3 Wentworth Avenue

Essendon VIC 3040

This discreetly located street has been a carefully guarded secret amongst its cohort of long-term residents for good reason, and, just quietly, the opportunity to secure a spot here is as rare as hens teeth! Nestled behind its superbly curated front garden, the external charm of this original Ornate Edwardian prefaces a contemporary renovation defined by clean design elements, a rich neutral palette and eminently liveable floorplan.Light and airy rooms, enhanced by high ceilings, plantation shutters and wide board engineered timber floors, retain echoes of the period with triple casement windows and feature stained glass panes.Four luxe carpeted bedrooms, each containing capacious built-in wardrobes and one with a window seat, are serviced by two attractive bathrooms.An inviting lounge with adjoining dining, offers a gas log fireplace and bespoke display shelving, through to the fabulous kitchen providing wide engineered stone wrap-around island/breakfast bar, 900mm oven, induction cooktop, dishwasher, appliance hutch and loads of cabinetry. The original woodfired stove, in a respectful nod to the past, and purely decorative, also remains. Step down to a spacious and light-filled living room with bi-folds out to an alfresco entertainment deck with louvred roof and glorious rear garden aspect, clearly planted and tended by a dedicated green thumb. While a securely fenced self-cleaning, gas heated swim spa, paved patio and BBQ area guarantee summer fun for all the family.A bonus external studio with murphy bed and storage makes an excellent guest room, teen retreat, home gym or work from home office space with roller door access via a shared side driveway.Additional highlights include a large, practically appointed laundry with drying rack and further storage, ceiling fans in all bedrooms and living spaces, ducted heating and split system air conditioners, CCTV cameras, security alarm, external sensor lights and single carport. Centrally located close to all major amenities, including schools, transport options, freeway access and North Essendon Village shops and cafes, with Salmon Avenue and Woodlands Park close by.
