3 Gertrude Street, Preston

Set on approximately 413 square metres, this classic weatherboard offers a comfortable starting point with scope to add value over time. It works well as is, with the flexibility to improve when you're ready, and presents an appealing facade on a quiet street that belies its location just one block from High Street's cafés, shops and transport. The single-level layout opens from a central entry into a spacious living and dining room, connecting directly to the timber kitchen, featuring a stainless-steel oven, gas cooktop and rangehood, while radiator heating provides added comfort throughout. Sleeping space exceeds expectations for a home of this era, with four generous bedrooms sharing a bathroom with shower and toilet. Toward the rear, the laundry leads to a covered alfresco area and a deep backyard that offers plenty of room to extend (STCA) while still retaining outdoor space. Zoned for Preston South Primary School and Preston High School, and close to Sacred Heart Primary, Sacred Heart College and St John's College, the address works well for families. Preston Market, local shopping and Ray Bramham Gardens are all nearby, with Bell Street Station just 450 metres away for an easy CBD commute.
