23 Barter Crescent, Forest Hill, Vic 3131

Peaceful delight on 769sqm

In a quiet no-through road, a stones throw from Forest Hill Chase, lies this charming 1960s home in immaculate condition.
You'll be hard-pressed to find a lovelier garden in Forest Hill, developed over nearly fifty years. All the work's been done: rock edging, plantings, lawns; two water tanks & a drip-system waters the entire garden. Both living areas enjoy views through huge corner windows, while the kitchen looks east over the back yard.
The living area comprises kitchen, lounge & dining, & there's a separate formal room that can be kept cosy & quiet by closing trifold doors. With hardly a scratch on the original Laminex benches, the kitchen is functional & funky. Well-planned from the start, it has plenty of cupboards, an Everhot wall oven & space-saving 'sliding' stove top. Adjacent is 'the best laundry in Melbourne' according to the owners. Indeed, it's a good one, with ample cupboards, good light & access to the back yard.
Each bedroom overlooks its own patch of lush garden. The spacious master bedroom is no exception, kept private from the street by a weeping cherry tree. The central bathroom features a unique separation of bathroom, toilet & shower. You'll find built-in cupboards aplenty in the bedrooms & hall.
The house is warmed by gas ducted heating & cooled by an evaporative cooler, both just two years old. Quality paint & carpets throughout (& solid hardwood floorboards underneath).
Outside, there's an enclosed carport & workshop/shed. Other features include water tanks and 2kw solar panels.
Whether you're sitting cosily inside by the picture windows, outside on the shady front veranda or in the sun out the back, you'll find a spot to rest at 23 Barter Crescent.
