Built in 1880s Italianate style, with tall pediment, arches and railings, this once-grand residence is ripe for restoration. An arched entrance hall opens from the verandah to a spacious sitting room or fourth bedroom. To the rear is a dining area, understair storage space and a living room open to a basic but workable kitchen. The bathroom and laundry are off the verandah at the rear, where there is a large courtyard with room for off-street parking from a right of way. Upstairs are two very spacious bedrooms and a third smaller bedroom. All the main rooms have intact period features - ceiling roses, mouldings and deep skirtings. Here is the ideal renovation//investment opportunity, close to public transport, Rathdowne Village and Melbourne University. Agent: Nelson Alexander Pty Ltd
