Overview

Set within a peaceful and family-friendly street of Kingsville, this beautifully renovated Edwardian residence successfully combines timeless character with modern comforts, creating an inviting home that embraces a vibrant inner-west lifestyle.

The property's notable period features—including high decorative ceilings, leadlight windows, and largely original floorboards—bestow a unique warmth and authenticity, while recent renovations have introduced conveniences and elegant finishes.

The heart of the home is an interconnected living and dining area flowing seamlessly into a contemporary kitchen, outfitted with quality appliances, herringbone tiling, and a breakfast bar—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining guests.

Accommodations include a main bedroom with a walk-in robe and modern ensuite, complemented by two additional bedrooms featuring built-in robes, one with a charming window seat overlooking the verdant front garden. A central bathroom equipped with a bathtub and walk-in shower caters thoughtfully to family or guest needs.

Further practicalities include a discreet European laundry, ample storage throughout the home, and additional attic space enhancing functionality. Climate control is assured year-round through ducted heating and multiple split-system heating and cooling units, supplemented by a 2kW solar panel system aligning with energy efficiency goals.

Outdoor living is equally appealing with a private backyard sanctuary comprising established trees and hedging, a brick-paved entertaining area, and a lawn space suitable for children or leisure activities. Accessible off-street parking via rear laneway adds convenience, alongside available street parking.

This residence is perfectly suited to families or professionals seeking a character-rich home offering both comfort and lifestyle advantages close to Melbourne’s CBD. The location provides easy access to local cafes, shopping villages, schools, parks, and public transport, further enhancing its desirability.
