Overview

Big on Space, Rich in Character

In a tree-lined street nestled in a sought-after neighbourhood, this charming home epitomises character with its bay window, leadlight details and shingle gables. But inside, the living area has been transformed into an open-plan expanse, with skylights to pull in the sun and seamless connection to a big back garden on 728 sqm with BBQ area, easy-care planters and plenty of lawn for kicking a ball. A short walk to neighbourhood eateries and shops, it's an easy drive to The Palms, Merivale and the city, making this position-perfect for busy families. To the rear, the open-plan living is a generous expanse, easily accommodating dining and sitting areas, and a smart contemporary kitchen with sleek cabinetry and a breakfast bar. A timber-lined ceiling above the dining area and original cabinetry in the lounge inject character, while a radiator system adds warmth and winter comfort. Adjacent to the kitchen is a combined laundry/scullery with separate sinks and counter space, adding practicality for the keenest home baker or entertainer. The master bedroom includes a chic en suite, while three more bedrooms plus an office share a tiled family bathroom with bath. Both bathrooms feature underfloor heating for added comfort and warmth. Outside, there's a separate garage, while the garden has been painstakingly landscaped with brick edging, making it easy to maintain a manicured look, and a large, sealed area is bathed in sun. In this enviable location, you'll enjoy a stroll along leafy streets to popular local café The Origin and other shops. A short drive or bike ride will whisk you to all the amenities of The Palms, Merivale Village, Northlands Shopping Centre, Edgeware and the central city. Little wonder why this is such a sought-after area! Don't miss this very special opportunity. Contact the agent without delay to view.
