WELCOME HOME

If you've been looking for that perfect project, this one nails location, charm and lifestyle. Walking distance to Highpoint, just across from the Maribyrnong River, and with trams and Union Rd cafes close by. This three-bedroom 1950s bungalow is equal parts character and opportunity. For one thing, you're getting a decent-size block (631m2) with a sunny north-westerly aspect. Second, it comes with a bunch of mid-century features: solid floorboards, etched glass bifold doors, cornices, and an original brick fireplace (now converted to gas). The house itself features three generous bedrooms, all with built-in robes, plus a separate bungalow/studio. Perfect for a home office. There's a secure garage, off-street driveway parking, and two undercover entertaining zones out the back. With Coulson Gardens around the corner, and the best of Maribyrnong on your doorstep, the only question is: renovate or rebuild from scratch? STCA, The options are as wide open as the backyard.
