161 Finch Street
Glen Iris

A much loved family home of 50 years in one of the area's premier tree lined streets, this classic freestanding Edwardian residence is replete with character and a treasure trove of features with an outstanding opportunity to renovate or re build on an expansive block of 672 sq m approx. (STCA).

Entirely comfortable now, it is ideal to live in while considering plans to renovate and extend or rebuild within the private leafy northwest facing garden. Setting the tone with its glorious high ceilings and majestic arch, the generous entrance hall flows through to a gracious sitting room beneath a captivating original timber panelled ceiling and the equally elegant formal dining room with a bay window. The beautifully proportioned main bedroom is also capped with a highly ornate ceiling. There are two additional double bedrooms, a sunny fourth bedroom or home office with west-facing balcony and two bathrooms. The inviting family room served by a well-equipped kitchen loaded with storage options opens to the private leafy northwest garden.

Prized for its close proximity to Central Park, Harold Holt Pool, trams, High Street shops and cafes and a range of schools, it also features three original fireplaces, ducted heating, air-conditioners, laundry, garden shed, auto gate and tandem carports.
