Beautifully restored Victorian family home on the cusp of Thornbury 

Set on the cusp of Thornbury, just footsteps from Penders Park, this freestanding Victorian family home has been beautifully restored and upgraded to celebrate its late-1800s heritage while offering exceptional warmth and liveability. Standing proudly on an elevated corner block with dual frontage and ROW lane access, it boasts comfortable light-filled accommodation, a glorious north-to-rear aspect and rare potential to extend (STCA) and capture spectacular city views.

Framed by a freshly landscaped rose garden and new latticework verandah, the tuckpointed double-brick façade welcomes you into an arched hallway via the stained glass entrance, which has 3.5-metre ceilings and engineered floorboards. Here, three generous bedrooms each have a wall of bespoke built-in robes and sash windows dressed in plantation shutters. Further on is a spacious open plan living and dining zone illuminated by a recessed skylight. Overlooking the back garden is a large functional kitchen (oven, gas cooktop and Bosch dishwasher), with a modern fully-tiled bathroom and separate w/c completing the home. Step outdoors to a private sun-soaked terrace and lush tiered lawns – fantastic for entertaining guests or family time. Perched at the back of the block is a separate work-from-home space or flexible retreat.

In addition, this fully restumped home features hydronic heating, evaporative cooling, 20sqm of attic storage, electric hot water, excellent insulation, a remote-control single garage accessed from Cowper Street, and a quiet yet ultra-convenient address just a short stroll to buzzing High Street with its shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as two supermarkets, CBD trams, Thornbury station, Preston Market and great schools.
