About this property
Beautifully restored and thoughtfully upgraded by an architect and engineer couple, this charming 1950s weatherboard offers a rare combination of timeless character, modern sustainability and exciting future opportunity on a substantial 725sqm (approx.) block. Designed to preserve the home's original charm while enhancing comfort and efficiency, the interiors are warm, light-filled and welcoming. Timber floors, quality finishes and a soft neutral palette create an immediate sense of calm. The open-plan living and dining area is anchored by a cosy gas fireplace and custom joinery, flowing seamlessly to a stylish kitchen appointed with stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances and architectural timber detailing. The spacious bathroom features a 1.7m bathtub and premium fittings, while the bedrooms are enhanced with acoustic insulation for added peace and privacy. Ducted split system heating and cooling, double glazing (acoustic rated and Low-E), R3.5 insulation, upgraded plumbing and electrical, and comprehensive draft sealing ensure year-round comfort. Outdoors, the home truly comes to life. A covered deck with translucent roofing invites winter sunshine, while the pergola's timber batten ceiling allows summer breezes to filter through - perfect for long Sunday lunches and relaxed entertaining. The expansive, private south-facing backyard is richly landscaped with established fruit trees, vegetable gardens, berries and herbs, creating a tranquil and productive retreat. A garage, separate shed and long driveway add further practicality. Adding significant appeal is the scale and flexibility of the land. With no easement and services positioned along the eastern boundary, the generous 725sqm (approx.) allotment presents outstanding potential for future extension, redevelopment or multi-dwelling opportunities (STCA), making this not only a beautiful home but also a strategic investment. Ideally located in a quiet, friendly pocket within walking distance to Bell Station, and close to Preston Market, High Street cafés and eateries, Northland Shopping Centre and Darebin Creek parklands and cycling trails, this is a rare opportunity to secure lifestyle, sustainability and long-term potential in one exceptional Preston address.
