THE DEAL

Serenity, prestige, and a community atmosphere see Moonee Ponds adored citywide, with this completely reimagined Edwardian a spacious, versatile, and practical entertainer that’s tailor-made to be the ideal family forever-home.

Established gardens, a white-picket fence, and details dating back over a century make for an unforgettable street stance, while interiors beyond prove as functional as they are inviting. Two large, ground-floor bedrooms are well-served by a luxe bathroom with a walk-in shower and Victoria + Albert soaker bath, while a second-storey study area, skylit main bathroom with a second bath, and city-viewing fourth and fifth bedrooms all accompany a first-class master with a walk-in robe, elegant ensuite, and northern sun streaming in at all hours.

Capable of hosting even the largest gatherings, a vast lower living/dining area wraps around to meet a kitchen that couldn’t be better suited to the passionate cook, with top-of-the-range Smeg and Bosch appliances joined by stone benches, a walk-in pantry, and servery windows to a dream-backyard. With multiple heating/cooling systems for year-round comfort, other standouts include spotted-gum floors, garden lighting and irrigation, various old-world features, a storeroom, alarm, laundry, and electric-gated parking for two (front and rear).

Seconds to Moonee Ponds Primary, the local park, and creek trail for bike rides to Docklands, it’s only metres to brunch spots Brother Hen, Mr Walker, BAM, and Convoy, great food at Il Caminetto and TOTE, Queens Park’s pool and picnic areas, CityLink, Mt Alexander Road’s 59 Tram, and Puckle Street’s new Palace Cinema, boutique retail, diverse cuisine, and thriving nightlife.

SEALS THE DEAL

A mains-gas barbecue kitchen is a stellar addition to an oversized alfresco, while gas and solar pool/spa heating and sun from dawn to dusk mean lifestyle appeal is truly unmatched.
