Overview

This expansive six-bedroom, three-bathroom Victorian-style house offers an impressive canvas for family living just 5.5 kilometres north-west of Melbourne’s CBD. Rich in period character, the property’s generous proportions and thoughtful additions deliver both charm and versatility, ready to be restored to its full potential.

Natural light streams into the home through box-bay and clerestory windows, highlighting the blend of traditional architectural details such as leadlight windows, high decorative ceilings, and a magnificent fireplace with a mirrored timber mantel. The flowing living and dining areas are ideal for relaxed living and entertaining, with dual bathrooms spread over two levels enhancing convenience for larger households.

Adding to the appeal is a stylish, self-contained two-bedroom bungalow, which features artistic touches and modern fittings including Miele appliances and a fully tiled bathroom. This space is a versatile asset, suitable for extended family, guests, a teenage retreat, or a home office/studio, providing privacy and flexibility.

The outdoor environment complements the home’s interiors with a resort-style setting that includes a fully tiled enclosed pool and spa, a barbecue, water features, sauna, and an outdoor shower. Multiple entertaining areas, both front and rear, invite year-round social gatherings or tranquil relaxation, with scope to further enhance these spaces.

Additional practical features include heating and cooling systems, an electric gate, and off-street parking for multiple vehicles, all situated on a well-sized 539 square metre block with an east-facing frontage that captures morning sunlight.

Situated in a sought-after locale with easy access to local schools such as Brunswick South West Primary, parks including Wylie Reserve and Gilpin Park, and an array of shops and cafes along Grantham Road, the property offers an appealing lifestyle within reach of public transport routes including the Route 58 trams, and a scenic commute via Royal Park to the CBD.

Offered for auction, this home presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a substantial, character-rich property with excellent potential for personalization and extension in a vibrant community setting.
