Fairfield VIC 3078

A rare riverside sanctuary with a sense of country living, this spacious family residence on an extra-large north-facing rear block is nestled near the Yarra, parkland and trails. Once in a lifetime there's an opportunity that can't be missed. After 44 years that moment is now as this long-held 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home presents a unique opening in a highly-prized, tightly-held pocket by Yarra Bend Park and the Fairfield Boathouse. A 1930s Californian bungalow previously renovated by renowned architect Peter Elliot, this charming timber residence on a substantial 855 sq. metre allotment (approx.) captures garden aspects at every turn including a huge north-facing rear oasis with an entertainment deck, 2-room bluestone & weatherboard studio and an abundance of native birds. Complemented by hydronic heating, split-system air-conditioning, alarm system and leadlight casement windows, the versatile layout includes a study/library or 4th bedroom, 3 further large bedrooms, built-in robes, lounge room, light and airy kitchen with European appliances, superb family living and dining room (open fireplace) flowing to the deck, 2 bathrooms and a big laundry. There's also a great amount of storage plus rainwater tank and ample off-street parking. This classic home in a community-minded locale by the river offers outstanding potential when ready to renovate, build a stunning new residence or explore other options (STCA) near Yarra trails, cafs, Fairfield Village shopping, train station, schools and the freeway.
