2 Lunette Avenue, Preston

Dreamy family living awaits in this stunning three-bedroom weatherboard home in the heart of Preston, comprising gorgeous kitchen, light-filled living and rare generous backyard moments from the best assets of Melbourne’s inner north.

Buttermilk yellow walks, polished timber floors, ornate lighting and exquisite Art Deco ceiling roses imbue this cosy home with the kind of character-rich warmth one reminisces about for years to come.

Each living area is beautifully connected, making transitioning from one space to another seamless, while also equal parts generous and cosy – a masterful achievement.

The kitchen, bookended by the lounge and dining domains, is equipped with stainless steel appliances including freestanding cooktop, oven and dishwasher, as well as island bench and butler’s pantry. From here, you can see and easily access the stunning timber deck shaded by pergola and lush backyard. Kids will adore having plenty of room to play, while entertaining outdoors – for big events or for two – can be enjoyed year-round.

Out here there’s also a single-car garage with a large workshop, additional undercover domain outdoor projects or another entertaining area and a gorgeous brick driveway that offers security and plenty of space for two additional cars.

Back inside, the three bedrooms are serviced by a sparkling bathroom and are each a dreamy retreat in their own right. Two reside at the dwelling’s front, each with large windows and ceiling roses, and the third is down the hall via another living space. With a window enjoying a northern aspect, this space is wonderfully versatile too. Transform it into a home office, a library, a wine room or home gym – the choice is yours.

This home comes with all the modern perks, too. Think ducted heating, evaporative cooling, laundry room, fresh water tank and solar hot water.

Finally, the home’s position is exceptional. Situated on a quiet street, just a leisurely stroll from High Street’s delectable dining scene and fresh produce at Preston Market, it enjoys all the joys of inner-suburban living sans the bustling foot traffic. Shops and public transport are within easy reach, too, with Preston Station a 10-minute walk away and Northland Shopping Centre a 10-minute drive, as well as a variety of schools and parklands.

Beautifully maintained and offering a wonderful family lifestyle, this home won’t be around for long.
