135-137 Douglas Parade, Williamstown, Vic 3016

Quite possibly the perfect way to downsize without compromise, this charming double fronted Victorian residence reveals a beautiful balance of classical elegance and modern ease throughout inviting spaces moments from The Strand, the water and shopping. The enduring character of the period façade precedes welcoming spaces that commence with two double bedrooms, each featuring polished floorboards beneath original high ceilings. Beyond, a dining area is adjoined by an open-plan kitchen where broad benches, modern appliances and a classic cast iron stove in an evocative bluestone fire-place conveys the ongoing user-friendliness of a home that offers a generous separate living space defined by its own sense of character. An impeccably maintained bathroom completes ideal proportions against a garden backdrop advantaged by its northern aspect and second frontage to Union Street while the leafy frontage garden creates a first impression of lasting impact. Delightful today, with easy scope to further update or landscape whenever so desired, an address that’s exceptionally enticing.
