Befitting the beauty of this breathtaking streetscape, this enchanting 2 bedroom + study freestanding Hawthorn brick Victorian is gorgeous with its seamless transition from period charm to relaxed warmth in the beautiful northern sun. First time offered in 60 years, 'Furneaux' was named after the prominent Furneaux family (Furneaux and Sons Plumbers) who originally purchased No. 15, 17 and 19 in the early 1960s. They maintained the tuckpointed brickwork, the laced ironwork, sash windows, high ceilings, deep cornices, leadlights and Baltic pine floorboards, while adding a more modern extension around 20 years ago. Welcomed by an arched entrance hallway, this impeccable home enjoys a north facing open plan living and dining area with high vaulted ceiling (3.5m approx.), a cheery kitchen with island bench/breakfast bar, 2 generous bedrooms (one with open fireplace and built in robes), an open study area, a spotless bathroom with separate powder room and a compact laundry. Sliding glass doors open onto the north facing rear garden with its gleaming brick paved alfresco area, lush lawn and storage shed. Retain its beauty for the now with scope for an on trend renovation or upstairs extension in the future (Subject to Council Approval) maintaining the street front appeal, this period treasure is comfortable with gas heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a security door and a water tank. In this historic tree lined street, between the glorious Victoria Gardens and Princes Gardens, walk to the Flying Duck Hotel, popular Chapel Street cafes, buzzing bars and boutiques, Prahran or Hawksburn train stations, trams, Prahran High School, Windsor Primary School and Melbourne Polytechnic.
