More Than a Home. A Slice of History

Superbly renovated with seamless indoor-outdoor connection and glorious natural light, this impressive, 3 bedroom home was once the residence of former Australian Prime Minister Julie Gillard. A statement in understated style and simple elegance, the home manages to evoke the feel of a ship heading out to sea, in a rewarding position just a few minutes from Altona Beach.<br/><br/>At its heart, the home’s stone-topped kitchen is appointed with stainless steel appliances and arranged around a central island bench that provides a wonderful place to gather, while the flow through to dining, a gas log fire-heated living, and a large north-facing deck is delightful. Importantly, a separate lounge is warmed by another gas log fireplace and offers an alternative living zone.<br/><br/>Sheltered towards the home’s rear, the master bedroom has been finished with walk-in robes, its own ensuite, and an easy connection to the sunny joy of the deck for a genuine sense of sanctuary. Meanwhile, the remaining bedrooms are each appointed with substantial built-in robes and are conveniently set near the central bathroom.<br/><br/>Set on a magnificent allotment of 603 spare meters (approx.) amidst attractive gardens and with driveway parking for at least 3 vehicles, the home also features clever European laundry, split system heating, and air conditioning, as well as a garden shed and gorgeous polished hardwood flooring throughout.<br/><br/>Directly opposite the highly regarded Altona College, the home sits within easy reach of all the cafes, shopping, and dining of Civic Parade and city-bound trains from Westonia Railway Station, while the sands of Altona Beach are just a couple of minutes away and the M1 Freeway can be accessed easily.<br/><br/>
