13 Bloomfield Road, Ascot Vale, Vic 3032

A history-backed classic among beloved family surrounds, this endearing Californian offers a stirring chance to bring a vision to life and make a mark on prestigious Rothwell Hill.

With timeless forms, tuckpointed brickwork, and sculpted symmetry making a lasting impression on the tree-lined street, period details in high ceilings, picture rails, fretwork, leadlight windows, and fireplaces anchor light-filled spaces beyond – perfect foundations for a first-class rework. Three large bedrooms are joined in an adaptable interior by a tidy bathroom, full-size laundry, solid timber doors throughout, open kitchen/meals area, and expansive living room, while a deep backyard highlights the sheer space of a block measuring 613sqm (approx.). Silver birches line the back fence, a palm tree soars above, and ample room exists for a future pool, with a rear ROW streamlining construction access and broadening design potential.

Augmented with a private crossover and long driveway, the home and holding represent a rare opportunity in a pocket of such esteem, placed seconds from Ascot Vale Station and metres from the coffee, cuisine, shopping, and nightspots of Union Road. Parks and playgrounds, Ascot Vale and St Mary’s Primary Schools, the local farmers market, and Highpoint-bound 82 Tram are footsteps away, with Melbourne icons Puckle Street, Mt Alexander Road, and Newmarket close by.
