5A Rugby Road, Hughesdale, Vic 3166

Brimming with a compelling sense of opportunity on a rewarding, north-facing allotment of 480 square metres (approx.), this free-standing 2 bedroom Victorian residence marries its original cottage-like charm with a sun-drenched and private yard that evokes the feeling of a tropical oasis. 

Superbly situated in a family-friendly location just a short distance from schools, public transport, and local shopping precincts, this dwelling is perfect for everyone from singles, couples, and families, through to downsizers looking for a single-level home of supreme convenience.

Passionately renovated within lovingly tended gardens, it has a pretty, picture-perfect street presence with a block-fronted façade and heritage-styled fretwork, before opening up to reveal a lounge and hallway area featuring the soaring ceilings of its era. Having carpet and Baltic Pine underfoot, the home also boasts central ducted heating, amply proportioned bedrooms, and a bathroom/laundry that is conveniently separate from the toilet. 

Tastefully updated along its journey, the home culminates in a light-filled kitchen with gas cooking, semi-attached dining, and an entertainment-friendly connection to the backyard. Perfectly north-facing and delightfully shaded by established foliage, the backyard is a private and secure sanctuary that is a dream setting in which to both entertain and relax.

Meanwhile, at the rear of the block, what was originally an oversized double garage currently serves as a huge workshop and storage area, further enhancing the true potential of this property. With its generous proportions and versatility, this space could easily be transformed into a studio, office, or additional living area, catering to a variety of lifestyle needs.

Whilst this wonderful home is perfectly comfortable today, it has enormous scope for adding a single/double-story extension or rebuilding at your leisure (STCA).
The future looks particularly bright in this peaceful street just moments from the vibrancy of the Oakleigh restaurant scene, the relaxed charm of Hughesdale’s cafés and bars, as well as the extensive experiences on offer at Chadstone Shopping Centre.
