It has been almost 40 years since this three-bedroom weatherboard classic came onto the
market - and just standing at the front door tells you there is something very special
waiting for you inside.
And there really is. Big and bright living spaces coupled with excellent outdoor
entertaining options and generous-sized accommodation translates into comfortable
living for the growing family, while a large grassed backyard (with a separate shed that
could be used as a studio, home office or workshop) provides the kids with a place to
play in the sunshine.
Back inside, the owners have been very sympathetic in their most recent updates yet still
managed to create a series of striking rooms with bold use of colour, and then
complemented that with the most subtle palette where needed, from neutral to the
softest of yellows.
The integration between the striking family living (with a towering timber-panelled
Cathedral ceiling) and relaxed undercover alfresco presents a desirable indoor-outdoor
entertaining centrepiece, while the bright and spacious kitchen (with 600mm stainless
steel upright cooker and loads of storage space) has been rejuvenated with a range of
stylish extras and adds the final polish to the whole package.
Enhanced with stunning high ceilings, bright family bathroom, evaporative cooling and
ducted heating, this single-level home also has one of suburban Melbourne's most
sought-after assets - off-street parking for multiple cars.
But it's the location that should clinch the deal, with walking distance to Holy Name
Primary School, Plenty Road trams and popular local shops and cafes along with easy
access to Preston Market, Northland Shopping Centre, Preston train station and La
Trobe University.
Now that's a deal!
