With its timeless 1930s period charm, flexible floorplan and outdoor oasis, this picturesque single-storey residence delivers a rare advantage: a contemporary, light-filled second dwelling. Together, they present an outstanding opportunity for blended or multi-generational families, dual living arrangements, short- or long-term rental income, or a comfortable place to reside while planning a renovation or extension of the original home (STCA).
Beyond the quintessential façade and manicured front garden, the original residence has been lovingly restored in superbly comfortable condition, showcasing beautifully preserved hardwood floors, picture rails, double-hung windows, doors and architraves. Decorative brick fireplaces, lead-light details and ornate high ceilings further honour the home’s heritage.
Formal lounge and dining rooms flow through to a central kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances. Accommodation includes two generous bedrooms with robes, a terrazzo bathroom with bath and separate toilet, plus a study and second bathroom to the rear. Hydronic heating, a laundry mudroom and covered rear porch complete the offering.
Privately positioned on the generous allotment, the second dwelling features open-plan living and dining with split-system heating and cooling, a sleek modern kitchen, and expansive glass sliders opening to a north-facing alfresco deck and landscaped garden with gazebo. Two sun-filled bedrooms with mirrored robes share a contemporary bathroom with soak tub, alongside a separate toilet and laundry. Additional highlights include a lock-up garage, off-street parking, storage sheds, water tanks, irrigation and solar panels.
This exceptional and highly versatile property is set within one of Ashburton’s highly sought-after heritage protected streets, with Ashburton Village at the end of the street, and both Ashburton and Alamein train stations within walking distance. Proximity to leading schools, library, pool, CBD access, Anniversary and Gardiners Creek trails, parkland, Chadstone Shopping Centre and the M1/CityLink underscores its enduring lifestyle appeal.
