79 Brooke Street

Inglewood VIC 3517

Three doors open from the street. The main door opens to a wide central passage with a magnificent archway. Lofty ceilings throughout create a wonderful sense of grandeur. Three bedrooms, lounge room, kitchen and three-piece bathroom with a corner spa are on the ground floor.
The huge main front room is currently the main bedroom (formerly the bar) with a high ceiling, open fireplace, decorative timber surround and built-in shelves, and a wonderful ambience. Another superb archway leads to a lounge room, almost as big, with some charming features: a quirky wallpaper frieze, a gas log heater and tall windows, one with a deep windowsill and cupboards below. The northerly winter sun streams in to add light and warmth to this delightful room.
From the lounge room you step across a granite threshold and into the kitchen. Exposed brick walls, chimney, fireplace, decorative cast-iron stove, sloping pine ceiling and marble-look black and white flooring give the room great character while a modern La Germania 900mm stainless steel gas oven and cooktop does the real work. The laundry is conveniently located just off the kitchen.
There's a spacious three-piece bathroom with corner shower over bath down stairs. Also below the ground floor are two accessible cellars.
On the second floor, timber walls and floors featured in the six upstairs rooms as do some lovely fanlight windows. There is still some work to be done to rejuvenate some of the rooms upstairs, which can be done to your liking. A modern four-piece bathroom completes the second floor.
There's double-gated access from the rear lane to a large backyard with a carport, shed, rainwater and underground tanks, and a vine-covered pergola, a lovely space in summer and on sunny winter days. Modern additions include Rinnai instant gas hot water and a six panel solar system.
The township of Inglewood has quite a lot to offer. There's a resident GP, Ambulance service and Hospital with a health clinic and an emergency department. There are also 2 primary schools (Public and Catholic), a kindergarten, senior citizen centre, community centre, local swimming pool and an array of shops including an IGA supermarket and antiques and oldwares shops.
