15 Mackay Street, Essendon VIC 3040

Its potential elevated by frontages to both Mackay and Glen Streets, this entirely freestanding Edwardian offers a chance to repurpose a considerable parcel or harness heritage character in the creation of a remarkable family residence.

A genuine rarity among the most exclusive of Essendon's storied streets, a timeless façade preludes an interior rich in original detail, with intricate fireplaces and fretwork complemented by ceiling rosettes and Baltic pine floors. Three bedrooms are joined by a versatile study/fourth bedroom, quiet living room, combined kitchen/meals, broad sunroom, and rear bathroom, while a sun-drenched yard with exterior laundry, WC, and sizeable sheds highlights the block's impressive dimensions. Presenting a suite of options to execute an architectural vision, possibilities exist to extend the home's footprint in an extraordinary renovation, build a multi-car rear garage with lofted studio, or subdivide and craft a second standalone residence facing Glen Street (STCA).

Mere footsteps from Allison, Lincoln, and Woodlands Parks, Windy Hill oval and Fitness Centre, city trains and trams, and the celebrated cafés, restaurants, and retail options of Napier Street, Rose Street, and North Essendon Village, while CityLink, DFO, the Maribyrnong River, and revered public/private schools (zoned for Strathmore Secondary College) sit moments away.
