Description
Vendor's note:
"I have been lovingly restoring this Grand Old Lady (circa 1890-1910) for 26 years and realise that I can't afford to give her the care she deserves. So reluctantly I am passing the baton on to someone who will love this house as much as I have."
In a sought after and tightly held location alongside the Yarra river, 5 mins walk from the iconic Fairfield Boathouse and parklands, this generous corner allotment with established gardens features a historic renovated 4 bedroom home. 13ft ceilings, original features and beautifully spacious rooms will provide a great family home or shared accommodation with 2 bedrooms having their own entrances.
Entering through an expansive light filled hallway you will glimpse the bathroom straight ahead past 2 huge bedrooms, one with a bay window & french doors onto the wrap around verandah. Gorgeous original features, 2 working fireplaces and towering ceilings will make you feel like royalty.
The lavish main bathroom contains a slipper bath, rain shower, hand made brass sinks, glowing brass fittings & the mosaic designs of a eastern bathing temple.
A 3rd large bedroom (with access to the cat enclosure) and a 4th bedroom with ensuite & french doors to the back garden with a pond & waterfall just at the door. These 2 rooms have been Airbnb suites which has offered an extra income stream.
The recently renovated aquamarine kitchen with island bench & belling stove is an entertainers delight as you can cook and have a wine with friends ... no more missing out on the socialising while you're preparing dinner. Included is an integrated dishwasher & rubbish system and loads of cupboard space.
It will be easy to get up in the morning, as you overlook the abundant lemon tree and tropical garden oasis in this sun drenched, north facing living room.
The backyard is fitted with cat netting to the boundary fences and a secure cat enclosure at the side of the house to make a safe kitty haven.
A single car garage offers storage and an opportunity for second dwelling (previously approved by council)
