14 Parkside Street, Blackburn, Vic 3130

Iconic Blackburn living is now yours to own with this proud and historically significant family residence, nestled on the footsteps of Blackburn Lake and only a short stroll away from Blackburn's vibrant shopping strip. Picture-perfect presentation begins with the breathtaking gardens that frame a manicured front lawn and extends into the flowing, single-level layout, which caters for formal and communal living and comfortably accommodates four bedrooms of generous proportions.

A grand sense of living defines the opulent interior, which thoughtfully blends the character of its late 1920s heritage with contemporary additions demanded by today's modern family lifestyle. Step into another world by escaping the daily grind in front of the charming open fireplace in the formal lounge, which connects with the adjacent dining to create an elegant arrangement filled with grace and class.

If the front of home pays homage to its period past, then the rear is dedicated to the best modern living has to offer. Spectacular open-plan living takes pride of place in the heart of the radiant layout, opening onto a peaceful entertaining deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living and blending the sun-kissed family living (with wood combustion fireplace), central dining and gourmet kitchen (lengthy feature island bench, stone benchtops, abundant storage and quality Neff appliances) as one. Bedrooms are zoned for privacy and designed with comfort in mind; two family bathrooms coupled with a large separate laundry has this home well equipped to handle the demands of a growing household.

A smart irrigation system comprising 240V controller, solenoid valves, drippers across the gardens and lawn, and a 21,500-litre underground concrete water tank ensures the lush gardens remain exactly that, while gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, polished timber floorboards, plentiful storage options (including attic storage), separate workshop and ample off-street parking adds further appeal. And just when you think it can't get any better, it does when you factor in the dream location that's within walking distance of Blackburn train station, bus services, St Thomas the Apostle Primary School, Blackburn Lake Primary School and Nunawading Christian College and only moments away from Forest Hill Chase and the Eastern Freeway. Perfect!
