A beautiful treelined streetscape lined with attractive heritage homes creates a truly inviting setting for this impressive three bedroom residence that’s quietly located on the border of Canterbury only moments to the charming cafes on Maling Road and a range of blue-ribbon amenities. Leafy surroundings introduce a private garden setting where the perfect symmetry of a period-inspired façade reveals a modern single-level interior combining floorplan flexibility, quality appointments and prized north-facing rear orientation that fills spacious living areas with an abundance of natural light. A separate accommodation wing features a bright and comfortable main bedroom including a walk-in robe and direct access onto a rear timber deck, while a stylish adjoining bathroom with a frameless-glass walk-in shower and approved architect plans for shared ensuite-style convenience if desired, precedes a handy powder room and a sizable second bedroom offering built-in robes. A versatile third bedroom or home office with a garden vista is located off a welcoming entrance area where polished spotted gum flooring extends through to a large, light-filled living and dining area complemented by a superbly-composed kitchen integrating stainless-steel appliances, generous bench surfaces and a step-in pantry. Expansive north-rear glazing with wide sliding doors overlooks a secluded and sunny, rear courtyard garden that presents an idyllic setting for year-round enjoyment with its undercover entertaining deck set amidst wonderful low-maintenance plantings. Other attributes include a full-size laundry, reverse-cycle heating and cooling units and ample fitted storage plus an attic ladder, as well as driveway off-street parking and an internal garage that easily reconverted, currently functions as a handy multi-purpose room. A remarkable setting designed for downsizers, a growing family or entry-level buyers, this exceptional single-storey sanctuary presents an unrivalled low-upkeep opportunity surrounded by family properties of distinction in one of the area’s most picturesque streets.
