YARRAVILLE

6 Gladstone Street $500,000-$550,000

Auction 11am, February 21

Agent Jas H Stevens, 93169000

Melway 42 A9

HERE'S a meticulously refurbished period home on the edge of ever-popular Yarraville.

The look here is neat, composed and handsome and the fact that the property is free-standing gives it a considerable lift in the sometimes tight streetscapes of the inner west. Sitting in a cul-de-sac there's a feeling of quiet here that belies the home's vibrant location just a stroll from Anderson Street.

Inside you will find the customary glossy hardwood floors, a bright living and dining area that leads via bi-fold doors to a northerly deck and courtyard. The slick kitchen with white cabinets gets a dramatic edge courtesy of a brilliant green tiled splashback. There's also plenty of cleverly designed storage space.

There is one bedroom downstairs and an upstairs extension accommodates two more bedrooms and a bright bathroom.

Back downstairs is another bathroom, and the light that flows through the north rear section gives the open-plan section a fresh, contemporary feel.
