Enviably positioned on the edge of parkland within a well-established boutique precinct in the heart of Somerville, this meticulously maintained single-level, standalone residence presents an exceptional opportunity for young families or downsizers to embrace sophisticated, low-maintenance, indoor/outdoor living and entertaining in a lifestyle-focussed family-friendly neighbourhood.
Opposite a nature reserve, and in walking distance to a choice of schools and Somerville Plaza shops, the stylish, contemporary rendered and exposed brick home is edged by neatly landscaped low maintenance gardens on a compact 262*square metre allotment.
Designed for zoned liveability, there is a formal living room at the front of the two-bedroom home (which could be converted to a third bedroom) and a long central hallway that extends to the north-facing family/meals area with glass sliding doors that open to the fabulous undercover alfresco deck, with ceiling fans and a wood-fire heater allowing for all-season entertaining. The stone-stopped kitchen is equipped with quality Euro appliances including a convection oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher, while the spacious adjoining laundry offers additional butler’s pantry functionality.
The main bedroom has a large walk-in robe and semi-ensuite access to the gleaming bathroom with built-in tub, separate shower, and stone-topped vanity. The second bedroom has a built-in robe, and additional features include internal access to the single remote-operated garage, newly installed central ducted heating, split system heating/cooling, and there is a fire-pit area and built-in seating in the fully fenced wraparound rear garden.
Set within the prized Norfolk Rise environs, loved by locals for its low traffic streets, elegant homes, and open green spaces, the home is just a few minutes’ walk to Somerville Rise Primary School, St. Brendan’s Primary School, and Somerville Secondary College. Also walk to Somerville Plaza shops, cafes, restaurants, public transport hubs including Somerville train station, and easy Peninsula Link freeway access.
