31 McGregor Street, Fairfield, Vic 3078

Set on a vast (800 sq.m. approx) allotment, this architect designed residence maximises light and garden views from all its spacious rooms. With its clean lines and extensive areas of glass, the house (circa 1980) exemplifies the classic design elements of its era. A walled front garden planted with mature evergreen and deciduous trees provides a handsome setting for the strong rectilinear design of the building. Entry, from a gravelled drive with covered dual car parking, is to a lobby opening at one end to a powder room and huge laundry/utility room, and leading to a beautifully proportioned high ceilinged living and dining room with a wall of glass to one of two expansive rear decks. A storage wall separates the dining zone from a stylish kitchen, finished in timber and grey laminate, with Bosch appliances. Upstairs are three bedrooms (main with 2-zone ensuite) and a sunny family bathroom. The bedroom/studio to the rear has a wall of glass with views over the deep back garden to Studley Park. This fine property close to Station St and parklands features ducted heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, attractive timber finishes and additional off street parking.
