Blackburn VIC 3130

Superb Character, Prestige Position
Pope Road is arguably one of Blackburn's premier streets and is highly sought with its tree lined streetscape and exceptional location. Add to this a 3 bedroom Californian Bungalow with restored original character features and you have a rare opportunity to purchase this outstanding home in this prestigious location. Pretty as a picture from the street, you are welcomed with a double door entrance that opens into an expansive hallway and gleaming polished Baltic pine floorboards as well as traditional high decorative ceilings, high skirtings, picture rails and sash windows throughout. While maintaining the period features, the home is modernized with crisp, neutral colours that enhance the space and natural light. The formal lounge and dining areas have exquisite ornate ceilings, separated by leadlight-feature doors. Three bedrooms, the main with extensive fitted robes, all enjoy polished floors and ceiling fans and are serviced by a new, chic renovated bathroom equipped with a semi-frameless shower, toilet and floating vanity topped with Caesarstone. With a traditional layout, the kitchen has been updated to include stainless steel appliances including a gas cooker and a dishwasher and plenty of bench space. While you can move in and enjoy this gorgeous home, there is also the opportunity to further renovate and extend should you wish with a level and generous backyard. Surrounded by a combination of other period homes as well as extensive and impressive brand new homes this idyllic location offers a very short walk to Blackburn Railway Station, Blackburn Primary School, St Thomas' Primary School, Morton Park and Blackburn Village Shopping Strip with its cafes and shops. The location is further enhanced with a park and playground adjacent to the home as well as the highly regarded Pope Road Kindergarten. Cootamundra Walk at the end of the street offers a scenic route to North Blackburn Shopping Centre and Blackburn High School which are all within easy walking distance. The easy access to Eastern Freeway allows a 20 minute off peak trip to the city while nearby EastLink provides easy access to Melbourne's outer east and beyond.
A beautiful home, a gorgeous street and a wonderful opportunity to secure a property in this prime location that will allow you to enjoy an address envied by many.
