19 Cosy Gum Road, Carnegie, Vic 3163

This charming period home, with an appealing facade, nestles in well-tended gardens behind a picket fence. Inside the 3.3m ceilings proclaim the era in which the home was built - as do various stained glass windows and original Baltic pine floorboards in the lounge room where there are picture rails, a ceiling rose and an attractive open fireplace. But it is the openness and the fresh decor that speak of today. You can picture the happy family times or relaxed entertaining around the large dining table occupying a central position in the inviting open kitchen (with gas cooktop) at the heart of the home. The master bedroom has a pretty open fireplace as well as a fitted WIR through to a modern ensuite. Two more bedrooms have BIRs, and there is a main bathroom, plus a rear room presently configured as an open study but with multi-uses. Ducted heating and split-system A/C, large attic storage, plantation shutters, wraparound courtyard, solar hot water, carport plus off-street car space, shed, and rain water tank are among the extras. The location is another feature of this property - stroll to Koornang Road shops, cafes and trains, near buses, parks, reserves, recreation, Monash Uni Caulfield, and within easy reach of Chadstone Shopping Centre.
