20 Florence Street, Essendon, Vic 3040

Form and function meet style and substance in this contemporary lifestyle retreat, offering a refined take on easy-care luxury in Essendon’s exclusive, leafy heart.

Facing one of the suburb’s premier, ultra-wide streets with St Therese’s Tennis Club, Primary School, and Parish directly opposite, the home’s infinitely practical plan separates lower-level accommodation from upstairs hospitality, with three broad bedrooms joined by mirrored robes, a master ensuite, and chic main bathroom with a soaker tub. A raked ceiling, highlight windows, and all-day rays enliven upper living and dining zones, spilling onto a covered terrace perfect for a social drink after dark or family barbecue on a Sunday afternoon. A Westinghouse dishwasher and 900mm cooker, waterfall island, and plumbed fridge cavity feature in a stone-top, gourmet kitchen, while other highlights include reverse-cycle heating and cooling, sheer curtains, stone vanity tops, a peaceful back courtyard, alarm, full-size laundry, shed, upstairs powder room (third WC), remote-controlled garage, and electric-gated driveway space.

A low-maintenance gem without any shared land or owners corporation, it’s just footsteps to North Essendon Village and Rose Street shops, cafés, and restaurants, Essendon Station and the 59 tram for easy CBD access, and monthly farmers’ markets at Lincoln Park, while near river trails, CityLink, DFO, zoned Buckley Park College/Essendon Primary, and elite private schools.
