8 Commercial Road, Footscray VIC 3011

Rich in c1918 character, complemented by an allotment measuring some 729m2 on a beautiful street that deserves its billing as one of Footscray's finest, this evocative Edwardian conveys period personality and rewarding potential in equal measure. Four bedrooms, each defined by classical proportions beneath original high ceilings, surround a huge living or dining room that's filled with northern light while a substantial separate kitchen includes a generous meals area. A fully functional second kitchen, serviceable bathroom and large separate laundry lead to the rear garden's sunny expanses, also reached by a wide side drive. The depth and width of the backdrop inspires ideas for a fabulous family renovation as well as providing the option for reviving this enticing property's expired sub-division permit - with townhouse plans available, STCA.
