Retaining its distinctive fifties' flavour, this blonde-brick beauty has undergone an inspired transformation with its redesigned interior, custom renovations and efficiency upgrades delivering a family environment of absolute quality, versatility and urban practicality. Beyond its characteristic facade, discover a vogue interior bathed in natural light comprising three bedrooms (large master) all with built-in robes serviced by a deluxe central bathroom with freestanding tub, rain-head shower, floor-to-ceiling tiles and separate WC. Adding to the allure is a spacious and versatile open-plan living/dining area complemented by a custom kitchen complete with stone benchtops and breakfast bar, tiled splashbacks, Bosch dishwasher and Miele cooking appliances. Other stand-out features of the home include high ceilings and original solid hardwood floors, full-size laundry and excellent storage options, split-system heating/cooling and additional gas-log fireplace for year-round comfort, as well as double-glazed/laminated windows, premium insulation and 5kW solar power for outstanding energy efficiency. Double doors (from the living area) reveal a fabulous outdoor entertaining deck and substantial backyard garden oasis with handy workshop/storeroom, plus the added flexibility of a dedicated studio/home office and front driveway for two-car off-street parking. Moments from the tram stop (on Gilbert Road) and walking distance to Murray Road buses, it's also close to popular schools, local parks and cafes, as well as easy access to Melbourne Polytechnic, Preston Market and Preston Station.
