Count up the bedrooms (there are four plus a hidden study nook), tally up the bathrooms (two including an ensuite), add in the lovely living (two family-wise zones), multiply by impressive Art Deco beauty ... it all adds up to the best family value in the McKinnon Secondary College Zone.

Situated on an easy-access side road less than 500m from the back gates of the College, this substantial solid brick home offers an outstanding family lifestyle with a marvellous master-suite, fine formal lounge and expansive family living and dining around a quality appliance kitchen with Miele dishwasher. Rich with divine Deco detail including leadlight, decorative ceilings, newly polished hardwood floors and an impressive fireplace, the home also offers a wealth of contemporary comfort with ducted heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and an abundance of storage including WIR and huge hall-storage.

Even the outdoors represent rare value with around 6,650sqft/618sqm of invaluable in-Zone land offering a covered al fresco area for entertaining, a secure garage for safe parking, a big backyard for kids to play and a vegie patch to harvest - all just a minute's walk to the newly transformed Ormond shopping strip and station.
