51 William Street, Essendon, Vic 3040

Rich with character and ripe with potential, this classic Californian resides among eminent homes and vast holdings, providing boundless scope for a reimagining or ground-up rebuild (subject to council approval) in the magnificent Mar Lodge estate.

With capacity to become one of Essendon’s finest abodes, a timeless Bungalow facade showcases the distant setback, bay and leadlight windows, and broad veranda typical of its inter-war origins, with an inviting foyer’s timber fretwork and parquetry making a lasting impression. Lounge, dining, and family areas offer welcomed separation, while a tidy central bathroom and master ensuite service four generous bedrooms. Featuring a lock-up garage, sizeable shed, and plentiful room for kids to play, a substantial backyard highlights the parcel’s scale, while other inclusions span a skylit kitchen with ample storage, a full-size laundry, and driveway space comfortably housing several cars.

Sharing in the leafy prestige that sees Essendon so widely sought-after, the landmark land and lifestyle prospect sits just steps from Buckley Park’s ovals, tennis courts, and playground, Keilor Road’s shops, restaurants, and city trams, and North Essendon Village’s cafés and boutiques, while near esteemed public and private schools, Essendon Station, freeways, and the Maribyrnong River.
