7 Margot Street, West Footscray VIC 3012

A home of rare Art Deco allure that perfectly adapts to contemporary designer lines with a sensational setting that backs directly onto Bassett Reserve. Open your rear gate and you’ll discover a picturesque treed parkland where the kids can kick a footy, you can take the dog for a walk, or simply soak up the seasonal tranquillity and birdsong.

A striking brick façade features timeless wrought iron gates, porch entry and French front doors with an effortless garden that allows interiors to be bathed in natural light and warmth. The floorplan is flexible with freshly painted and beautifully presented living and entertaining zones that are instantly inviting and comfortable, featuring warm décor, expansive open living and superb period details of French doors, picture rails and decorative cornicing and ceilings. Accommodation comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms with built-in robes, separate bathroom, laundry and toilet, with some scope to reconfigure to a modern layout of open kitchen-living and alfresco dining to flow to one side, and bedrooms to the other, with a potential front or rear master walk-in robe and ensuite.

There’s lots to love with a long driveway, gated carport and a huge rear garage-workshop, with a choice nearby reserves and Yarraville or West Footscray Train Stations, parkland and waterfront cycling trails, Westgate Punt, Footscray, Seddon and Yarraville dining, entertaining and shopping, childcare, Kingsville and West Footscray Primary Schools, Footscray Hospital, Yarraville’s Sun Theatre and major arterial roads.
