Tightly held, lovingly maintained and ripe with potential on the southern side of Bell Street on the Thornbury fringe, this bright and beautiful two-bedroom period charmer offers a current-day picture of comfort with exciting opportunities for the buyer with vision.

Sited on a generous 520sqm (approx.) block with rear lane access via its large north-facing backyard, there's scope to wipe the slate clean and build your dream lifestyle home or a pair of luxury townhouses (STCA) in a premier Preston pocket, which enjoys outstanding access to trendy eateries along the popular High Street strip, Pender's Grove Primary School, parks, the No.86 tram, Thornbury train station, South Preston Shopping Centre and Northland Shopping Centre.

Although redeveloping is an option (STCA), the perfectly liveable and impeccably well-presented nature of the home, coupled with its radiant central lounge, spacious open-plan meals/kitchen area, generous-sized bedrooms serviced by a central family bathroom, large laundry, versatile sunroom, classic high ceilings, brick workshop and off-street parking for two cars, will inspire you to move straight in and add your own touches if you wish.

Equipped with ceiling fans and gas heating for added comfort, this appealing single-level home also represents a solid investment in a blue-chip locale.
