57 The Parade, Ascot Vale, Vic 3032

Set on a wonderfully deep allotment, this elegant 5 bedroom Edwardian displays an inspired extension and renovation delivering a first-class indoor/outdoor family lifestyle, with the unique advantage of a self-contained pool house/guestroom in one of Ascot Vale’s premier streets.

A home like no other, its bold and beautiful interior showcases four main bedrooms (all with robes) complemented by a deluxe fully-tiled ensuite and equally-stylish main bathroom with freestanding tub. The dedicated study enhances its family appeal along with an expansive open living area bathed in natural light adjoined by a gourmet kitchen with high-end European appliances and a separate formal dining room. Zoned ducted heating/cooling, high ceilings, polished concrete floors, stylish stone surfaces and plantation shutters all add to the allure, along with a family-sized laundry, comprehensive security system and two-car front off-street parking (via remote control gate). Shouting opulence with dual stacker doors reveal an alfresco entertaining area and private backyard oasis with fully-tiled solar-heated pool, tropically-inspired garden surrounds and large storeroom, plus the unmatched self-contained pool house/guestroom with its own open plan living/dining, well-appointed kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

Union Road shops, cafes, bars and restaurants around the corner, it’s also close to Ascot Vale Train Station, Maribyrnong Road/Union Road trams, Ascot Vale Leisure Centre, Maribyrnong River trails, popular schools and kinder/childcare facilities, as well as easy access to the area’s major retail precincts.
