9 Anne Street, McKinnon, Vic 3204

This is the sort of gracious period living that makes life on McKinnon Hill so desirable. Within 500 metres of Ormond Primary and well within the McKinnon College Zone, this fine 1930?s home has been respectfully renovated with an exemplary eye for detail and a focus on modern family living.

Beautifully integrated with slender french doors, perfectly-matched woodwork and rich hardwood floors, a light-filled family zone flows seamlessly from two traditional formal rooms including a lounge with open-fireplace. Within this light-filled space, a classic Harris Smith kitchen combines rich timber benchtops with a creamy-glass splashback and Kleenmaid appliances while modern appointments include ducted heating and cooling.

Four bedroom plus study nook accommodation is cleverly zoned with a private master-suite (complete with elegant ensuite and WIR) set traditionally to the front and a children?s wing (with a beautifully detailed bathroom) stretching out to north sun at the rear. Between the zones, a fully-fitted study nook is perfect for working-from-home or homework.

Even the gardens are sympathetic to the era with a beautifully paved drive for offstreet parking out front and a wide rear verandah extending to an al fresco entertaining area in sunny north-westerly gardens at the rear.

A moment to the Primary, a walk to the College and an easy last-minute dash to McKinnon Station, this is the height of fine renovation ... high on the Hill.
