• Stone-top kitchen, entertainer’s deck, all-day sun, heating/cooling and various original details

• Steps to parks, childcare, schools, Coles, buses, trains and the verve of Yarraville Village

Making the most of its corner placement to offer sunlight from all sides, clever flexibility and a wealth of adaptable space, this classic Art Deco-era home pairs period charm with modern comforts in a Yarraville pocket perfect for today’s family.

With rich character preserved through sash and leadlight windows, elaborate ceiling roses, intricate cornices and timber picture rails, skirting boards and architraves, the home’s history is harnessed and built upon to create an environment that’s warm, welcoming and a joy for a family to grow up in. A ground-floor bedroom and adjoining bathroom are ideal as a guest suite, while above, an expansive master and third bedroom are accompanied by excellent robe space, a smart bathroom with a spa bath and open retreat perfect as an office or base for teenagers.

Brilliant for hosting friends and family, a large lower dining room steps into an open living area and stone-top kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and abundant storage. Bi-fold doors turn the home into an indoor-outdoor entertainer, revealing a wonderfully private back deck and wrap-around yard great for barbecues and drinks on a summer evening.

Enjoyable from the very outset while offering outstanding scope to personalise, add value and renovate in years to come, the abode’s other highlights range from hardwood floors to ducted heating, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, sheer curtains, under-stair storage, a shed, carport and room for second car off-street.
