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!
