On one of Prospect's widest residential streets, this character villa, C 1880, reveals a duality that the suburb has come to do well. Boasting a blended façade of Blue Stone and rich Red Brick, the property is safely concealed behind secure fencing, with manual gates across the driveway providing access to an elongated carport with an automatic Matte Black panel roller door. Inside reveals a property where attention and care has been placed into maintaining the origins of a well loved character residence while amplifying its amenities for refined, modern enjoyment.
The front rooms hold their period detail firmly in place, while a substantial rear extension opens the home into a generous modern living space that feels both thoughtful and resolved.
Four bedrooms stem off from a central hallway framed with an ornate archway and original timber floorboards that catch the light. Fireplaces with original cast iron inserts and ceiling fans keep each room comfortable and quiet, while the master offers timber flooring and a luxurious fully tiled ensuite bathroom with his and hers vanity.
The transition from old to new happens through the sparkling kitchen. Timber-lined ceilings warm the space from above, while stone benchtops and white subway tiled splashback provide a clean and stylish culinary space supplemented by Haier integrated appliances including dual ovens, a 5-burner stove, and a dishwasher. An exposed brick wall grounds one end with texture, and a servery window connects the cook to the living and dining zone beyond.
The extension's living and dining area draws light through a bank of black-framed windows that frame the delightfully landscaped garden, softly diffused by floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains and warmed by a cosy integrated gas fireplace. A pitched ceiling gives the room height and volume that settles well against the intimate scale of the original rooms.
Outside, the alfresco stretches along the rear shaded by a sleek pergola with a built-in bar with BBQ and provisions for seating, set against a vibrant backdrop of established trees, lawn, and layered planting. The yard feels private and settled, a space that has had time to grow in, while a separate detached rumpus provides a flexible retreat, whether as a media room, second living zone, home office, gym, or fifth bedroom.
For families wanting character and a Prospect address with the living space of a modern home, 3 Gordon Road delivers both without asking for compromise. Prospect Road shopping and dining sit within comfortable reach, giving the home a lifestyle anchor that matches its designer scale.
