4 Leila Street, Essendon VIC 3040

Tucked away in a quiet residential street of Essendon on the cusp of Brunswick West, next to a leafy walking trail, original owners of this redbrick Art Deco treasure knew its location was more than just prestigious, it was also serene. And so, they called it Boonie Doon, long before Dale Kerrigan said that he was going there.

Quirk and charm best describe this property which has been lovingly fitted out with endearing custom features such as a spiral staircase, outdoor woodshed, intricate carved woodwork and the home's very own fishponds. Today's buyer however, can capitalise on the many original features such as the stone fireplace, timber windows, picture rails, decorative cornices and ceiling mouldings…all indicative of the property's Art Deco origins.

With side drive and off-street parking plus garage, shed storage, sunroom, outdoor oasis and beer garden, separate laundry, 2 spacious bedrooms on the ground floor plus study and an additional 2 rooms upstairs, the layout provides scope for any number of renovation possibilities whist the generous land size provides opportunity for the discerning developer.

With all its delight, its unbeatable Essendon location moments from Albion Street buses and Moonee Ponds Creek Trail, it's also close to Montgomery Park, local cafe/shopping precincts and popular schools (zoned to Strathmore Secondary College), as well as easy access to Citylink. and all its abundance of potential, this is definitely not a house, it's a home.
