This much-loved family home is coming to the market for the first time in over 30 years, having played host to many happy family events poolside, as well as on the deck where guests can capture views to the city through the leafy suburban outlook. Enjoying coffee on the front deck reading the morning paper with views to the city is something our seller is going to miss. Original VJ walls and timber floors feature throughout this home that has three large bedrooms with built-ins upstairs, in addition to the bathroom and kitchen with ample cupboard and bench space also located on this upper level. Under the house is a large amount of space with an existing multi-purpose room currently used as a bedroom that could be a great teenage retreat. This area benefits from yet another bathroom and toilet….no one needs to track wet or grassy feet through the upstairs area from the pool or backyard – always a bonus! With a lovely flat, grassy yard, children and pets can enjoy all the benefits of a typical suburban backyard, while the adults will enjoy the off-street parking for two additional cars and such a desirable location that makes the work commute to the city or sporting commitments so much easier. Close proximity to the CBD, convenient access to public transport and servicing excellent schools, this home needs to go on your ‘must see’ list. 55 Thorpe Street is a canvas with original bones that will shine as per its former glory to suit all your family’s needs and is just waiting for your personal touch.
