This property is the face of new Sunshine. As more and more young families move into this part of the booming west, early 1950s-style properties just like this one are a popular choice.
The period-style facade and good block-size of 2 Barnett are instantly appealing, add to that a quiet street surrounded by similar properties. There is a milk bar around the corner and Ballarat Road is close by for an easy commute to the city.

Retained period details such as sash windows to the front living and two bedrooms, plus period-style plaster work create visual interest.
Hardwood floorboards throughout show the promise this house inspires as you enter to contemporary spaces, past a new hardwood front deck with manicured shrubbery.
The main living room at the front of the house has external access to a tandem two-car carport, easily converted to garage status.
The room is compact but well proportioned and a split-system has been installed here.
The main bedroom opposite has older-style built-in cupboards but benefits from the light through the original sash windows and a 50s-era gas heater with brick surround which could be converted to a contemporary gas fireplace with ease.
A central dining section benefits from a custom mini-bar with wine glass storage.
The gorgeous kitchen opposite has convenient drawer storage, white 2pac cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances and more sash windows, creating that sought-after juxtaposition between the old and the new.
The second bedroom features more period features.
A study, bathroom and laundry complete the floor plan.
Step down to the large backyard with a pergola, shed/entertaining space and a second smaller shed for storage.
