163 Melville Road, Pascoe Vale South

A step back in time, this character-filled three-bedroom classic with Art Deco features, zoning for Strathmore College and land approx. 533sqm offers a rare blank canvas for aspiring period home renovators and investors alike (subject to council approval). Charmed by leadlight front doors, ornately plastered high ceilings, picture rails and tapestry brick fireplaces, a versatile floor plan consists of separate lounge room and central living room opening through French doors to a dining room. Towards the rear of the home is the neat and tidy kitchen, with vintage cabinets, bench tops and Westinghouse side-by-side gas stove/oven, presenting in pristine original condition. A sunroom/study, covered outdoor area, comfortable bedrooms, original bathroom with shower/bath and pedestal basin, separate laundry, w/c, and gated side driveway/OSP to a generous back garden with huge potential completes this intriguing picture. Within strolling distance of Bell Street and Melville Road Junction shops, cafés, trams and Shore Reserve, it's also close to schools, shopping centres and CityLink.
