WELCOME HOME

Tucked into one of Essendon's most-loved pockets, this home isn't just a house-it's a lifestyle upgrade with a side of "wow." Sitting pretty on a whopping 972sqm block, it's already stretched its legs with an extended floorplan, and still leaves you plenty of space to dream bigger. Think: a backyard so massive it could host a pool, a trampoline, and still have room for a backyard cricket pitch (umpire not included). Add in a location that's just a hop, skip and latte away from shops, cafes, transport, and some of the area's best schools, and you've got the recipe for happy-ever-after.
