With Werribee River’s walking and bike tracks a ball toss away, this Victoriana tribute is in a blue-ribbon spot and has all the interior period detail on show.
The story begins in the entry hall, laid with rich Sydney blue gum floorboards, which has corbelled arches, ornate cornices and rosettes on high ceilings, stepped skirts and dado rails bisecting softest blue and cream paint work.

One of the arches defines entry to the lounge room where décor and period detail continue and a gas log fire with traditional surround brings wintertime cosiness when gathered with friends, away from family busyness.
The large carpeted main bedroom, opposite, has a traditionally dressed bay window, a walk-through robe and an en suite with walk-in shower and enclosed toilet.
Another fitted bedroom neighbours the lounge room, while two more flank laundry and bathroom in another hallway. Matching the en suite, the spacious main bathroom has white subway wall tiles and tessellated-look black and white floor tiles.
The expansive and comfortable living domain, where those lovely floorboards are the anchor, has a trio of designer pendants suspended from rosettes, and double-glazed windows dressed in streamlined fashion.
The kitchen, with a stack of white vinyl-wrap panelled cabinetry topped with charcoal laminate, has an island bench under a utensil hanging rack, a dishwasher and a gas upright cooker, as well as a pair of open shelves for displaying bits.
Included indoors are ceiling fans, split-system and a fab amount of storage.
An integrated alfresco space looks out to very pretty gardens and the double garage has drive-through access to a trailer parking spot.
A 3kW solar system, water tank, 20 Amp single-phase power point and aluminium gutter guards are other ingredients of this excellent property. The block is about 685 square metres.
