126 Athol Street, Moonee Ponds, Vic 3039

THE DEAL
Perched among a prized pocket skirting the Maribyrnong River, this haven of style and substance pairs period grace with modern flair, promising a supreme standard of architectural luxury on one of Moonee Valley’s most exclusive streets.

Shrouded in greenery, an enticing, elevated façade introduces an inspired interior where old-world details in sash windows, a brick fireplace, hallway arch, and ornate ceilings complement contemporary comforts. Three substantial bedrooms give a young family room to grow into, accompanied by walk-in and built-in robes, a chic main bathroom with a clawfoot bath, and ensuite to a luxe master. Reached via a spiral staircase, a mezzanine retreat glances across the expanse of a light-filled main area, with vast living and dining zones flanking a gourmet kitchen boasting a 900mm Smeg cooker, Westinghouse dishwasher, splashback subway tiles, profuse soft-close cabinetry, sleek stone benches, and a walk-in pantry. With French doors making indoor-outdoor hospitality a joy, a completely private yard soaks in all-day northern sun, while other highlights of the home include spotted-gum floors, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, Eufy security, a European laundry, ample street parking, and zoning for acclaimed Moonee Ponds West Primary.

Moments from elite private schools in Lowther Hall, PEGS, St Columba’s, St Bernard’s, and Ave Maria to name a handful, an exceptional location places local favourites Darling Street Espresso and Lennox St Deli, Moonee Ponds Station, always-vibrant Puckle Street and Union Road, and the Maribyrnong River within easy walking distance.

SEALS THE DEAL
A feature cathedral ceiling soars 6.5m above the main entertaining area, making room for oversized windows, attracting brilliant natural light, and creating an immense feeling of space.
