Overview

This distinguished c1935 English Tudor residence offers an exceptional blend of heritage charm and potential for contemporary enhancement within its existing roofline, allowing prospective owners to envision panoramic city views with council approval (STCA). Located on a meticulously landscaped corner allotment in the prized West Preston neighborhood, the clinker brick home showcases elegant formal living and dining areas rich with original features such as functional fireplaces and etched glass detailing, underscoring the period craftsmanship.

Natural light suffuses the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces, where a granite breakfast island anchors the modern heart of the home. The design embraces flexible indoor-outdoor living through multiple sliding doors that lead to a tranquil private courtyard with a deck, perfect for intimate outdoor relaxation or casual entertaining.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged to include three bedrooms complemented by a dedicated home office, catering well to families, professionals working remotely, or those requiring adaptable space. An original art deco bathroom and separate WC add to the home's character and heritage aesthetic. Further attributes include decorative ceilings, pendant lighting, ducted heating, polished timber flooring, and ample inbuilt storage, enhancing both ambiance and functionality.

Parking needs are well met with a single garage plus a double carport, supporting multiple vehicles or visitor parking. Ideally positioned close to local retail outlets, grocers, cafés, schools, and with convenient tram access on Gilbert Road, this rare offering represents an exceptional opportunity in a highly sought-after locale where homes of this calibre seldom appear.
