Tightly held for over a century and cherished by just two owners, this classic 1920s bungalow at 53 Dorset Avenue is a rare find in a sought-after Westown location.

Set on a generous 720sqm (approx.) residential B section, the home is positioned to the front of the site, unlocking a spacious, private backyard that offers room to play, entertain, or reimagine. Sheltered from the street and rich with potential, it’s an ideal setting for families, couples or those looking to add further value.

Inside, the home delivers warmth, space, and timeless character. Three well-proportioned bedrooms are complemented by a generous living space, where original features shine- battened plaster ceilings, timber floors freshly sanded and clear-coated, classic timber joinery, and panelled doors. The lounge centres around a traditional brick fireplace, enhanced by a charming leadlight window, while the front bedroom enjoys a distinctive deep-set window frame.

The kitchen sits to the rear, capturing an elevated, leafy outlook to the west and beautiful sunsets. Functional as is, yet offering clear scope to modernise, open up, and fully capitalise on the view.

Practicality is well covered with a family bathroom, second toilet, basement laundry, and ample storage. A single garage at street level is supported by a substantial separate workshop to the rear - complete with three-phase power - ideal for hobbies, projects, or additional space.

The roughcast exterior has been recently repainted, with updated wiring and roofing adding peace of mind, while still preserving the home’s original character and charm.

Positioned in a quiet, established street, this address places you within easy reach of Base Hospital, Westown shops, schools, and a short walk into town.

A home with heart, history, and exciting potential - ready for its next chapter.
