8 Elder Parade, Essendon, Vic 3040

With extraordinary space and countless comforts to complement rich heritage, this renovated prize proves the perfect base for a large family, bringing serenity-backed luxury to Essendon’s leafy heart. Wrapped in gardens curated over decades to be both invigorating and low-maintenance, an ultra-wide stance keeps the elegance and prominence it’s held for more than a century; the ideal introduction to interiors where history and modernity go hand-in-hand.

Ceilings soar, pine lies underfoot, and various old-world details keep character the centrepiece, with green outlooks from virtually every corner weaving a touch of calm into everyday life. An inviting hallway turns a corner, introduces a substantial lounge and wine/storeroom, and links a memorable entrance to a scintillating rear domain taking hospitality in its stride.

• Timeless home wrapped in greenery
• Renovated to cater for a large family
• 3 living areas, Bosch/Asko kitchen
• Gardens for entertaining and relaxing
• Abundant storage, parking for three

Upscale Bosch and Asko appliances, swathes of stone, and a walk-in pantry all feature in a home chef’s dream kitchen, while living and dining areas highlight the sheer space on offer, soak in all-day sun, and merge seamlessly with the outdoors. A Sunday barbecue, sunset cocktail, and morning espresso are sublime in a north-facing alfresco, wrapping around to a backyard great for kids and wisteria retreat for an afternoon lost in a book.

A chic, skylit bathroom, extensive storage, and a walk-in robe plus ensuite with a bathtub in a first-class master serve a trio of ground-floor bedrooms, while above, a sun-drenched third living area and oversized bedrooms four and five give a family all the space it could ever need. Other highlights include abundant robe, roof, and general storage, heating and cooling, security, a full-size laundry, large shed, and parking for three, while Rose Street, Buckley Street, and North Essendon lifestyle hubs, Lincoln Park farmers markets, Essendon Station, St Therese’s Primary, and the Maribyrnong River sit just steps away.
