60 Pentland Parade, Yarraville

An elegant free-standing Edwardian that conveys the character of its period and projects welcoming present day comfort, this three bedroom home's current attraction is matched by the rewarding potential it provides for applying contemporary concepts when so desired.

The combination of past, present and future appeal is hugely complemented by a location that's acknowledged as one of the inner city's most desirable settings, walking distance to (or from) both Seddon and Yarraville villages and train stations, within a total of 20 minutes to reach the city centre. A quiet street featuring friendly neighbours and a fabulous sense of supportive community is highlighted by the fact that literally everyone knows each other – and the street Christmas parties are sensational!

A façade that retains all the personality of the Edwardian era establishes the warmly welcoming mood that extends throughout. Once inside, the entrance hall's original timber floors, high ceilings and fretwork introduce two of the format's three bedrooms, all of which feature traditional floorboards and high ceilings of their own. The central living and dining space maintains the message of classical character and complete current day comfort while the separately zoned kitchen reflects the enduring user friendliness of previous updating.

The central bathroom, similarly defined by a pleasing sense of style and pristine presentation, is complemented by a second toilet to the rear. Beyond, the garden backdrop reveals a paved patio, mature palm trees, a laundry/storage shed and enticing depth. Such dimensions inspire ideas for enjoying this exceptional address today – and contemplating options for renovating when the mood or the moment feels right, STCA. Regardless of time frame, this is a home and a location that guarantees a rewarding experience.
