'Annandale' Circa 1890 A residence of significant historic value, 'Annandale' showcases c1890's Victorian elegance and grace that is irreplaceable. While the home has undergone some refurbishment, the charm and character of its day has been respectfully retained, from the stunning faade with its laced verandah, through to the high ceilings, ornate cornices, rosettes, timber doors and floorboards and wide architraves.Its solid, tuckpointed red brick frame envelops a refreshed interior, with the central hallway leading to three generous bedrooms, two of which have original fireplaces.Typical of its era, the living room is centrally located and warmed by a gas heater within a timber mantel; an inviting space in which to enjoy a nice glass of Shiraz.The kitchen with breakfast bench, glass splash-backs and freestanding stainless steel cooker oversees the family/meals area.There is a stylishly renovated bathroom with powder room and separate laundry.The large backyard is a garden oasis with two-way fireplace servicing the alfresco area. The 66sqm approx. garage with workshop, storage and toilet plus side driveway for extra parking is a dream come true for the tradesperson or car enthusiast.Rear ROW access is provided by an incredibly wide laneway that backs onto G.H Mott Reserve, a sprawling park that includes a sports ground and play gym for kids.A permit is available to build a 3-bedroom townhouse at the rear of the 500 square metre approx. allotment, and with a location that's just a leisurely stroll to cosmopolitan High Street's shopping and cafe strip, tram, train stations and Preston Market, this is a prestige opportunity that is impossible to ignore.Agent: Woodards Thornbury
