Overview

Family home in Mckinnon zone with northern rear

Built in 1923 on an oversized 459m2 approx. block with side and rear lane access, this well maintained three bedroom timber bungalow in the McKinnon Secondary College zone has all the creature comforts of today, while offering future promise for tomorrow. With approved plans for a superb four bedroom plus study, two and a half bathroom family home with three living areas and off street parking from the front, there are options to develop the block, renovate the existing home or rebuild to the approved plans, taking advantage of the northern rear aspect and family friendly community. The existing home enjoys high ceilings, decorative cornices and mouldings, and hardwood floorboards, along with the family comforts of a traditional verandah, an inviting living room with Cannon gas fireplace, a flexible dining room/playroom/study, a slate tiled TV and meals area with contemporary kitchen, three good size bedrooms with robes, a central slate floored bathroom with claw foot bath, and a modernised laundry with separate toilet. The north facing rear garden extends the living space with its expansive covered alfresco area, plenty of lawn for play, and a double garage that doubles as storage, extra living space or secure parking with easy lane access. Remaining temperate with reverse cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans, this McKinnon treasure is bound for new things in time. Metres to the beautiful Allnutt Park and nestled between Centre Road shopping and the charm of McKinnon Village, with a choice of two train stations. Walk to Wattle Grove Reserve, childcare and the Middle Brighton bus, and zoned for Ormond Primary School.
