17 McPhail Street, Essendon, Vic 3040

Melding period allure with contemporary appeal, this beautifully situated three bedroom, two bathroom Victorian proves to be more than first meets the eye. Beyond a picket fence and roses the freestanding home leads past two large bedrooms, with built-in robes and period features, before arriving at its open plan heart. Living and dining zones complement a modern kitchen flaunting waterfall stone surfaces and appliances from Smeg and Bosch. A French door frames views of the elegant landscaped garden, highlighting a covered entertaining area and picturesque trees. Enjoying the first floor to itself, the main bedroom highlights a cathedral ceiling with exposed beams, walk-in robe and ensuite. High ceilings, rosettes, ornamental fireplaces, leadlight, Baltic pine floorboards, heating/air conditioning, a garden shed and attic storage stand high on a long list of further strengths. Ideally close to trains, a number of renowned schools and cafes, it's within easy reach of shopping precincts including North Essendon Village and Puckle Street.
