14 Hawking Street, Preston VIC 3072

With a world of convenience at your door, a light-filled interior full of charm and a generous 445sqm (approx.) allotment brimming with potential, this warm and inviting period home is, quite clearly, dressed for success.

Enjoying the benefits of rear lane access, the chance to develop (STCA) in a five-star Preston locale is an enticing option for the astute developer, but the great thing about this property is you don't have to decide its fate straight away. In fact, given its perfectly liveable state and presence of gas ducted heating and cooling, a gas log fireplace in the spacious living, spacious bedrooms (two with built-in robes), security window shutters, central period bathroom and wonderful leadlight windows, you could lease it for an attractive return whilst plans and permits are being approved or begin your next chapter of family memories here and develop at a later date.

For the homebuyer keen to settle down for the future, you have an excellent chance to make your mark by adding modern appliances to the big and bright kitchen. Its period charm, meanwhile, is showcased through the polished timber floorboards underfoot and high ceilings that accentuate space and height throughout.

A peaceful gazebo that stands in the corner of the easy-care grassed backyard offers the perfect space to host BBQ get-togethers, and when it's not being used for entertaining purposes, capitalise on its serenity by enjoying your morning breakfast or afternoon tea.

A versatile double carport can also be used to entertain large gatherings, while a neighbouring remote double garage offers safe and secure car accommodation.

What's also sure to attract a host of buyers is the opportunity to live within walking distance of bus transport, Plenty Rd trams, Davis Reserve, Preston Primary School and the cosmopolitan High St strip and only moments from Preston/Regent train station, bustling Preston Market and Northland Shopping Centre. What an opportunity!
