WELCOME HOME

What a year 1979 was. Sony gave us the Walkman, Rocky II was released and 4/6 Ballater Street was built. But unlike a portable cassette player or b-grade movie, this ripper retro villa definitely stands the test of time. Check it out. It's set at the rear and one of only four on the block. Bingo. Plus, the rooms are all well-proportioned, there's an abundance of natural light and terrific outdoor spaces to enjoy. Icing on the cake is its brilliant location in one of Essendon's best streets close to everything that matters.
