Getting that delicate balance of old and new just right, 3 Bowey Avenue is a versatile Art Deco-era home that's had many of its gorgeous 50s décor features refurbished and retained, but an equal if not greater measure of modern comforts incorporated to ensure homelife is blissful whether you're at rest or play.
From the leadlight panelling on its entry doors, to an exquisitely detailed ceiling rose above the lounge, fancy cornices throughout and the polished timber floorboards that span the front lounge, a bright dining area and adjacent kitchen - there's charm aplenty on show. On the flipside, newly installed ducted AC keeps things cool or cosy wherever you are inside, and the modern kitchen is tricked up with a full complement of sparkling stainless appliances, along with easy-clean tiled splashbacks.
All up there are 3 carpeted bedrooms, 2 with BIRs - one of these sitting beside a homework-ready study nook with an excellent built-in desk and storage/shelving unit. Branching off the dining area, the third room is the largest and, if not seconded as the master, could function as a playroom for a few years if there's only one child in tow! Family-sized with a shower and tub, the main bathroom has been refurbished in more recent years with bright white tiling and chrome tapware.
Entertaining outside will be a cinch here with the kitchen opening directly onto a spacious covered alfresco patio. Concrete underfoot makes for easy post-party cleaning with a quick blast of the hose, and the timber-topped bar provides a great vantage point for watching a family cricket match in the lawned backyard, which could be transformed into an urban oasis by an avid green thumb.
Less than 10 km to town, with regular buses running from stops nearby if you want to leave the car at home, this is a top inner-north location, well-serviced by public and private schools, one-stop shopping centres and bustling entertainment hubs like Prospect Rd's Village precinct.
