33 Emerald Street, Essendon West, Vic 3040

Perched on a leafy family hillside and claiming every advantage of its prestige postcode, this immaculately kept, impeccably presented residence offers contemporary class, refined comfort, and sun-splashed simplicity.

With a garage and driveway for up to 2 cars off-street, clever separation of upstairs accommodation and main areas below, and pristine parkland in place of a back neighbour, the home is a turnkey standout shaped around family life. An open stairwell and sequence of windows bring light and verve to an inviting entrance hall, introducing a two-user study and eastern courtyard en route to a rear domain made for entertaining. High-end Bosch appliances and a walk-in pantry enhance a kitchen topped in durable stone, while living and dining spaces spill out to a decked alfresco, low-maintenance garden, and McWilliams Park serving as the best backyard kids could ever ask for.

Extensive robe space, a chic master ensuite, and central bathroom with a bathtub accompany primary, guest, and third bedrooms, joined upstairs by a sun-soaked northern retreat and window-side lounge brilliant for an afternoon with a novel. Reverse-cycle heating/cooling, ducted vacuum, city glimpses, keypad entry, water temperature control, an alarm, downstairs powder room, and oversized laundry all add to the appeal, with St Bernard’s seconds away, river trails and lifestyle hubs nearby, and trains, trams, and freeways streamlining city access.
