78 Gillies Street

Once a cherished corner shop, this delightful four-bedroom period home unfolds beyond lush garden surrounds, revealing original character and a versatile layout refined across the years. A corbelled arch hallway creates an inviting introduction, as timber floors, mantle fireplaces and high decorative ceilings, including a pressed metal design, reflect enduring charm. The airy lounge captures a north-facing verdant vista, while the immaculate kitchen/meals area boasts Smeg/Blanco appliances and stone benches. What's more, the backyard is a private oasis featuring leafy garden beds, a powered shed/workshop and OSP via Duncan Street. It comprises heat/cooling, a modern bathroom, second WC, pull-down storage and a rainwater tank. Zoned to Fairfield Primary and Thornbury High, it's moments from Station St eateries/shops, CBD train transport, Yarra River parklands and childcare.
