42 Illawarra Street, Williamstown, Vic 3016

Beautifully positioned just one block from The Esplanade and within moments’ walk to the Williamstown Botanical Gardens, this charming Victorian era residence reveals a charismatic combination of period details and modern dimensions. The leafiness of front and rear gardens provides serenity, scenery and birdsong in addition to the privacy that complements engaging spaces that commence with an evocative façade and an elegant arched hall beneath an original pressed metal ceiling. A living room featuring its own pressed metal ceiling, hardwood floors and classical fire-place leads to three double bedrooms, one distinguished by a wonderful original bluestone feature wall and a second lovely fire-place, arranged around a distinctive central bathroom. The dining area and its accompanying kitchen, equipped with a fabulous free-standing Smeg oven, reveals the gorgeous garden backdrop of this delightful, desirable address – further enhanced by heating/cooling, attic storage and irresistible, irrepressible character.
