From its polished original floorboards to its high 'art deco' ceilings, this one-time, historic police station combines its charming period elements with modern convenience to deliver an outstanding home. The entrance portico opens to the welcoming central hall that leads to three excellent, light-filled bedrooms (BIRs) as well as the stylish family room (feature open fire place) that flows through to the dining/living room (split system, 2nd feature open fire place) and the adjoining kitchen (island bench, bi-fold windows overlooking the rear entertainment area). There's a central modern bathroom (shower, toilet) and second rear bathroom (full bath and hidden laundry plus storage and separate toilet), plus mud room from the rear entry. The paved courtyard boasts a weather-sensitive motorised awning over the alfresco entertainment area including solar/electric spa pool and optional off-street parking space (via Warrs Road). Plus: multi-zone ducted heating, low-maintenance gardens, large full-height attic storage space (6m by 7m) via drop down ladder, 5kW solar (under warranty), recently restumped and insulated, heaps of original period features). Close to Highpoint Shopping Centre and transport, Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary schools, Maribyrnong River walk and bike tracks, parks and sports facilities - and all just 7kms from the CBD.
