1/24 Sherlock Road, Croydon, Vic 3136

Classic charm and modern comfort unite in this beautifully renovated 3 bedroom character weatherboard home. A dream first home, investment or retirement nest, this single level residence is in a convenient no-through road, at the front of a block of only 3. It's about a 20 minute walk from Mooroolbark station and shops, buses, kinder, reserves and medical centre. Close to local schools, Croydon Central and EastLink.

Be smitten as soon as you see the picket fence street appeal, with an undercover deck and gorgeous landscaped garden providing a restful escape from the daily grind. The spacious, light-filled design oozes elegant comfort, from the 2 living zones, entry hallway, high ceilings, decorative cornices and sash windows, to the stunning hardwood polished floors, garden outlooks and contemporary décor. Two bedrooms (with his/hers BIRs and overheads; master with air-conditioning), plus an air-conditioned formal dining/study/third bedroom option are privately zoned.

Complementing these is a lovely main bathroom (with bath, shower and updated vanity) and separate toilet. Share quiet times in the formal lounge room accentuated by a feature mantelpiece. Enjoy carefree cooking in the open plan, gourmet kitchen showcasing s/s Blanco appliances, s/s dishwasher, glass splashbacks, island bar and excellent storage. There's plenty of space to relax or dine in the large family/meals room, or open the double French doors and entertain in style all year round on the undercover deck. A private, fenced landscaped garden is serene and low-maintenance.

Quality appointments: remote x-large single garage, ducted heating, ceiling fans and Euro laundry with storage.
