20 Bayview Terrace, Ascot Vale, Vic 3032

Relishing its placement in a revered Rothwell Hill setting, this entirely freestanding, late-Victorian gem offers scope to live in and enjoy now, lease out and personalise down the line, or harness heritage charm in a ground-up reimagining.

A wonderfully wide streetscape proves a sublime setting for the pre-Federation abode, with high, intricate ceilings and a corbelled hall arch among a suite of period details. Introducing two large, robe-lined bedrooms and a skylit central bathroom, a broad hallway winds to reach a spacious rear section, with living and dining zones placed either side of a timber-top kitchen featuring premium appliances. A substantial, completely private backyard provides abundant room for a modern extension or transformation into an outdoor entertainer’s retreat, while other highlights include timber floors, laundry facilities, heating/cooling, and driveway parking.

Sensationally positioned among one of Ascot Vale’s most exclusive avenues, it’s just steps to city/Highpoint trams, Ascot Vale Station, bustling Puckle Street, and Union Road’s famed lifestyle allures, while no more than moments to picturesque Maribyrnong River parks and trails, zoned Ascot Vale/St Mary’s Primary Schools, Flemington and Moonee Valley Racecourses, and CityLink.
