Blackburn South 9 Gissing Street

If homes could talk, this gracious 4 bedroom weatherboard residence would surely have a story to tell, being the original farmhouse of the area in a time when orchards were the primary industry of the now Eastern Suburbs.

Today, renovated throughout to standards affording a very comfortable modern lifestyle, this charming home fortunately retains its character and a romantic sense of times past.

Set privately behind a high fence on a substantial corner block and surrounded by manicured gardens, the home features a wide wrap-around verandah and a deep front garden with both pedestrian and car entry to the enormous 2 car auto garage being from Brazeel Street.

The formal living and dining room features rich timber floors, timber wall paneling, decorative 10 foot ceilings and leadlight feature doors to the verandah, which may have been the original front entrance to the home.

The main bedroom provides a full wall of wardrobes and opens to the dual entry bathroom showcasing tessellate tiles, claw-foot bath and pedestal basin. 2 further bedrooms offer ample space as family bedroom/studies and a 4th bedroom at the rear could serve well as guest accommodation with an ensuite and study.

The kitchen enjoys a verdant outlook through large windows and features solid timber cabinetry, quality appliances and a time capsule walk-in pantry, whilst the adjoining family/meals area provides a second comfortable living space.

Also gas ducted heating, split system air-conditioning, security alarm, internal garage entry, cubby house and garden shed. Minutes to Blackburn Station and Village, Blackburn South shops, St Luke's and Orchard Grove Primary Schools, parks, bus and Forest Hill Chase.
