79 Holmes Road, Moonee Ponds.

With a deep land holding, exquisite period detail, and three private frontages, this lovingly enlivened late Victorian (c1888) offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to steer the next chapter of a local icon. Rewired, replumbed, and altogether revitalised, a delightfully quiet interior balances heritage charm and modern easy living, with a skylit second storey comprising a stylish central bathroom, separate powder room, and trio of considerable, robe-lined bedrooms. Serving as an ideal shopfront, studio, or open workspace, a vast front living/dining room adjoins a smart kitchen and ambulant WC, flowing through to a sizeable lounge and second kitchen. With boundless scope to personalise, a substantial backyard presents possibilities of a multi-car garage, standalone rear residence, or inspired home extension (STCA), while highlights include original and new floorboards, heating/cooling, ceiling fans, new insulation, double-glazed windows, and a full-size laundry. A prospect like no other among the most prestigious of Moonee Ponds pockets, it's only metres from the area's leading public and private schools (zoned to Moonee Ponds West Primary), while a short walk to the effervescent Union Road and Puckle Street precincts, city-bound trains and trams, and the idyllic Maribyrnong River.
