22 Elder Parade, Essendon VIC 3040

With renovations already commenced, only execution remaining, and stirring opportunity present to restore life to legacy, this heritage-backed haven of late-Victorian elegance is a design and lifestyle prospect like nothing else.

As endearing and engaging as the day it was built c. 1891, the Hawthorn-brick façade preludes an interior where Baltic pine floors, fireplaces, a grand hallway arch, architraves, skirting boards, and picture rails keep heritage centre-stage. With much of the intensive labour pre-completed, character and generous space are perfect anchors to shape a vision around, while preferential north-side placement lets light pour in from dawn to dusk.

• Already-commenced renovations
• Much of the intensive labour finished
• Period features remain centre-stage
• North-side placement for sun all day
• Make a mark on a prestige street

As it stands, the home’s two large bedrooms are joined by a study/nursery, quiet central lounge, modern bathroom with a bath/shower, full-size laundry, updated kitchen, conservatory-style dining room, rear living domain, and backyard requiring minimal maintenance. Augmented with a carport and extra driveway space, the home represents a rare chance to capitalise on a well-advanced refurbishment and make a mark on a beloved family avenue, placed moments from everything Essendon is famous for.

St Therese’s Primary, Lincoln Park farmers markets, vibrant Rose Street and North Essendon Village, Essendon Station, the open expanses of Aberfeldie Park, and the picturesque Maribyrnong River all sit mere footsteps away, with Lowther Hall, PEGS, St Columba’s, Ave Maria, and St Bernard’s headlining the area’s elite schooling.
