In a coveted and quiet family friendly street close to schools, parks, transport and shopping. This charming 3-bed + Study Californian bungalow retains key period detail such as ornate plasterwork on 3-metre-high ceilings. The extended and functional interior would blossom under renovation/update to complete a true gem just 12km from the CBD.
The location brings everything a family could want including 2 public (Dinjerra and Footscray West) and one private (Christ the King) primary schools all less than 1km from the door. Central West Shopping Centre is an easy stroll whilst a bus stop just 250 metres from the driveway delivers Highpoint Shopping Centre barely 3km north.
The Barkly street eating precinct offers you the chance to ?walk off' your gastronomical explorations just 1.7KM away or offset your dining indulgences taking advantage of the extraordinary variety of local parks and reserves including Dobson, Johnson, Martin or Shorter reserves as well as Shepherd gardens.
City commuters will be thankful Tottenham station is a handy 1.2km away (with a reminder there's a bus stop 250metres from the door) though an easy drive awaits with just 12km to the CBD from your off-street parking spaces.
Turning within the home, the traditional floorplan has retained original rooms whilst extending out the back across the sunroom and beyond. A generous formal lounge fronts the floorplan under soaring 3M ceilings with ornate plasterwork that is duplicated in the formal dining room as is the ?back to back' hearths with gas fire heaters presently fitted.
A central bathroom is aided by a second WC set closer to Bedroom 3 at the rear of the home and the functional kitchen sits adjacent a casual meals area and Study. Stepping through to sunroom reveals laundry access as well as outdoor entertaining/patio area.
The potential this home holds is simply staggering and having served its previous owners so well and for so long, the opportunity to update within would reward its new custodians with an enviable home in a coveted street close to all you could want and need. Do not miss your opportunity to seize this home and land.
