'Govan's Place' - dating back to the 1870s, this landmark home was originally built as the Footscray Forrester's Lodge, and today provides a brilliant low-maintenance lifestyle opportunity with its distinctive Victorian charm, quality enhancements and exceptionally convenient location.

Add to this a versatile front lounge and adjoining dining room leading through to the contemporary-style kitchen complete with stainless-steel cooking appliances, dishwasher and ample cupboard space. Other features include gas heating, high ceilings, open fireplaces and hardwood parquetry floors, as well as an under-stair storeroom and internal laundry facilities.
