A beautiful free-standing Edwardian, “Blackwood” has a lovely atmosphere thanks to the open-style layout and extensive renovations that include a sitting room with a restored fireplace, pressed-metal ceilings and white walls. Just as appealing is the open-plan kitchen, meals and lounge area with a split-system and fan light from the high ceiling. Cafe-style doors that open to the backyard span the whole width of the house, further accentuating the sense of space. The tiled backyard has a mature tree amid other shrubbery, creating a lovely entertaining space.A renovated workshop beyond, adds appeal. Both bedrooms have deep skirting boards, baltic pine floorboards and built-in robes. Period elegance, a return verandah and original lead-lighting complement a lovely property that’s within walking distance of Yarraville village.
