136 Cramer Street, Preston VIC 3072

Situated in a quiet residential spot on Cramer Street in Preston, this beautifully renovated three-bedroom home is a stunning hybrid of old-world architecture and modernity that will enchant all who enter.

From the moment you arrive at this home you get the sense there’s a comforting magic about it – from its leadlight windows and timber thatching on its facade, to the breathtaking baroque-style timber feature walls that line the entry hall, decorative motifs across the ceilings and solid timber floorboards within.

A bedroom can be found on either side of the entry, both awash in natural light thanks to the leadlight-infused balconette-style windows. One is fitted with an exceptionally large built-in robe, while the other draws on its old-world origins with an ornate and delicately carved timber fireplace.

Wander down the hall and you’ll begin to see where the elaborate old-world style ends and the modern flourishes begin, starting with a gleaming bathroom with bath-shower hybrid, toilet and stunning silver fittings, followed by a combined kitchen and dining area with shiny white cabinetry, expansive benchtops and stainless steel Westinghouse appliances. This area effortlessly flows into a large living space with gas fireplace framed by its original wooden mantel – a perfect spot for popping family trinkets and cosying up on cold winter nights.

Stepping outside via the dining room you’ll enter a vast backyard offering the kind of space that’s now a rare find in inner-city suburbs. Lush grass carpets the area, offering a wonderful entertainment spot for when cold winter nights transform into balmy summer evenings. Beside it you’ll find a huge double garage and shed. On the fringe of the body of the house, there’s also a third bedroom, laundry and a separate toilet.

Not only is this gem of a home a rare find in Preston, it’s also conveniently positioned just a short five-minute drive from the Preston Markets and renowned Gilbert Road/Miller Street shopping precinct, as well as public transport connections, local parks and schools. Whether you’re an investor or a family looking for a new place to call home, this is one place you don’t want to dally on.
