Home Description

Description of the home

A sweet and cosy 3 bedroom house in south Preston. Featuring a renovated kitchen and bathroom, split system heating/cooling, natural light, indoor plants and leafy views, bath, bike shed, large backyard and veggie garden plus outdoor table and chairs, and off-street parking.

We’re in a fantastic location within walking distance to High St shops & cafes, Preston Market, Merri Creek and Bell Station/ #11 tram.

The house is chemical and fragrance free (no perfume or fragranced washing powder sorry as I am very allergic!), eco-friendly, simple and nicely laid out - with a ever expanding indoor plant family. Our large backyard has room to grow veggies and a sweet outdoor entertaining area. We recycle, compost, have veggie beds and worm farms too.
Please note that some of the furniture in the pictures has changed slightly.

Our house is a healthy, calm, low-key place to come home to relax and potter around in. Occasionally we have a friend over for a meal but mostly enjoy a quiet space to recharge in.

Why else is this a great home?
- well-designed, double brick house (cool in summer, warmer in winter)
- has a bath!
- extra storage room
