Tranquilly located in a prized address and surrounded by an established garden, this circa 1965 residence is resting on a substantial 1,234m2 (approx.) block and is presenting to the market for the first time.

Having been lovingly maintained by one family since new, this solid brick-veneer home provides a spectacular opportunity for families, investors, builders or a home handyman to modernise this three bedroom residence and take advantage of the large block size, should you desire to extend (subject to council approval). The home has been so well kept that there's also the opportunity to move in or lease out as is.

Constructed over a single-level floorplan, the mostly neutral tones and polished floorboards featured throughout create a welcoming feel. The relaxed lounge is awash with natural light, with large windows offering a visual connection to the lush greenery.

The dining area cleverly adjoins the well-preserved original kitchen featuring an updated electric cooker and Fisher and Paykel dishwasher, in addition to generous bench space and storage including overhead cupboards. A glass door in the dining opens up to a paved outdoor entertaining area, adding to the available living options.

The bedrooms are well proportioned, beginning with master which conveniently offers two double built-in robes and overhead storage, furthermore, the additional two bedrooms are also generously robed. The original bathroom is neatly presented and incorporates a bath, shower and adjoining toilet, as well as being located off the hallway along with the bedrooms.

The home provides a study/sitting area at the rear, while other benefits include: Euro laundry, gas ducted heating, ceiling fans throughout, high ceiling, ample storage, security alarm system, shed, single carport and off-street parking. The spacious allotment is perfect for those who appreciate their privacy, in addition to affording a lifestyle of fun and adventure for children and pets.

Located only a brief stroll from Cheong Park with barbeque area and playground, bus stop, Pinjarra Kindergarten, as well as just a short drive from Burnt Bridge Shopping Centre, Croydon Railway Station, Tinternvale Primary School, Tintern Grammar, EastLink freeway, Croydon Memorial Pool and tennis courts.

Croydon is currently undergoing major development growth with significant spending on local infrastructure that is likely to fuel property price and rental demand. One such project is the expansion of Croydon Central, introducing a new market food hall, new essential services, additional parking, upgraded children's play equipment, undercover walkway from Croydon Railway Station in addition to twenty new town terraces.

This residence is ideal for the buyer who will appreciate the rarity of finding such a well-preserved home that needs little more than a fresh coat of paint and new amenities that reflect your own taste and style. The picturesque drive is protected by an overlay that will guarantee your spacious and private lifestyle for many generations to come.
