First time offered in 98 years, this charming three bedroom freestanding single fronted timber Edwardian has retained all its original grace and is ready for a sympathetic renovation. In essentially original order maintaining its high ceilings, leadlights, bullnose laced verandah, picture rails and fireplaces, this light filled treasure features a sizeable living room with gas heater, an original kitchen with larder (walk in pantry) with adjoining spacious meals area, a versatile ‘lean-to’ family room, three bedrooms (two with mantels, one with built in robes), a central bathroom with its old copper, separate toilet and a large laundry. On a deep block, this untouched gem is excited about its restoration opportunity while having the modern updates of security doors, reverse cycle air conditioner, ample storage, a garage, carport and a garden shed. On a lovely leafy street, close to Martin Street Retail Village, Gardenvale station to leading private schools, Martin Street buses, Kamesburgh Gardens and Star of the Sea College. Zoned for Elsternwick Primary School and Elwood College.
