Northcote VIC 3070

This grand and gracious four bedroom, two bathroom Federation family home, "Monda" circa 1908, set on a magnificent 1074sqm approx. parcel of land high on Ruckers Hill is poised for contemporary enhancements (STCA). Amidst established gardens, an imposing period faade and return veranda with a series of timber arches, opulently proportioned interiors feature ornate plasterwork and soaring ceilings with rosettes beyond a beautiful leadlight threshold. With a rare distinction of only ever having had three owners, the home presents an exciting opportunity for period home renovators to restore its formal living, dining rooms and drawing room/consulting rooms to their former glory. While a later addition, housing light filled kitchen/meals and family room with glimpses of the Dandenong Ranges, and large backyard offer scope for dynamic changes facilitating modern day living and entertaining requirements. Offers central bathrooms, charming bedrooms, heating/cooling and double garage/storeroom. In the Northcote High zone this much cherished home, with historical associations that make for interesting reading, also boasts proximity to High Street shops, cafs, parks, transport and the CBD.
