Wander with ease to an array of local attractions and enjoy a wonderful inner-city lifestyle from the prime Westgarth position of this captivating single-level Edwardian combining spacious proportions, period character and modern appointments in a deep, sunlit garden setting. A classic façade behind high-fence landscaped garden with a sun-drenched bluestone patio provides a welcoming sense of arrival to this outstanding corner residence where an undercover porch with original leadlight entry opens to a beautiful hallway and bright interior spaces featuring decorative ceilings, polished floorboards and open fireplaces. Soak up the sunshine from the north-facing bay window seat of a big light-filled bedroom including fabulous fitted built-in robes, while further is an impressive second bedroom of larger dimensions that also incorporates built-in robes. Kept completely comfortable throughout the year with ducted reverse-cycle heating and cooling, the layout extends to a spacious living room before flowing to a dining area (gas log fireplace) and an adjoining air-conditioned kitchen with an Ilve stainless-steel stove. Further is a versatile multipurpose area for lounging, studying or playing, while there’s also a family-friendly bathroom with a separate bathtub beside the shower, plus a full-size separate laundry. Alfresco entertaining is absolutely effortless with an undercover timber deck including a gas-plumbed BBQ that steps out onto a leafy courtyard garden fringed in fruit trees with an additional patio at the rear and gates with a crossover from Leonard Street allowing for the option of secure off-street parking. This exceptional freestanding home with an alarm system presents an ideal Westgarth start for a growing family, or an easy inner-urban downsizing opportunity, in a friendly community-minded pocket that’s coveted, quiet and convenient in the Fairfield Primary and Northcote High School zones.
