35 Soudan Road

This is a home with good bones on a well held street, the kind where owners tend to stay put for the long haul. Entry level by price only, it delivers a genuine foothold in one of West Footscray's most sought after pockets, and a block with enough scope to keep its options open for years to come. The post war brick facade and chimney set the tone, carried through to an interior with the same unhurried confidence. Timber floors run through a formal living room anchored by an open fireplace, the corniced ceilings doing the rest. It's a room that doesn't need much done to it. From there the home opens into a second living and dining zone, comfortably proportioned, with a kitchen that works: timber benchtops, island bench, dishwasher, split system, and sliding doors that open straight out to the backyard. The courtyard is paved, private, shaded by a mature citrus and ringed with established plantings. People actually use it. Three bedrooms carry the same period character throughout, the master a proper size. The bathroom is central and functional, the laundry and separate WC are where they should be. There's also a dedicated bar fitted out with built in storage and wine racking, a feature that tends to get noticed. Then there's the block. Generously sized, with genuine depth and a detached rear garage, there's room to think. Move in and enjoy it exactly as it is. Leave it be and let the land work for you. Renovate and extend, or start the conversation about a knockdown rebuild, STCA. The options here are genuinely wide open. It's all walking distance to West Footscray station, Barkly Village's cafes and restaurants, Johnson Reserve and its dog park, and zoned for West Footscray Primary School. A well connected pocket that keeps drawing people in for good reason.
