172 The Parade, Ascot Vale

Blending classic period charm with a beautifully executed modern extension, this double level weatherboard residence delivers light filled living, architectural detail, and generous family proportions in a tightly held Ascot Vale setting.

The front portion of the home retains its heritage warmth, with timber flooring, decorative cornices, and original features that honour its period character. As the home unfolds, the rear opens into a stunning contemporary living zone where natural light becomes the defining feature. A large skylight spanning the length of the living area floods the space with sunshine throughout the day, while expansive sliding glass doors create a seamless connection to the outdoor entertaining deck. Built in cabinetry and a refined material palette of timber and soft green tones complement the leafy outlook beyond.

The dining area sits adjacent to the open plan living space and is enhanced by a beautiful window seat framed by established vine growth along the fence line. This thoughtful detail creates a peaceful reading nook while drawing greenery into the heart of the home.

The kitchen is equally impressive, featuring SMEG gas cooktop and wall mounted oven for easy access, Caesarstone waterfall benchtops with marble accents, and a generous island bench ideal for family gatherings. Positioned to face a large window overlooking the vine covered fence, the space is filled with natural light and garden views, reinforcing the indoor outdoor connection.

Accommodation comprises four spacious bedrooms with plush dark carpeting, tall built in robes, high ceilings, and decorative cornices. The front bedroom showcases a stunning original fireplace and stained glass detailing, adding heritage elegance. The master suite and remaining bedrooms are generous in scale and designed for comfort.

The modern bathroom is beautifully appointed with light grey tiling, light timber cabinetry, freestanding bathtub, frameless shower, and a contemporary basin. Finishes throughout the home are cohesive and considered, blending classic and modern elements effortlessly.

Outdoor living is exceptional. The expansive timber deck flows directly from the living space, complete with built-in Weber barbecue and overhead skylights that enhance the natural warmth of the timber feature wall. The backyard is generous in size and perfectly suited to family living, offering space for entertaining, relaxing, and play.

Additional features include reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling and quality finishes throughout that reflect the thoughtful renovation.

The location delivers outstanding lifestyle convenience. Moments from Highpoint Shopping Centre, Union Road shops, and Moonee Ponds Central, everyday essentials and dining options are within easy reach. Ascot Vale Train Station provides excellent city access, while nearby schools include St Mary’s Primary School Ascot Vale, zoning for Maribyrnong College and Moonee Ponds West Primary School.
