6/35 Grieve Parade, Altona, Vic 3018

The perfect example of a property that provides first home owners, investors or downsizers with an opportunity to appreciate all the rewards they seek, this inviting dual level townhouse enjoys its own frontage and independent entrance from Blyth Street. Its proximity to Altona Esplanade, the water, Somers Parade shops, Pier Street and schools illustrates the wide ranging appeal of an address where original character, enduring comfort and bayside convenience are beautifully combined. A paved courtyard provides a private introduction to downstairs spaces for living and dining that retain the home’s impressive polished parquetry and flow to an open-plan kitchen where the originality of the fittings and finishes reflects the style of their era. Exposed brick walls, a timber staircase and the presence of more beautifully preserved parquetry further confirm the classic personality of a design featuring two upstairs double bedrooms and a well-maintained bathroom fitted with a separate bath and shower. A rear courtyard retreat and allocated car parking add to the identity of this engaging, enticing townhouse, enjoyable in its traditional condition, easily given a contemporary makeover whenever so desired.
