An intelligently renovated home from the Art Deco era, in a sought-after position within McKinnon Secondary College's catchment, this circa-1930, solid brick constructed residence has been dramatically transformed into a home with brilliant zoning and joyful connections to its elevated, 640 square metres (approx.) garden allotment. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a studio / office and bold alfresco entertainers' spirit, with clear parents and kids' wings as well as 2 separate entries, the home is brilliant today while offering scope for a reimagination that could easily involve multigenerational living.
Light and airy with an impressive sense of proportion and a verdant garden backdrop, the home exudes a timeless and freewheeling sense of relaxed style with a welcoming warmth as it spills out to a broad entertainers' deck. This is the perfect backdrop for weekends with family and friends, summer dining under the stars and large-scale gatherings, again with zones for adults and children to enjoy each other's company.
Underpinned by a stone-topped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, the open-plan is organised around an open fireplace, while huge concertina doors and 2 sets of double doors open up to embrace all the year-round alfresco possibilities of the deck which is partly undercover and sheltered by side blinds.
A cleverly zoned family design allows parents to enjoy the sanctuary of their own 'wing' with a primary bedroom where a stone-topped ensuite with a large walk-in shower is conveniently accessed via spacious walk-through robes. Meanwhile, the remaining bedrooms form a 'children's wing' that is well removed and conveniently positioned to enjoy easy access to the home's second bathroom.
Entered securely via video intercom and with gated driveway parking for three vehicles, the home creates an attractive street presence, set behind a deck that basks in afternoon sun while delivering an appealing vantage point for sitting and watching the world wander by. Meanwhile, at the rear of the home, a freestanding studio / office is an attractive work-from-home space overlooking the backyard's firepit area.
With glossy and durable bamboo flooring throughout, the home also offers a spacious entrance / landing area, a guest powder room and a family laundry, as well as a double-glazed rear, impressive amount of attic storage, a secure workshop, ducted heating and split system air conditioning throughout.
Simply stroll around the corner for a coffee at Mr Burch, some great Italian at Tutto Bene and the village vibes of McKinnon Road, where McKinnon Railway Station offers an effortless commute to the CBD, plus you have all the vibrancy of Centre Road's shopping, dining and nightlife strip nearby as well.
