This immaculate three-bedroom weatherboard house takes you back in time as you step up to the front door.

Inside, its post war features are enhanced by modern comforts.

The abode has high ceilings and hardwood floors polished to a high gleam, while light cream walls make the open spaces even more airy.

Glide down the corridor from the entry way to the vast open plan family zone at the centre of the house where dining and living room meet kitchen. The latter space has beautiful cream-coloured cabinets accented with stainless-steel appliances, shiny glass splashback and island bar.

Windows all around this living zone reflect light, while french doors open to an expansive decked area reclining beneath a gabled and winged pergola. Throw a party in this large entertainment space, kick back with family barbecues or watch the kids play. Steps descend to a backyard with lawns and mature shrubs. There is more than enough room for play or for gardening projects.

Back inside, all three bedrooms have picture rails, elegant period pendants suspended from above and soft carpeting. Two have views of the front garden. The main bedroom has a large walk-in robe and a connecting door to the central bathroom.

Large, airy and bright, the bathroom’s tiled space has a corner spa, dual basins sitting atop a smart chocolate-toned vanity and fittings that are faithful to the house’s heritage.

Children can hit their homework books or the computer in the study nook that sits just outside the third bedroom and within clear sight of the living zone.

A laundry has ample cabinets and a backdoor provides easy access to the backyard. Several other comforts include a double garage, security system, ducted heating and evaporative cooling.

Stroll to Albion train station, walk the 65 metres to St Teresa Primary School with the kids or take a quick drive to Sunshine central for the groceries and restaurants.
