32 Westbourne Grove, NORTHCOTE VIC 3070

This free standing block-fronted 1890s residence has been sympathetically renovated and extended for family living in a prime position close to tram and train transport, schools, Westgarth Village and High Street cafes. The house, set behind an immaculately landscaped garden, is entered from a verandah with deep iron lacework. Opening from the wide arched hallway are four very large bedrooms, all with open fireplaces -- one of these might be used as a formal sitting room and an ultra spacious bathroom, with clawfoot bath, separate shower and period-style vanity unit. The high-ceilinged extension to the rear incorporates a superbly-appointed kitchen (with concealed laundry, integrated appliances and soft-touch cabinetry), overlooking well-proportioned living and dining rooms. Sets of French doors flow from the living room to the back verandah and the delightful paved rear garden, which includes a timber storage shed. Features of this light-filled property include ornate plasterwork and other Victorian detail, polished timber floors, ducted heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning, alarm system and potential OSP via ROW.
