19 Fifth St, Parkdale VIC 3195, Australia
Old-world charm meets contemporary comfort – and lots of potential – at this character-filled period residence in Parkdale’s prized numbered street precinct.
Occupying a generous north-facing allotment of approx. 697sqm, the home’s classic facade opens to interiors that are warmed by glossy hardwood floors and crowned with beautiful decorative ceilings.
Tastefully renovated over the years, with a floor plan that is both spacious and flexible, the up-to-five-bedroom, three bathroom abode includes a choice of living/dining areas as well as a well-equipped timber kitchen with Smeg cooking appliances and a Bosch dishwasher.
Downstairs, one of the bedrooms, a bathroom and versatile office/sitting room can be shut off from the rest of the house, giving options for private in-law accommodation. The ensuited master bedroom is also positioned on the ground floor while three more bedrooms, a retreat/study area and third bathroom are tucked away upstairs in a zone of their own – perfect for kids or teens.
Among the home’s requisite practicalities are ducted heating, evaporative cooling and split systems along with a double garage with storage area – the latter guarded by a pair of cute topiary kangaroos.
Close to Parkdale village and station and within an easy stroll of Mentone’s private schooling options, this beachside-of-the-highway address is close to Thrift Park shopping centre, bus stops, parks and the bay. It is also in the sought-after Parkdale Secondary and Mentone Girls Secondary College zones.
