40 Nelson Street, Sandringham VIC 3191

A rare find being offered for the first time since 1956, this well preserved two bedroom timber c1913 Federation on 678m2 approx. is ready and waiting to be meticulously restored retaining its original character. Skirted by a decked verandah that wraps around the entire home, this untouched treasure retains its 3.3m approx. timber lined ceilings, red pine wall panelling, box bay windows, open fireplace, timber fretwork and beautiful leadlight windows. The rooms are majestic with a central entry foyer leading to the two big bedrooms; each with side verandah access, a stately living room with open fireplace, and double doors lead into a modernised kitchen/meals area with gas stove, the beginnings of a bathroom and laundry renovation with the combination of two toilets, a basin, a shower and additional plumbing between the two rooms, an arbour and a secure carport. The west facing rear garden has a large garage, shed and some fruit trees/vines giving you room to extend or add a pool in time. Restore the character, renovate with a touch of today, extend into the roofline to retain the verandahs or add a guest house in the rear garden; subject to council approval. In the original Trafalgar Estate, this restorer’s dream is a short walk to Sandringham Village with its selection of cafes, restaurants, wine bars, boutiques, the train station, bus services and shopping essentials, minutes to Sacred Heart Primary School, Sandringham Primary School, the Acorn Patch, Bamfield Playground and the stunning beaches and coastal trails. A beautiful opportunity to create your forever family home in this desirable pocket.
