Character, Potential and a Lifestyle You'll Love

Tucked into one of Preston's most loved pockets - south of Bell Street and right on the Thornbury border, this character-filled two-bedroom home radiates warmth, charm and the sense of possibility that buyers dream of. From the moment you step inside, the light-filled lounge sets the tone, with its rich hardwood floors, large sunlit windows and classic picture rails creating a space that instantly feels lived-in, loved and deeply welcoming.

A thoughtfully designed sleeping wing branches off from the main living zone, offering two impressively scaled bedrooms, each peaceful and private. The central bathroom is functional and inviting, with a combined bath and shower and mirrored storage that adds practicality to the timeless feel of the home. Moving through to the kitchen and meals area, you'll find abundant storage and charming original features, those touches of yesteryear that so many modern homes try to replicate but can never quite capture. Here, family meals, morning coffees and everyday routines unfold with ease.

Comfort is enhanced by split-system heating and cooling, a full-size laundry with a separate toilet, and a double garage at the rear. But it's the north-facing garden that truly elevates the property - sun-drenched, beautifully matured and offering a sense of openness that's increasingly rare. With a generous 537sqm (approx.) block, the potential is undeniable: extend the existing home without sacrificing outdoor space (STCA), or retain the original home and build a second dwelling at the rear (STCA). Whether you're dreaming of expanding your living space, accommodating family or creating an investment for the future, the foundation is already here.

And then there's the location - truly second to none! A short stroll places you on High Street, surrounded by buzzing cafés, cosy wine bars, beloved restaurants and all the colour and community that defines Thornbury and South Preston. The Darebin Creek Trail invites weekend bike rides and leisurely walks, while quality schools including Thornbury High and Penders Grove Primary sit comfortably within easy reach. Station Street's conveniences, the 86 tram and Thornbury Station ensure seamless transport options in every direction.

10 Foley Avenue is more than a home - it's a canvas for your future, enriched with character, framed by lifestyle and filled with potential. A place where memories can be made, stories can begin and your next chapter can truly take shape.
