18 Dunscombe Avenue, Ashburton

Comfortably presented and poised for perfection, this attractive three bedroom residence on an inviting 715 sqm approx. allotment stands as a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era and a golden opportunity to luxuriously improve. A classic example of English-style architecture, the high-pitched roof and clinker-brick construction amidst established garden set an evocative tone for the character, comfort and coveted potential contained within. A secure entrance porch introduces the warm timber detailing, decorative cornices and etched-glass doors of a spacious single-level interior where a well-zoned floorplan flawlessly unfolds with three generous bedrooms, all with built-in robes, complemented by a bright central bathroom and separate toilet. Interconnected living (wood heater) and dining rooms extend to an updated kitchen with stainless-steel appliances (induction cooktop), a possible study/play room and a store room. Bathing in sunshine at the rear is a delightful landscaped garden that’s ideal for children as well as pets and includes a versatile bungalow, a lock-up shed and a rainwater tank while also offering ample space to inspire a stunning extension. Comfy as is for immediate living including split-system heating and cooling plus off-street parking, this impressive property is perfectly poised for a high-end renovation/expansion, new designer residence or an excellent redevelopment (STCA). Tucked away on a peaceful treed avenue that’s brilliantly transforming with a series of sensational modern builds, this charming single-level home stands ready and waiting for fresh new ideas in a family-focused pocket close to High Street cafes and shopping, a selection of schools including PLC and Ashburton Primary, Deakin University, Ashburton Park, Gardiners Creek walking trail and Ashburton train station.
