Last Listing description (November 2018)

If city living is the dream, this charming Victorian era home is the property.
The prime position and Commercial 1 zoning offers a vibrant city-edge lifestyle, fabulous business opportunity, or both.
Behind the high picket fence and pretty cottage garden, 'Birchwood', circa 1893, has all the endearing charm of the Victorian era with original external features in detailed cast-iron lacework to the front verandah and tripartite front windows.

Inside, the characteristic central hallway features high, Baltic pine-lined ceilings and lining boards with polished pine floorboards underfoot. It opens to three bedrooms, all including open fireplaces with decorative timber mantelpieces.
The roomy, country-style kitchen includes a 900mm gas/electric range, original sink with timber cabinetry and bench tops.
While the bathroom has been updated, it is in keeping with the period style with claw foot bath, ripple iron shower screen and pedestal hand basin.
At the end of the hallway, an expansive living/dining area opens to a rear verandah with views over the leafy backyard. It's the ideal spot for long Sunday brunches with family and friends.
Extra spaces include a study nook beside the kitchen opening to a sunny courtyard, large laundry with fantastic linen press and ample storage, separate WC and a rear vestibule off the back verandah while ducted heating and cooling flows throughout.
The residence has seen some updates over the years but could be further improved or developed (STCA) to bring it into the 21st century.
A garage and plenty of off-street parking add to the property's potential for business use including, but not restricted to, short-term serviced accommodation.
The key here is the location just 800 metres from Alexandra Fountain means you can throw away the car keys and walk to work (and everything else) in the CBD.
Don't hesitate to call for an inspection this one won't be waiting for procrastinators!
