Secure a slice of this tightly held pocket of Sunshine which is brilliantly enhanced by the rich history of its tree-lined street.
This four-bedroom gem delivers an exceptional combination of period elegance, contemporary quality and spacious family living – and the added bonus of a self-contained bungalow out the back.
The leafy surrounds on the 647-square-metre block include manicured gardens. The front is bordered by conifers and dotted with miniature roses, contrasted with a riotous collaboration of ferns and flax. And there’s a water feature out back.
Entry through double doors into the carpeted hallway reveals an expansive and flexible floor plan, easily manipulated to suit the changing needs of a growing family.
Three bedrooms down the hall’s left hand side have polished hardwood floorboards and door frames which complement ornate ceilings, cornices and rosettes.
A spacious family room, to the right of entry, is drenched in natural light thanks to a large floor-to-ceiling window – a design point in most of the rooms.
The adjacent meals area flows into the impressive, fully-appointed kitchen with granite benchtops, timber cabinetry and quality stainless-steel dishwasher, wall oven, integrated convection oven, gas cooktop and rangehood.
Through the laundry at the rear, the fully tiled main bathroom has a modern glass corner shower and bath.
Upstairs is dedicated to the main bedroom, along with a separate bathroom and toilet. The huge upstairs retreat is easily convertible to a man-cave or rumpus space for the kids.
Retreat to the tranquility of the backyard in the summer months and enjoy a beverage under the pergola where there’s a brick barbecue area. There are added storage, a fireplace and powder room in the bungalow – a great place for a teen to get their first taste of independence.
The property is enviably situated near transport, 20 minutes’ walking distance of schools and shops, and close to a football oval, newly upgraded Sunshine train station and Market Place shopping centre.
Extras include ducted heating, air-conditioning, alarm, a lock up garage and a carport.
