17 Hakea Street KENNINGTON VIC

If there is a property in the market place that demands your attention, then this is most definitely it! A look beyond the late 1970’s brick fa?ade will reveal a trendy, ultra modern renovation in highly sought after Kennington only a stones throw from Strath Village shopping centre, schools, university, and public transport facilities. Lovely established trees and a lick of fresh paint welcome you to the front of the home which features three upstairs bedrooms, all with built in robes and new carpets throughout. The master bedroom is complete with a large two way ensuite including his and hers vanity, bath and shower whilst sliding doors open out to a huge 11×4 balcony with views of the nature reserve that neighbours the back of the property. A fourth bedroom or study, depending on your needs, lies downstairs adjacent to a second bathroom with shower and loo, and a laundry area with direct access to the rear yard. A separate powder room upstairs is handy for avoiding family queues to the bathroom facilities. Stunning polished concrete floors are a striking feature of upstairs living. Naturally cool in the summer months (ducted cooling ensures extra respite), and warmed by electric slab heating in the winter months, the flooring provides practicality and style to the main traffic areas. A generous sized lounge room with sliding door access and views of the pool, lawn and garden area is an ideal place to enjoy a relaxing sun soaked afternoon, whilst the huge living room downstairs is perfect for families with children who need their own space. The centrepiece of this tasteful renovation is the custom made, sparkling new kitchen which is sure to impress all of your dinner guests when entertaining. The family chef will be assured of compliments when cooking with a 900ml stainless steel oven and 6 burner gas hotplate. There is ample storage space including a handy appliance cupboard, quality cupboards and draws and a large corner pantry, along with hard wearing Caesar Stone bench tops, dishwasher, and attractive glass cabinetry with feature down lights. The meals/dining area adjoins with easy access from the kitchen ensuring service is a breeze! Outside, the property is equally impressive in its list of inclusions. An in ground swimming pool will ensure endless hours of family fun and entertainment. A large paved undercover area could offer a number of uses – an outdoor entertaining area, space for a caravan or boat, or even an undercover games area ideal for a billiard or table tennis table for the kids. The well established split level garden and lawn area provides intimacy from within the rear yard, whilst a nature reserve at the rear provides privacy and a lovely outlook from beyond the boundary. An automatic grey watering system keeps the garden green, and a good sized workshop hidden under the house gives new meaning to the phrase “man cave”! The “wow factor” is high with this fantastic property. All the boxes are ticked, so take a look beyond the curb and see for yourself. You will be pleasantly surprised!
