61 Kent Street, Ascot Vale

This fully furnished turnkey property is the perfect base to enjoy all that Melbourne has to offer. Built in 1890, this secure eclectic Victorian was originally a boot maker's shop and residence, a busy local milk bar, and a couture shop, before being converted to a three-bedroom home. Beyond the original gorgeous facade with sidewalk awning and former shopfront, this gem provides a wonderfully unique inner-urban lifestyle opportunity thanks to its quality inclusions and low-maintenance Flemington-edge convenience. A favourite on Air BNB, this cosy property is fully furnished and comprises three bedrooms (large master with built-in robes) serviced by a contemporary-style two-way bathroom with full sized bath and towels. Each bedroom has quality queen beds, lamps, linen, block out blinds and storage. The large light-filled furnished living room with a 86" Smart TV and record player, could double as a home office. The hallway leads through to the updated kitchen/meals area with tiled splashbacks, gas cooker, double sink, double fridge with French doors and water dispenser, microwave, coffee machine, air fryer, pressure cooker, cutlery, crockery and everything you need to cook and entertain for a family and friends. Other features include exposed bricks, split-system heating and cooling, high ceilings, plantation shutters, ceiling fans, internal fully equipped laundry, window plus a fully undercover private rear courtyard with a Weber Q. The courtyard doubles as an off-street parking option for a small vehicle, bikes or scooters, with a remote-control roller door to Brixton Street. There is also ample street parking with two parking permits. LOCAL AMENITIES Walk 350m to Mt Alexander Road for the Number 59 tram for easy access to hospitals, universities, Vic Market and CBD. Walk 800m to Newmarket (Flemington) Station (three stops to the CBD), plus Pin Oak Crescent eateries, St Brendan's and Flemington Primary Schools. It's also close to both Racecourse Road and Puckle Street shopping precincts, as well as easy access to Citylink, the showgrounds, and Flemington & Moonee Valley Racecourses. Adding to the uniqueness, and in celebration of the area's strong links to horse-racing, this property is adorned by a mural of jockey Hugh Bowman riding Winx, the 4 x Australian Champion Racehorse of the Year. An opportunity not to be missed! Minimum lease term 12 months. Inspections by appointment only. Virtual inspections can be arranged.
