2 Inglewood Street, Golden Square VIC 3555

The facade belies what lies inside this classic 40s red brick home.

A complete renovation has given it a second chance at life.

While it retains many of its original characteristics, internally, it has transformed into a modern haven for singles, downsizers, professionals or investors.

Set behind a picket fence, the welcoming black-and-white tiled front porch is a quiet spot to enjoy the winter morning sun.

A generous entry hall features original traits like polished hardwood floors, higher ceilings with art deco-inspired ceiling panels and picture rails.

Accommodation includes two larger-than-average bedrooms - the main has his and hers built-in robes, split system heating/cooling and access to the two-way bathroom.

The central light-filled living room and adjoining kitchen provide the ideal space for relaxing or entertaining.

Home cooks will delight in the kitchen equipped with a 900mm gas/electric cooker, a dishwasher, Caesarstone-topped benches, ample white cabinetry, and the adjoining laundry that provides extra pantry storage.

The bathroom includes terrazzo-look floor and wall tiling, a back-to-wall freestanding bathtub, a stone-topped vanity, a WC and a walk-in shower room with a fabulous tiled feature wall.

Enjoy breakfast on the rear deck where weather-proof awnings roll down to create a private space, whatever the weather.

The secure backyard keeps pets or children safely contained, while the side-accessed double carport doubles as a second, larger entertaining space when the occasion calls.

Additional features include ducted heating, ceiling fans, built-in shelving, light-filtering full-height sheer drapes and a garden shed.

The property enjoys the convenience of having a bus stop at your front door, it's within walking distance to the Specimen Hill Primary School, Community Kids Childcare and Kindergarten, Red Energy Arena stadium, a convenience/fast food store and the Gold Mines Hotel, with St John of God Hospital and the CBD a short drive.

The hard work is complete here -the total renovation has created a low-maintenance, modern property ready for another century of living.
