This four-bedroom brick Art Deco home in a sought-after Preston pocket captures a suburban snapshot of a classic bygone era and represents a perfect match for those seeking a timeless living experience with modern lifestyle benefits.

The owners have faithfully and sympathetically worked to maintain and enhance the home's original features. That commitment extends through every room, from the natural finish on the polished timber floorboards and lounge room's feature flooring to the elaborate high ceilings above, original period doors and light fittings throughout. The second bedroom was originally a study/lounge area with flow though to the main living room which could be easily restored, with original leadlight double doors still intact and in pristine condition.

Gas cooking and updated stainless steel dishwasher adds contemporary quality and convenience to the spacious kitchen, while a bright main bathroom comfortably services the generously proportioned bedrooms.

A huge, insulated brick studio/retreat set in established grounds lends itself to a host of options. Additionally, an incredible 24sqm (approx.) attic loft accessed via a hidden drop ladder in the kitchen offers excellent out-of-sight storage.

The home has also been combined with a discrete sustainability, from the thriving veggie patch to the solar panels, which have a 66¢ per kilowatt hour bonus until the end of 2024, meaning virtually free power. The large split-system heating/cooling unit provides climate control throughout most of the house, and a huge 22,000-litre underground rainwater tank supplies all your garden, laundry and bathroom water - with an easy switch to mains if necessary.


Complete with a separate laundry outbuilding, which includes a second toilet, generous off-street parking, new insulation throughout and large, recently installed heat pump water heater, the appeal of this Art Deco gem extends to its dream location, which is within short walking distance of the No.86 tram, Bell train station, popular local suburban eateries along High Street and Plenty Road, Preston Market, parks and Sacred Heart Primary School and minutes to Preston South Primary School, Preston High School and Northland Shopping Centre.
