Sitting pretty in a gorgeous landscaped garden, this cottage-style house has great street appeal! Home to original owners and recently updated, the old-world charmer is packed with all the modern conveniences. A gated circular driveway leads to the front veranda where an exquisite leadlight-glass front door makes a striking impression. Luxurious spotted gum polished floorboards, high ceilings with ornate cornices and rosettes, and boxed bay stained glass windows with quality Austrian blinds adorn the interior. A stunning Victorian cast-iron and timber gas fireplace adds character and warmth. There are three big bedrooms, including two with mirrored built-in robes that share the main spa bathroom. Overlooking the front garden, the carpeted main bedroom has an ensuite and walk-in robe. Relax with family and friends in the formal lounge room where french doors open to the side veranda, or in the family living, dining and kitchen zone that flows out to a sheltered deck. A home chef will love the kitchen, equipped with ample bench space, a new stainless-steel underbench Bosch oven and gas cooktop, timber cabinets and a walk-in pantry. An appealing addition to the low-maintenance backyard is a separate multipurpose building that showcases soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed beams and barn-style doors. Spacious and bright with a flexible floorplan, it has a rumpus or games room, home office or workshop, and upper level store room or fourth bedroom. This structure is ideal as a children's retreat, home-business or artist's studio, and could also be used by a home-handyperson, those working from home or extended family members. Other features include gas ducted heating, split-system airconditioning, ceiling fans, downlights, three toilets, a study and gated side access for a caravan or boat. The property is in a prized neighbourhood near Moonee Ponds Creek biking and walking trails, Westmeadows Primary School, village cafes and shops, medical clinics and bus services. Broadmeadows and Gladstone Park shopping centres, train station, airport and freeway access are not far away. • Period character and modern conveniences • Main bathroom with spa • Multiple living areas • Separate multipurpose building • Three toilets • Close to Moonee Ponds Creek trail • Victorian cast-iron gas fireplace • Spotted gum floorboards • Stained-glass windows and door • Gated side access This is one you will need to add to your ins
