14 O'Connor Street

Reservoir VIC 3073

The period touches of yesteryear feature prominently throughout this delightfully cosy residence, from the three bedrooms (one with bay window and built-in robe, the second with a decorative fireplace, third bedroom also with built-in robes). The hallway spills into the formal living room featuring a gas fireplace with spectacular original wooden mantel and dining room enclosed with French doors. It's all too easy to imagine enjoying a family dinner and then curling up with a good book by the fire (or in the warmth of the ducted heating throughout) from the exceptionally generous bookshelf.
Also within the main house, you'll find the more contemporary areas of the home, like the two bathrooms, laundry, powder room and the kitchen with two full-length pantries, dishwasher and breakfast bar overlooking another cosy living space with a split system. Glass sliding doors from the main living room step out onto a gorgeous deck, shaded by a cathedral pergola, that looks out across the lush and bright north facing backyard toward the rear property.

This is where you will discover the next best thing about this unique offering; a second residence. Exposed brick, white timber panelled walls, skylights and floorboards frame the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, fitted with a split system and ceiling fan and beautifully characterised gas fireplace. Beyond, two bedrooms with built-in robes (or one and a study, if you'd prefer) are serviced by a central bathroom with bathtub and separate shower. You can even have private rear access via a ROW to a two-car remote-controlled lock-up garage.

Whether you're family or friends currently considering buying together but living separately, thinking of using the second home as lodgings or perhaps on the hunt for a property with a creative space for your hobby, there's plenty of potential to be borne out of a dual dwelling property.

Best of all, you're mere moments from all of the desirable amenities that Reservoir has to offer. It's a leisurely walk to Reservoir Village and Broadway Drive's vibrant cafe scene, as well as Edwardes Lake Park and a variety of primary and secondary schools. The accessibility to public transport here is exemplary, with Reservoir Train Station and a myriad of bus services practically on your doorstep, ensuring commuting those 12kms to and from Melbourne's CBD (or elsewhere) is stress-free.

This is an exciting opportunity to scoop up more for less. Don't pass it up.
