265 Wood Street, Preston VIC 3072

Retaining period influences whilst incorporating contemporary style, this fully renovated glamour offers the best of both worlds in the heart of sought-after Preston.

Hidden behind lush tropical gardens that promote maximum privacy and an instant dose of relaxation that you can soak up from the decked front verandah, it's easy to feel a world away from it all and forget you're only a stone's throw from Plenty Rd trams and High St bars and foodie hotspots.

Captivating ceilings dressed with ornately decorated cornices and roses adorn the front section of the home, which comfortably accommodates three bedrooms of generous proportions (one of which features a beautiful Bay window), period bathroom with claw foot bath and central dining (with study nook) before opening onto the spectacular open-plan living that captures the true essence of modern living. A lengthy island bench is the face of the first-class kitchen that's stylishly fitted with a 900mm freestanding stainless steel cooker, fridge, glass splashback and contemporary pendant lighting, while bi-fold doors unite the radiant interior with a stunning decked alfresco qualified to play host to large gatherings any time of year.

A versatile studio with split-system heating/cooling lends itself to a host of living options, as does the loft office, accessed via a pull-down ladder.

Complete with LED lighting, ducted heating, remote double garage with work benches, polished timber floorboards, large laundry with dryer and convenient access to schools, parks and Preston train station, move straight in and live happily and conveniently ever after.
