4 Foley Avenue

Preston VIC 3072

Beautifully presented and gifted with displays of light tones, modern design inclusions, retained period picture rails, cornice, classic high ceilings and polished timber flooring throughout, the contemporary rejuvenation is an intuitive example of 21st century inner-city living.

Three well-proportioned bedrooms, two with ceiling fans and BIR's provide generous accommodation for a couple or young family, while a chic central bathroom is an eye-catching statement of style.

The central kitchen is a picture of charm finished with quality appliances, gorgeous stone benchtops, walk-in pantry and in-built bench seating; a bright and comfortable rear lounge zone with feature bookcase is all chill with seamless access to the semi enclosed pergola and expansive entertaining friendly rear deck overlooking a deceptively large north-facing backyard. With double glazed patio doors and a section of the deck enclosed with caf blinds, it dramatically extends the offering of the lounge for year-round enjoyment.

Tucked away at the rear of the garden sits a highly desirable freestanding insulated bungalow, currently used as a home office and in keeping with the home's internal design: light, functional and fashionable yet unpretentious.

The entire property, from the front and rear gardens that come to life with water-friendly plantings to the 7-star energy rating, is all designed for the eco conscious. Boasting a 3.3kW of Solar PV, tier 1 panels (with a 25-year guarantee and PV system performance monitoring via the Jemena portal), Sungrow inverter (installed in 2018 with 10-year guarantee), DeLonghi European hydronic heating system installed in 2015 with eight panels that keeps you warm and snug when it's cold and wet outside, new Baxi instant hot water boiler and LG 2.5kW reverse-cycle air-conditioning unit in the lounge. Together with external window blinds, the property's heating and cooling needs have not been compromised and you can create year-round comfort control without breaking into a financial or environmental sweat.

Completing the appeal of this first-class home is the five-star location. South of Bell st and under 10km to the CBD, it sits within close proximity of the Thornbury border and is therefore central to Penders Grove Primary School, Thornbury High School, the No.86 tram, bus services, Thornbury train station, and with parks, local bars, restaurants and microbreweries all within a short stroll or cycle.

Priced to sell, this property is a significant find and ideal for your next chapter.
