Enticing City-Fringe Living with Potential

Enviably positioned for city-fringe convenience, this century-old residence offers instant comforts with exciting prospects to renovate and restore period features or reinvent (STCA) within a culturally rich enclave. Walk or cycle to Yarraville and Seddon Village cafes, restaurants and shopping, with waterfront trails that connect to Flemington Racecourse, Williamstown swimming beach and Altona Wetlands with an easy city commute on the Yarraville Train or cycle via the alluring Westgate Punt. You’ll discover a wide array of sporting and leisure clubs, Yarraville’s Sun Theatre, a choice of child care and schools with nearby Vic Uni, hospitals and shopping centres.<br/><br/>A facade of Federation charm boasts original blockwork, decorative timber mouldings, window awning and inviting veranda entry to interiors with substantial rooms and ceiling heights, dados and two chimneys to potentially reinstate fireplaces. Move in and be entirely content with a well-proportioned kitchen-meals area and separate living room, and a highly-sought after north facing roofed alfresco entertaining room and backyard with established gardens. <br/><br/>Accommodation incorporates two huge front bedrooms, one with built-in robes and a separate freestanding laundry with a home office or third bedroom. The home is quite private, set back from Francis & Hyde Streets with easy access onto both, and will reap significant rewards of both the Westgate Tunnel opening and a cosmetic makeover.
