Renovated Character & Parkside Living in Preston

Tucked south of Bell Street on a prized corner block, this renovated brick residence offers a rare combination of period character, modern comfort and a position right beside the open green space of Collier Street's parkland and tennis courts, making it well suited to couples and young families alike.

The corner setting is what first sets this home apart. On 352 square metres, it has a sense of openness and light that neighbouring homes can't match. The park next door feels like an extension of your own backyard, whether that's a morning walk, a hit of tennis or letting the kids burn off energy after school.

Inside, the home's heritage roots come through straight away. High ornate ceilings and polished hardwood floors give it real character, while the renovation brings everything up to a modern standard of living. A generous lounge sits at the heart of the home and opens through to the dining area, creating a relaxed, connected space that works just as well for quiet nights in as it does for having friends over.

The kitchen balances good looks with everyday practicality. Stone benchtops and a breakfast bar give you plenty of prep space, while keeping things social so you can chat with family or guests while dinner comes together.

Both bedrooms are well proportioned, with the main bedroom offering generous space to unwind and the second bedroom flexible enough to work as a guest room, home office or nursery. Two stylish bathrooms are the real practical win here. Whether you're a couple, a young family or regularly hosting guests, having a bathroom each removes the morning rush and makes the home genuinely easy to live in.

Outside, the north-facing backyard is made for the Melbourne lifestyle, with an entertaining deck and lawn areas soaking up the sun all year. A lock-up garage with access via Collier Street keeps your car secure and off the street, another advantage of the corner position.

Comfort and running costs are covered with ducted heating, split-system heating and cooling and solar power.

The location makes everyday life easy. Preston South Primary School is close by, Plenty Road trams make city commuting straightforward, and South Preston Shopping Centre handles the daily essentials. The iconic Preston Market is also within easy reach, and it's just a 10-minute walk to Thornbury's High Street, where the cafés, restaurants and shops make for easy weekend strolls.

A character-filled, move-in ready home on a corner block with a park at its doorstep, in one of Preston's most sought-after pockets.
