48 Russell Place, Williamstown VIC 3016

Extended, expanded and updated to take advantage of its allotment's north-facing rear aspect, this free-standing single fronted Victorian's street presence retains all the essential elegance and character of its original era. Step inside, and the preserved period appeal of high ceilings, an arched entrance hall and polished floorboards creates a welcoming mood for inviting spaces that include a flexible sitting room with an open fire-place and two double bedrooms, each enhanced by built-in robes, both sharing a fully tiled bathroom featuring a separate bath and shower.

To the rear, the switch is flicked to a more modern mode as a generous living/dining area catches lots of northern light and incorporates an open-plan kitchen with a substantial island bench and ample storage. Entirely user-friendly and complete capable of meeting every current day need, the kitchen also invites ideas for a contemporary make-over whenever so desired.

On the upstairs level, the main bedroom's bright light, bay window and built-in robes accompany its exceptional proportions while a sky-lit ensuite that offers a dual vanity and floor-to-ceiling tiles serves in distinctive style. The appeal of the indoor design is matched by the comfort of split system heating/cooling units and the sunny privacy of the outdoor dimensions before a generous carport makes a major contribution to convenience, accessed by rear laneway right-of-way.

A classic Victorian that's kept pace with the times due to the ongoing success of its previous renovation and extensive expansion, the option to move in and enjoy this ideal address is matched by its straightforward scope for further value adding when the day or the desire arrives. In the meantime, and for all time, proximity to Williamstown North Primary School, North Williamstown station, shops, cafes and the beach ensure the allure – from both lifestyle and investment points of view.
