292B Station St, Chelsea, Vic 3196

There is something uplifting about a building with a history of service to the community whose spaces have been repurposed and recycled instead of facing demolition. Such a building is the old Chelsea Ambulance Station which has been reimagined as a residence, one of a pair. With its 20th century features of high ceilings and generous, occasionally quirky spaces, it lends itself admirably to a single-level, three-bedroom family home.

With secure intercom entry, one enters the home through a bright hallway with an engineered timber floor which also accesses the double tandem garage. Arriving through a study area into a generous living/dining space with a bank of windows on both the east and west sides which let in plenty of light, one is struck by the open airy feel of the home with its freshly painted walls and elegant Tasmanian Oak floors.

These extend through a hallway down to the spacious, light-filled bedrooms which are carpeted for added comfort. With built-in cupboards in the bedrooms and linen-presses in the living area and hallway, there is plenty of storage throughout. A separate toilet and modern tiled bathroom with a separate bath and shower, including the added luxury of a heated towel rail, service the living areas. Heating and cooling in the home is provided by split systems in the living and bedrooms and overhead heating in the bathroom.

The separate tiled kitchen off the living area is a contemporary galley-style with generous storage cupboards and food preparation spaces incorporating a Westinghouse electric stove and an LG dishwasher. A separate laundry allows access to a side drying courtyard with large water storage tanks. With an opening door from the living room into the garden, there are two expansive west and north facing areas providing possibilities for creative expression for the outdoor entertainer and keen gardener, as well as prized outdoor space for a growing family.

Within easy proximity of Port Phillip Bay as well as Chelsea’s vibrant shopping and cafe hub and good neighbourhood schools, all served by public transport, this admirably located property offering a relaxed lifestyle is ready for move-in and is not to be missed.
