep sills, ornate ceilings and fireplace between a pair of pretty windows.

A rambling kitchen is at the heart of the home. The original stove alcove has been retained, and is surrounded by warm red bricks. The timber benchtops and Baltic floors contrast with the modern white cabinets and splashes of stainless steel.

The master bedroom occupies the top floor, providing a charming parents' retreat. The ensuite bathroom has a glossy white his-and-hers vanity and a double shower. A balcony overlooks the garden and beyond.

The downstairs bedrooms are both generously proportioned, with built in robes. Along with original windows and decorative ceiling features, one of these bedrooms has an attractive fireplace.

Tucked into the back garden is a three room cottage, ideal for home office use or a potential B & B, (STCA.) There are two street frontages and ample off-street parking
A mature and immaculate cypress hedge surrounds the property, ensuring privacy and seclusion. The garden has manicured lawns, brick paths, and formal and informal areas.

Esbeth's location would be difficult to beat. Local secondary schools bus stops are very close, and within a five minute walk are the primary school and the cafes and shops of Woodend village centre. Access to the Calder freeway is a few minutes drive away.
