248 Thompsons Road, Templestowe Lower, Vic 3107

Capturing 1950s classic design and underpinned by solid construction, this delightful, single-level family residence offers a brilliant opportunity to update while preserving vintage character. High ceilings, stepped intricate cornices and detailed floor finishes are amongst the quality accents in this comfortable home that maximises its elevated positioning and exceptional locale convenient to all amenities.

The sun-warmed lounge beckons with scenic views across the front terrace to the horizon. Panoramic windows, superlative parquetry flooring and a retro fireplace add further appeal. The cosy dining area looks out onto the charming front garden and adjoins the kitchen; functional and fitted with breakfast bar and ample storage. There's plenty of space in the breezy family room, offering potential to convert to guest accommodation using a little imagination and clever redesign, while privacy is assured in the tiered, rear garden, complete with paved courtyard, border foliage and neighbouring trees. Polished hardwood floors add texture to the main bedroom featuring plentiful built-in robes and the other robed bedrooms are carpeted and quietly positioned. Additional features include laundry with second shower, ducted heating, garden shed and lock-up garage.

The home's fabulous position means easy access to the city via the Eastern Freeway and being able to stroll to public transport, Ted Adjani Reserve, Koonung Creek Trail, Macedon Square shops and reputable schools. Also in close surrounds are St Clements of Rome Primary School and Marcellin College, as well as leisure/sporting centres and shopping at Bulleen Plaza and Templestowe Village.
