When you think about your warmest childhood memories what comes to mind? Playing board games on the lounge room floor, playing under the sprinkler or the front lawn, riding your bike as fast as you could down the drive way or making blanket caves under the dining table? 19 Walker Street, St Helens is a home where these memories are waiting to be made.
Built in the 1950s this is the kind of home families remember growing up in. Solid brick, timber floors underfoot, oversized living areas and a feeling that life here has always been easy, relaxed and full of good memories.
Over the years, the home has been updated to make everyday living comfortable for today's family, while still keeping the character and warmth that makes older homes so appealing including a full kitchen renovation that now boasts great storage and functional bench spaces; the near new wood heater and reverse cycle air conditioning and plenty more. In addition, the original bathroom has been updated while still leaving room for the next owners to slowly add their own style and touches over time.
The partially enclosed patio area is ideal for kids spilling in from outside, keeping the dog out of the house and also out of the weather, and the perfect place to get in out of the weather to save bringing wet feet inside. It is also a perfect place for plants and even if you're not a green thumb, this area is going to make it look like you are!
Set on approximately three quarters of an acre, the block is flat, fully fenced and incredibly usable. There's room here for cricket games, trampolines, veggie gardens, pets and space to breathe. Raised garden beds, established low maintenance gardens and excellent shedding all add to the practicality of the property, including a double carport, double garage and additional outbuildings.
The north facing deck off the living area is a standout feature being sunny, private and peaceful, it feels like an extension of the home and a place where you'll naturally spend a lot of your time.
Set well back from the street with no permanent neighbours nearby, the property enjoys a level of quiet and privacy that is becoming harder to find, especially this close to town. Kids can walk to school, the sports grounds and nearby facilities, while parents will appreciate the convenience of town services only moments away.
19 Walker Street is not about flashy trends or pretending to be something it's not. It's a solid, honest family home with great bones, real character and the kind of lifestyle many families are chasing but struggle to find.
A home where kids can be kids. Where there's space to grow. And where the next chapter is ready to begin.
If you would like to secure your next family home at a price that is becoming harder and harder to find, then please call Heidi Howe and her team today at Harcourts St Helens to arrange a time to view your new home in person or virtually.
