Set in one of Mitchelton's finest streets, behind a gorgeous white picket fence and arbor framed by jasmine, this superbly renovated and extended post-war residence presents an exceptional family lifestyle, combining timeless character with modern functionality. Positioned on a 501sqm allotment with a perfect north-eastern rear aspect, the home offers four bedrooms plus a study, three bathrooms and secure two-car lock-up accommodation.
Originally constructed in the 1950s by the Skipworth family, the property has only been held by two owners, a reflection of the tightly held and highly regarded nature of this address. Since purchasing the home almost 21 years ago, the current owners have meticulously renovated, extended and cherished the property, creating a warm and inviting home ready for its next chapter.
At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, designed to bring family and friends together. Enhanced by raked 3.2m ceilings, solid blackbutt flooring and a beautifully appointed kitchen with butler's pantry and quality Smeg and Bosch appliances including dual ovens, combi steam oven, warming drawer and dishwasher, this space is both highly functional and incredibly inviting. Bifold windows and sliding doors create a seamless connection to the expansive undercover deck and pool area, making entertaining effortless across every season.
The outdoor living area is a true highlight, enjoying the ideal north-eastern rear aspect and overlooking the magnesium salt pool. With solar heating and porcelain tiled surrounds, the pool has been thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance enjoyment, while the large deck provides the perfect setting for relaxed weekends, celebrations and everyday family living.
The charm of the original post-war home has been carefully preserved, with 2.7m ceilings, cypress pine floorboards and classic character details complemented by the functionality of the modern extension completed in 2018. The master bedroom captures gorgeous mountain vistas and features a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while the additional bedrooms are well appointed, including large built-in wardrobes to the second and third bedrooms.
The stylishly appointed main bathroom has been finished with floor-to-ceiling tiles, feature VJ detailing, a separate bath and wall-mounted vanity, creating a refined and practical space for families. A second bathroom, complete with two-way access from both the living area and entertainers' deck, services guests perfectly when hosting by the pool or enjoying the home's expansive indoor-outdoor layout.
The home has been comprehensively updated for modern comfort, including ducted and zoned reverse-cycle air conditioning throughout, insulation to the walls and ceilings, updated switchboard, 3kW solar, natural gas hot water with infinity heater, and replacement of almost all doors and windows within the past eight years. Further practicality is provided by excellent under-house workshop and storage space, along with a generous attic area with approximately 15 to 20sqm of usable space.
Offering a rare combination of position, character, renovation quality and lifestyle appeal, this is a home that delivers immediate comfort in one of Mitchelton's most desirable pockets.
