Situated moments from Balaclava's eclectic lifestyle centre, this two-bedroom Victorian cottage has compelling appeal. Boasting a coveted dual-frontage plot, a desirable freestanding design, and the ideal blend of period character and modern comfort, this is charming urban living with prime flexibility for a future renovation or development (STCA).

Beyond a petite tessellate tiled porch, the interior is fresh, light and inviting, introducing attractive refinished solid timber floors, high ceilings and abundant natural light. Two double bedrooms - one with an ornamental fireplace and built-in robes - precede the free-flowing living and dining domain, warmed by a jetmaster gas fireplace. The kitchen is spacious, with ample room for casual dining and conversation, whilst bi-fold doors allow the indoors to spill out the rear courtyard. Its surprising dimensions offer a sun-bathed setting for alfresco entertaining and additional space for secure off-street parking via Leslie St, accessible through an auto roller door.

A modern bathroom, European laundry, and split system heating/cooling make daily living comfortable, whilst the property's future potential is an attractive consideration, highlighted by this location prized for its lifestyle convenience, with shops, cafes, transport, esteemed schools, and Alma Park within easy reach.
