38 Bellett Street, Camberwell

The façade has character, the proportions are impressive and the possibilities are wide open. Set on approximately 590sqm in the sought-after Camberwell High School and Camberwell Primary School zones, this four-bedroom period home gives you plenty to work with, whether the plan is to enjoy it now, renovate and extend, lease it while you make decisions, or clear the way for a new family home in the future.

Inside, 3.2m ceilings lend the original rooms a wonderful sense of scale, beginning with a gracious lounge where an open fireplace, built-in shelving and a broad bay window with wraparound bench seating bring warmth and personality. Across the hall, the separate dining room offers a substantial venue for entertaining. From here, the interior gradually shifts into its more casual spaces. The kitchen includes a dishwasher and overlooks the family room, with a rumpus room beyond giving everyone even more space to spread out.

Two ground-floor bedrooms include a main bedroom opening through double doors to a sunroom that could work beautifully as a study. Upstairs, two more bedrooms take the sleeping accommodation to four. The bathroom has a bath, shower and heated towel rail, accompanied by a separate toilet and walk-in laundry, while another bench and sink just outside provides a handy utility area.

At the rear, a verandah looks across a deep garden with established greenery and a shed, giving you a good sense of just how much land there is to play with. A single carport and ducted heating complete a residence that is comfortable for now while you decide what comes next. There is enough scope here to reward the effort, whether that means keeping the existing framework and updating it, extending out back, or starting again and creating something designed entirely around the way you want to live (STCA).

Camberwell Junction, Rivoli Cinemas, trams and trains are all within reach, along with Trafalgar Road Playground and Frog Hollow Reserve, while highly regarded school zoning adds another compelling reason to think long term.
