It would be such a pity to keep this home all to yourself. Built in 1928, extended and renovated to a high standard and positioned in a wide and leafy street in company with other well maintained period beauties, this 3 bedroom plus study weatherboard home is one to share and enjoy, inside and out, with family and friends.
The surrounding gardens are as much a part of the total picture as the house itself. Tastefully designed with judicious plant selection, the front garden, settled behind a picket fence, bids a warm and friendly welcome, whilst the rear north facing garden blends decking, shade sails, spa, wisteria covered pergola, bougainvillea and lime and olive trees to create two delightful levels of private alfresco space.
Within the house three separate living areas ensure family harmony. A formal front living room features a bay window and OFP, an expansive family/meals area forms the heart of the home and an additional sitting room/home theatre opens to the rear; these spaces merge and flow outside when entertaining on a grand scale is called for. The open kitchen provides an impressive as-new Ariston stove and 5 burner cook-top, granite benches and breakfast bar. Three generous robed bedrooms and a fitted study/4th bedroom are serviced by the pristine family bathroom and at the rear (handy to the spa) a large stylish bathroom with double shower and twin vanities.
This exceptional renovation has retained the traditional charm of the home with decorative ceilings, period light fittings and polished pine floors, even to the point of reproducing the original leadlight windows and timber panelling in the new addition at the rear. Also with plantation shutters, ducted heating, split system air-conditioners, tandem carport, garden shed plus an impressive handyman's workshop.
In a highly desirable locale a short walk to Burwood Station, shopping strip, city tram and the Anniversary Trail with a short drive to schools, Monash Freeway, parks and reserves.
