3/268 MacKenzie Street, Golden Square, VIC 3555 Period features shine in outstanding renovation

This new listing in the leafiest part of Mackenzie Street boasts one of the best transformations of a period home you're likely to see. Beautifully renovated, styled and presented to perfection, it's a pleasure to view and oh so easy to imagine making it your own.

Set well back from the street behind a shady oak and a white picket fence, the front lawn is perfect for p?tanque. Enjoy the space from the wide, lofty porch; the ideal morning coffee spot to witness the neighbourhood wake.

Step inside the home and be delighted by the perfect blend of period features and contemporary fittings. The loungeroom welcomes you with the trademark features of the era; high ceilings, decorative cornice, wide skirting boards and original windows. Plus, a gleaming mirrored timber mantelpiece. Split system heating and cooling, ducted cooling and ceiling fans bring modern comfort throughout.

There are three beautiful bedrooms here. The front room has a walk-in robe, a deep-set window with wide sill, and a pull down ladder with attic access.

The second bedroom has a full wall of built-in cupboards, and a high-style ensuite with floating timber-topped vanity, floor-to-ceiling tiles, and a wide, open shower with an arched, fluted and frosted screen.

The central kitchen is the character-filled heart of the home. Look behind to find a wall of exposed stone and brickwork, revealing the layers of history within the home. All black cabinets were an excellent choice, contrasting with stone and natural timber benches, and a timber splashback. A black freestanding Ilvey stove is a standout, plus there is a dishwasher and fully fitted pantry behind bi-fold doors. The original woodfired oven has thankfully been retaining within its brick alcove.

The third bedroom at the back of the home has a skillion roofline and is ideal for children, guests, or use as a home office. There is a second bathroom and combined laundry, equally as lovely as the ensuite.

Outside, secure carparking is courtesy of a space beside the front yard, and a single carport with roller door behind the home, which has easy access to the property through a back gate. Retaining walls support a flourishing kitchen garden that wraps around the perimeter.

A side entertainment area with chunky timber framing has a growing grapevine that will only get better with time. There are a couple of water tanks to help maintain the fully landscaped surrounds.

Walk to the local supermarket, the Foundry Hotel, the Golden Square football oval and community pool, plus enjoy the convenience of being just 2.5km from the CBD.

This very special, bespoke home truly is a one off, meaning you'll need to be quick to view.
