Presenting with captivating curb appeal in a quiet, yet convenient pocket of vibrant Footscray, this freestanding two bedroom plus study period gem offers immediate comfort along with excellent prospects for future renovations (subject to council approval). Revealed beyond a charming timber block façade with return verandah and a leadlight threshold, an arched hallway, central living room and two charming bedrooms enjoy soaring decorative ceilings, rosettes, natural light and original character. Previously extended, the current layout also offers rustic timber kitchen with gas stove. Opening to an adjoining dining area, with inbuilt bar, and glass doors to an alfresco zone and private garden. Modern comforts include split-system air conditioners, built-in-robe, neat and tidy bathroom, laundry zone, garden studio, brick barbeque and an off street car space. Nestled on a well-maintained garden block of 264m2 approx., the home is enviably located close to Barkly Street Village shops, cafés, Whitten Oval, Highpoint Shopping Centre, schools, trains and major road links to the CBD.
