3 Gillingham Street, Preston

Picture perfect and showcasing its period pedigree through ornate ceilings, picture rails and glistening leadlight windows, this three bedroom, two bathroom Californian Bungalow promises low-maintenance lifestyle excellence in a prized south of Bell Street locale. On a low maintenance allotment, and set in one of Preston’s prettiest streetscapes and boasting easy access to Miller Village shopping, cafes and trams, this absolute charmer impresses from its tessellated tiled portico, through grandly proportioned bedrooms with robes, master with a stylish ensuite, and continues through to sundrenched open plan living. A space that nods to its 1920’s era beginnings, it features sparkling stone counters on a shaker style kitchen that boasts a full suite of Bosch appliances and connects to a paved alfresco courtyard bordered in greenery, setting the scene for a lifestyle of modern indoor/outdoor entertaining. Bathrooms are stylishly appointed, ensuite with a soaker tub and family bathroom incorporating laundry facilities, while high ceilings add a bright airy ambience to a home that includes split system heating/cooling plus additional panel heaters. Perched on the Thornbury fringe, central to Bell and Thornbury Stations, near High Street’s popular shopping and restaurant precinct, Merri Creek trails and zoned to well-regarded schools including Bell Primary, it makes an engaging first home or charismatic downsizer opportunity.
