Dream street just moments from so many attractions
Resting on a tranquil tree-lined street in a private setting this beautiful family home has been extended and renovated to create a versatile spatial arrangement with a wonderful connection to the outdoors. The huge open plan living design is enhanced by an easy to and fro to the expansive entertainer’s deck, informed by leafy gardens. The generous renovated kitchen champions the textures and tones of nature. The intimate wing delivers the potential of a second living area and a sequestered master bedroom graced by northern light.
Easy care timber look flooring flows underfoot and big windows allow the light to pour in. There is a welcoming foyer with a coat cupboard for stashing bags, hanging coats and woolies. A wonderful generosity of space informs the living, dining and cooking. A big dining table can be set beneath the bay window and there is lots of room for a comfy arrangement of couches. The original brick chimney nods to the past, delivering an earthy feel that coalesces with a materiality that combines stone, timber and soothing natural tones.
A big island gifts a relaxed spot for everyone to gather and stone worktops waterfall to the floor. The kitchen captivating with its banks of seamless cabinetry in eucalypt green. Open timber shelves allow you to reach for items and kit kat tiling adds a lovely textural note. There are quality appliances from Westinghouse, including a dishwasher and off to one side, the convenience of a European laundry. A glass door welcomes light and allows the space to naturally spill out to deck and garden in the warmer months.
A lovely hallway curves to the north, culminating in the master bedroom with its roomy walk-in-robe. Nearby there is easy access to the garden via double glass doors and the room is handy to the second bathroom with its twin basins, luminescent wall of glass bricks and separate powder room. There are three additional bedrooms and a large family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate toilet. The huge fifth bedroom opens directly onto the deck and can be easily utilised as a second living area or media room for the kids.
Underpinning it all is the city lifestyle…stroll to the local for coffee and house made buttermilk waffles from Gang Gang Cafe. Gang Gang is one of the few intimate venues remaining, showcasing celebrated and innovative musicians and hosting sociable trivia nights and fab flea markets.
The Dickson precinct is moments away for essential services, shopping and international cuisine. And the area is rich in parklands with Downer playing fields, Melba Street Park, Downer Micro-Forest and walking trails all close to hand. The home is walking distance to schools and transport, including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD, which is an easy drive or bike ride away.
