1 Walnut Street, Carnegie, Vic 3163

The inviting warmth of this home has much to do with the craftsmanship involved when it was built in the Californian Bungalow era, and even more to do with the relaxing ambience created when making it a home for raising a modern family.
Baltic pine flooring in the front section of the residence is a standout and high ceilings, plate rails in the entrance hall, leadlight and picture rails are other indicators of the period of construction. There is a large extension which includes a spacious family room with vaulted ceiling in the sitting area. The timber kitchen, at the hub of the house and open to the family room, has tiled splashbacks, breakfast bar, gas cooktop and a skylight. There are 3 bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes), a study, and a cosy lounge room (with open fireplace) that could be a 4th bedroom. An expansive covered deck stretches across the rear of the house, providing a great alfresco entertaining space, and there is ample space for a veggie patch, chooks, and children's play area in the private rear garden. Land size 656sqm approx. Among the inclusions are ducted heat and cooling, instant hot water, central main bathroom, 2nd bathroom in the laundry, garage and extra off-street parking, and shed. The location is a winner, too - stroll to cosmopolitan Koornang Road shopping strip, community facilities, bistros, buses and train station. Chadstone Shopping Centre is handy. Schools, reserves and recreation are also in convenient distance, as is Monash Uni (Caulfield and Clayton campuses).
