20 Lorne Street, Moonee Ponds, Vic 3039

Rich in character and beautifully considered, this circa 1895 residence brings together the warmth of its Victorian origins with a sophisticated renovation designed for modern living.

Beyond its distinctive period façade, the home immediately reveals the details that make it special. Original tessellated tiles lead through an arched hallway, while soaring ceilings, intricate cornices and beautifully preserved period features give the interiors a sense of history that has been carefully retained rather than recreated. Engineered American oak flooring brings a natural warmth throughout, complementing the home's soft, refined palette.

Two generous bedrooms sit towards the front of the home, including a main bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the second bedroom is framed by a beautiful bay window. Walking further through the home, the living room is a particularly welcoming space, with its decorative fireplace and custom-built glass-fronted display cabinetry adding both practicality and personality.

At the rear, the home opens into a light-filled kitchen and dining space that feels contemporary while retaining its original character. Stone benchtops, an integrated refrigerator, and ASKO appliances, which are paired with a white fluted farmhouse sink for a finish that feels polished without being overdone.

French doors extend the dining area into the landscaped rear courtyard, creating an easy connection between indoors and out. Professionally designed gardens, plus electric outdoor blinds and automatic irrigation, make the space feel practical as well as beautiful, with the separate brick outbuilding providing secure off-street parking and additional storage.

Beautifully restored where it mattered and thoroughly updated everywhere else, 20 Lorne Street is a home that feels established rather than newly finished, full of character, considered details, and spaces that are simply welcoming to live in.
