Poised behind a quaint front fence, this classic three-bedroom weatherboard residence has been beautifully renovated to immerse the busy family in contemporary pleasures and refined style. Having been loved by one family for 40 years, this superb home has been completely re-imagined to encourage everyday relaxation and entertaining.
Set amid a well-presented landscaped garden and complemented by a new driveway offering generous parking for several vehicles, a view of a delightful Liquidambar tree creates a sense of serenity and sets a welcoming scene for family and friends.
The blue front door opens up to an inviting interior, revealing a modern colour scheme paired up with lime wash hardwood floors to produce an aesthetically pleasing result. Two separate zones create ample space for the occupants to spread out, beginning with the open-plan living and dining area comprising a granite fireplace as the main focal point.
The gourmet kitchen is ahead of the design curve, presenting an Israeli quartz stone benchtop, stylish pendant lighting over breakfast bar, soft-close drawers and subway tiled splashback. Highlights include; Goldline five-burner gas stove, Fisher & Paykel stainless steel self-cleaning pyrolytic oven, black custom-made rangehood, double bowl farm sink, new Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, illuminated glass cabinets and recessed lighting.
Adding to the living and entertaining options, the rumpus room is enhanced with built-in cabinetry and a bar fridge, in addition to a space-saving Euro laundry, timber hardwood floors and ceiling fan. Three sets of stacker doors fold back to reveal a spacious alfresco showcasing a sail cloth and quartz stacked stone. A glass fence provides sightlines to the solar heated, salt-chlorinated, above-ground pool (with deep end), encompassed by a large deck.
The rear yard is perfect for the family, featuring a mini basketball court with built-in ring, as well as a firepit area with a second covered deck. Furthermore, an appreciable studio affords the residents another zone to utilise as desired.
At the conclusion of the day, the carpeted master offers a comfortable escape, comprising a double built-in robe, picture rails and an up-market electric heater built into a beautiful white mantle – the true showpiece of the room. Bedrooms two and three are robed and well proportioned, offering easy access to the main bathroom that has been designed to transform your bath ritual. Incorporating a corner shower and double vanity, the clawfoot bath and pressed metal feature wall add a sense of the past and perfectly complete the look.
Additional highlights list as; study nook, gas ducted heating, Breezair evaporative cooling, 8f 6 (approx.) ceilings, plantation shutters, double-hung sash windows, veggie box, barn doors opening up to a wood/garden shed, oversized single garage (7.1m x 4.6m approx.) with workshop and shelving and double gates to the rear yard for secure trailer parking.
Occupying a 923m2 (approx.) block and positioned within the popular Monastery Estate, the home is only a brief walk from Burnt Bridge Shopping Centre, Ainslie Parklands Primary School, Melba College, as well as being just a short drive from Croydon Railway Station, Croydon Primary School, The Good Shepherd Primary School, Yarra Valley Grammar, Tintern Grammar, Swinburne TAFE, hospitals, Croydon Memorial Pool and EastLink freeway.
Every detail has been carefully executed with the result being a highly desirable home designed to afford an exciting future.
