55 Burnett Street, Mitcham, Vic 3132

A superb property that has evolved from its original mid-century modern beginnings, to a stunning family home that has been carefully extended over time, creating a seamless meld of classic and contemporary features. Situated on 981sqm approx. of prime land, this unique home is being offered to buyers for the first time in 40 years.

A striking mix of contrasting materials feature on the home's exterior, and many of these carry through the natural timber portico and inside to create both a warm and stylish interior. The generously proportioned floorplan offers two living areas. Both enjoy the benefits of abundant natural light, courtesy of floor to ceiling windows and doors that also allow sweeping vistas. One is on the bottom level of the split-level design, whilst the other enjoys a raised aspect and the warmth of an ambient gas log fireplace. A generous dining space is positioned between the two; it offers easy access to a fully renovated kitchen where a number of well-considered design features have been incorporated. One of these is an extension of the bench space which creates either a casual meals area, or a built-in study nook. There is a USB charging point here, plus a well-placed cabinet to house a computer tower, or your laptop when not in use. There are quality appliances including a dishwasher, a stainless steel under bench oven with a separate griller, a 4-burner cooktop plus substantial cabinetry and a generous pantry.

The accommodation is completed by four robed bedrooms that are cleverly positioned in different sections of the home, allowing each family member their own sense of space. The master bedroom in on an upper level, where you’ll enjoy both a large spa ensuite, and a private balcony that boasts sensational treetop views to the north-east. The remaining bedrooms share the use of a freshly updated central bathroom.

Those who enjoy outdoor living will love the extensive paved area surrounded by the soft grass and established gardens of the substantial backyard. An Oak tree creates a pleasing focal point and provides a protective shade in the summer, and light to flow through in the cooler months.
