7 Somerset Place, Windsor, Vic 3181

With all its original, circa-1900 character tastefully complemented by a more contemporary and light-letting alfresco extension, this solid-brick, two bedroom Victorian residence is the quintessential urban hideaway in a peaceful cul de sac that is merely moments from Chapel Street. Set under soaring ceilings with an arched hallway, traditional fireplaces and original Baltic Pine flooring, the home transitions to a contemporary open-plan rear where natural northern light and indoor-outdoor connections are a clear priority and the possibility for upward extension is particularly enticing (STCA).

Flowing past a pair of generously sized and freshly carpeted and painted bedrooms – each with large, floor-to-ceiling built-in robes and traditional fireplaces – the home culminates in an open-plan kitchen / dining / living where the soaring ceiling height continues and a strategic bank of north-facing windows introduce brilliant light. Two sets of concertina doors extend the open-plan outdoors to a pair of courtyards for private alfresco entertaining and BBQing whilst added highlights of this ready-to-be-enjoyed home include an atrium-style light well in a bathroom / laundry with plenty of storage, hardwood flooring in the open-plan, solar power and electric heating.

Simply stroll around the corner from this remarkably peaceful street to immerse yourself in all the vibrant cafes, fine dining, thriving nightlife and street culture of Chapel Street’s edgy Windsor end, plus you have the vast open expanses of Alma Park nearby, the Astor Cinema, multiple tram routes and effortless city commuting from Windsor Railway Station.
