951 Park Street

At the leafy, quieter end of Park Street, this elevated mid-century home enjoys a bright north-facing rear garden and light-filled living spaces. Comfortable as it stands, the home also presents clear scope for renovation or extension, subject to Council approval. The layout offers generous proportions and a sense of space that is increasingly hard to find. A separate lounge and dining room sit at the centre of the home, where a fireplace adds warmth to the living space. The kitchen includes a meals area and offers a practical space for everyday family life, while a large sunroom provides a relaxed place to read, work or simply enjoy the garden outlook. It includes two spacious bedrooms with large built-in robes and leafy outlooks, along with a third bedroom. Retaining a hint of its retro charm, the central bathroom is neat and functional with terrazzo flooring, a bath, separate shower and separate toilet. Downstairs, a flexible space works well as a rumpus room, workshop or home office. Outside, the deep rear garden features paved entertaining areas surrounded by established greenery, along with a collection of fruit trees including fig, mandarin, lemon, apple and pomegranate, and ample space for a vegetable garden. Ducted heating and evaporative cooling provide year-round comfort, while a lock-up garage with additional storage and an undercover carport offer practical off-street parking. A large family laundry with a second toilet adds further convenience. Peaceful and light-filled, this is a home with warmth, space and possibility, set in a well-established pocket at the Parkville fringe within walking distance of local shops, public transport, parklands, Royal Park Golf Course and Melbourne Zoo, with easy access to the freeway.
