20 Shaftesbury Street, Essendon, Vic 3040

In room auction, Wednesday 23rd September at 6pm to be held at Jellis Craig Moonee Valley office. Level 1, 1070 Mt Alexander Road, Essendon.

Crafted in the classic English attic style with rich, preserved character and adaptations shaped around the modern day, this extended Windy Hill prize offers a warm and welcoming family environment with stirring options for the future.

Striking a stance full of provenance and stature, a timeless façade preludes an interior where Queen Anne expression fosters elegance and grandeur. Ceilings soar overhead, box-bay windows stage garden outlooks, and elaborate fretwork, leadlight glass, fireplaces, picture rails, and Baltic pine floors headline a list of details keeping heritage forefront, with front master and study/guest rooms, a broad dining room, and formal sitting room prefacing family, lounge, and kitchen areas in a light-filled back domain. Up and downstairs bathrooms, abundant storage throughout, and second-storey bedrooms three, four, and five deliver flexibility across levels, while an alfresco deck spills into a backyard kept refreshingly low-maintenance with its studio, garage, and easy access via a wide side driveway (at least four cars comfortably off-street).

Promising comfort today, scope for a gradual update, and room for a redesign bringing cutting-edge smarts to enduring legacy, the home’s other highlights include ducted heating and vacuum, a laundry, window lounge, and zoning for Strathmore Secondary/Essendon Primary, while lifestyle hubs, city transport, the oval, and revered private schools sit moments away.
