57 Waverley Street, Essendon

Making its long-awaited return to the market after 25 years, this stately Federation Queen Anne home pairs timeless architectural presence with enhanced comfort and an effortless indoor/outdoor flow in a coveted parkside setting. Resting on a 651m² approx. corner block surrounded by a much-loved, verdant garden, the single-level property beautifully preserves soaring decorative ceilings/cornices, leadlight windows, mantled fireplaces and Baltic Pine flooring throughout its interior. The airy lounge features a leafy green outlook and generous custom cabinetry, while a separate dining room complements the sparkling kitchen/meals area updated with timber and stone surfaces. It showcases a premium Italian-made induction cooktop/electric oven, Miele dishwasher, a breakfast bar and ample soft-close cabinetry. Outdoors, a covered entertainer's balcony with automated louvres captures city glimpses as it overlooks the solar-heated lap pool and adjoining spa below. Extensive under-house storage and direct access to a remote-controlled double garage via Park Street further the appeal. What's more, robed bedrooms accompany a luxury central bathroom finished in solid marble and authentic yellow gold hardware. There is also a private two-way ensuite. Additional extras include solar power panels, multiple split-system units, ducted heating, alarm, irrigation system and a full-size laundry. Enviably positioned just steps to Clarinda Park and moments to prestigious schools such as Penleigh & Essendon Grammar, Lowther Hall, St Columba's and Ave Maria Colleges, this prime address enjoys proximity to the lush Maribyrnong River Trail, Essendon Station, buses, Rose St and Union Road shopping and café precinct, Puckle Street eateries and Highpoint retail.
