126 Essex Street

Standing proudly on one of the suburb's finest streets, this classic Californian on a vast 1136sqm* offers rich character with stirring scope for the future. Doubtless one of the largest and most exciting home/holding pairings the street has seen for some time, possibilities border on endless, with options present to refresh before moving in, fully renovate while staying true to history, or start anew with a single landmark home or multiple statement residences to rival Pascoe Vale's best (STCA).

As it stands, the timeless abode sees security shutters and split-system heating/cooling complement bow and leadlight windows, hallway fretwork, cornices, and further period details - perfect foundations for wherever the next chapter leads. Four large bedrooms are well-served by extensive robe space, a tidy central bathroom full of retro flair, and second bathroom with an integrated laundry, while a peaceful front lounge, central kitchen/meals area, and family space spill out to a backyard facing north and brimming with potential.

A plumbed studio and fitted workshop introduce a rear section home to olive, pomegranate, mandarin, and grape trees among others, with backyard depth of more than 42m showing the sheer space on offer.

Convenient beyond compare, it's only footsteps to locals' favourite coffee spots Carson and Jack & Daisy, Cole Reserve ovals, multiple playgrounds, Gavin Park, the Westbreen Creek Trail, Gaffney Street/Railway Parade lifestyle precinct, and Pascoe Vale Station streamlining city access. Pascoe Vale Primary and Girls' College, Strathmore Secondary College (all zoned), and Essendon's colleges and grammar schools see families flock to the leafy pocket, with Coburg North Village shops, vibrant Sydney Road, and CityLink all close by.
