263 Tyler Street, Preston VIC 3072

Turn the key into this tranquil family home and discover a peaceful and private leafy sanctuary full of creative energy and the potential to earn.

With a fantastic studio nestled discretely amongst the botanic rear yard resplendent with blossoming bottlebrush and mature flowers, it's easy to feel inspired and create a work of art, whether on canvas with brushstrokes or on paper with words. And with a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, living area, gas heating and air-conditioning plus a versatile third bedroom option (with reverse-cycle heating/cooling and gas stove) that could form part of the main residence or remain independent, you could sublet both to supplement your income.

An excellent sense of space, warmth and light defines the alluring main residence, which draws northern light into its charm-filled formal lounge (with fireplace) and through to the vast open-plan living, home to an excellent timber kitchen and generous living area that integrates with the peaceful deck. Out here, one could do a lot of thinking whilst admiring the surrounding scenic beauty. Or, you could hop into the spa, disconnect from reality and reconnect with your body and mind.

Bedrooms are of generous proportions and serviced by a bright and fresh main bathroom, while a water tank with pump and connection to a house tap, polished timber floorboards, wonderful high ceilings, evaporative cooling and gas heating adds further appeal.

Only a short stroll to Preston Primary School, the bustling High St strip, an assortment of cafes and Plenty Rd trams and minutes to Northland Shopping Centre, Regent train station, numerous parks, La Trobe University and Preston Market, secure your haven in the city.
