This stunning weatherboard home has been in the one family since it was built in 1954; it has been fully renovated and extended over time to create a magnificent offering that could now be yours.
The residence is framed by a traditional picket fence, beautiful landscaped gardens and a welcoming verandah, all of which create a wonderful first impression. This continues inside where you're greeted by a wide entrance hall that showcases the gleaming messmate timber floors that continue throughout much of the lower level. There is a formal lounge at the front with an enticing gas log fireplace and an adjoining meals area on one side of the home, whilst on the other you'll find two bedrooms with built-in robes, a well-equipped laundry and a reading room that overlooks the greenery of the front garden.
At the rear of the home is an expansive open plan zone that houses a generous family room and an entertainer's kitchen with extensive storage, stone bench tops, stainless steel appliances including an Electrolux dishwasher and a DeLonghi 900mm cooktop and oven plus a long island bench; the perfect place for casual meal times. There is an expanse of large windows and French doors that access a rear verandah and a deck that has been constructed from the original roof rafters; it overlooks lush green lawns and an inviting solar heated in-ground pool surrounded by travertine marble paving.
The upstairs level provides another living space with double cupboards and three incredibly spacious bedrooms; two have built-in robes and are serviced by a central bathroom with a clawfoot bath whilst the master offers a fully fitted walk-in robe and a period inspired ensuite, also with its own claw foot bath.
There are an abundance of pleasing additions offered to impress you further; lead light windows, decorative cornices, high ceilings, a walk-in storage room plus under stair storage, gas ducted heating and two evaporative cooling units. There are 5 kilowatts of solar panels, a 2100 litre water tank that feeds to the toilets and laundry, a 4 car garage with its own independent hot water, shower, toilet and laundry facilities plus a 6 x 1.8 metre storage shed, under house storage and further off street parking.
The highly sought after location completes the package; walk to Mitcham train station and local buses, the Rangeview shopping precinct with the popular Two Brothers Café, the shopping and dining of central Mitcham, the greenery of well-regarded parks and reserves plus a number of desirable schools and kindergartens. A short drive to Eastlink, numerous shopping centres, popular sporting facilities and an array of desirable amenities.
Properties of this calibre don't come along every day so seize the opportunity now and make this sensational home yours.
