5A Rugby Road, Hughesdale, Vic 3166

Brimming with a compelling sense of future opportunity on a rewarding, north-facing allotment of 480 square metres (approx.), this freestanding 2 bedroom Victorian residence marries its original cottage-like charm with a sun-drenched and private backyard that evokes the feeling of a tropical oasis. Superbly situated in a family-friendly location just a short walk from both Hughesdale Village and Chadstone Shopping Centre, this is perfect for everyone from families looking to lay some long-term roots through to downsizers looking for a single-level home of supreme convenience.

Nestled within lovingly tended gardens, the home creates a pretty, picture-perfect, street presence with a block-fronted façade and heritage styled fretwork, before opening up to reveal the soaring ceilings of its era. Tastefully updated along its journey, the home culminates in a subway-tiled kitchen with gas cooking, semi-attached dining and an entertaining’-friendly connection to the backyard - all of which is well-removed from the lounge room which is set at the front of the home. 

Set under soaring ceilings and with Baltic Pine underfoot, the home also reveals amply proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom / laundry that is conveniently separate to the wc. Meanwhile, at the rear of the block, what was originally an oversized double garage currently serves as a huge workshop and further underlines the true potential of this wonderful home.

Perfectly north-facing and delightfully shaded by established foliage, the backyard is a private and sun-drawing sanctuary that is a dream setting in which to entertain friends, or simply to sit and ponder the home’s future potential. 

Indeed, whether your tastes run to renovating a period classic, extending into its sundrenched backyard or the construction of your brand new forever home, the future looks particularly bright in this peaceful street just moments from Chadstone Shopping Centre as well as all the cafes, bars and relaxed charm of Hughesdale Village where city-bound trains are also a wonderful convenience.
