2/5 Warner Street, Essendon

Set behind a front garden and covered porch, this single-level brick villa unit pairs period-inspired detailing with a fresh, light-filled interior and a flexible layout that includes a dedicated home office. It sits in a well-connected part of Essendon, so everyday living is easy and low-maintenance, with parks, local dining and transport all close by.

The entry opens into a generous living room. Timber floorboards, ornate ceiling roses, decorative cornices and pendant lighting give it a warm, characterful feel, and large windows look out to the front garden. Split system heating and cooling keeps the space comfortable all year.

Towards the rear, the dining area sits under a statement pendant light, and a sliding door opens straight to the undercover alfresco. The kitchen next to it has crisp white cabinetry, dark benchtops with a breakfast bar, a white tiled splashback with colourful feature tiles, open shelving and tall pantry storage. Appliances include an oven, cooktop, stainless steel rangehood, dishwasher and a dedicated microwave space, with a window above the sink that overlooks the alfresco.

Both bedrooms have built-in robes. The main bedroom features timber floorboards, a ceiling fan, a ceiling rose and a bold feature wall. The second bedroom is carpeted and has its own split system.

The bathroom has hexagonal wall tiles, a walk-in shower with rainfall and hand-held showerheads, and a vanity with generous storage. A separate toilet and a separate laundry with external access completes the space.

At the rear, a carpeted office with desk space, split system and direct access to the alfresco makes a good work-from-home setup. Beside it is a storage room, which can also be reached through a roller door from the covered carport.

Outdoors, the paved undercover alfresco has a ceiling fan and looks over an easy-care lawn, an established citrus tree and a garden corner framed by greenery, a relaxed place for outdoor dining and entertaining. Additional features include a covered front porch, window blinds, downlights and a security screen door.

The home is a short distance from Woodlands Park, Salmon Reserve and Cliff Allison Park, so there is plenty of green space nearby. The cafés, restaurants and shops along Mount Alexander Road and Keilor Road cover everyday needs. For the commute, Glenbervie Station is close by, trams run along Mount Alexander Road and the Tullamarine Freeway is easy to reach. Families will appreciate being zoned for Essendon North Primary School and Strathmore Secondary College, with Buckley Park College also nearby.
