Cherished by one family for many years, this delightful home has a loving history. Tucked away in a secluded yet convenient position, it captures the best of Mitcham Foothills living an inviting place to feel at home and enjoy the lifestyle.
The 990sqm of land is perfectly proportioned and offers the kind of flat land that's hard to find in the hills. With a north-facing backyard, convenient access to the garage and workshop, and a gentle elevation that opens up an outlook to the environment and sky views, it's a wonderful place to live with that feeling of disconnect. And as a special bonus, the property is home to a beautiful oak tree.
The home was built in 1964 and presents well! Picture polished timber floors, maybe a coat of fresh paint, perhaps some new some furnishings and lighting and happy days. As a first home, or a young family starting on the journey and for those looking to downsize and tap into potential this is a wonderful buying opportunity.
Blackwood Primary and High Schools are a safe walk around the corner the kids will never be late! Karinya Reserve and skate park, Sturt Lions soccer, our famous Rec Centre for activities and the bike-hike trails of the Sturt Gorge opposite. And it's an easy walk to Coromandel Train station too.
The building is affectionately known as "The Boomerang," thanks to its distinctive layout, which separates the bedrooms from the main living areas. Constructed in solid brick beneath a cement-tiled roof, it features a thoughtfully designed hallway that leads from the formal entry through to the backyard, while also creating a natural divide between the private and living zones.
From the formal entry, sliding doors open into the spacious lounge and dining area. Original timber panelling, finished in a timeless matte look has been beautifully maintained. An in-built wood-fired combustion heater is complemented by a feature floor-to-ceiling adobe brick chimney, adding warmth and character to the room, while Large front windows frame views across the garden and the natural surroundings beyond, with no neighbours opposite just a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion.
The separate dining area sits alongside the kitchen, keeping family meals connected to the heart of the home. From the table, you can look out through the picture window to the front, or through the sliding glass doors to the paved, vine-covered pergola.
The all-white kitchen was beautifully updated a few years ago and enjoys views of the backyard. It offers generous storage and bench space, a freestanding gas cooktop and electric oven, a dishwasher, and dedicated space for the microwave and coffee machine. The original cork flooring still looks great in person, while the built-in dining table provides the perfect spot for the kids' morning routine or an end-of-day catch-up.
Private off the hallway are three great sized bedrooms. One has polished timber floors, and they all have a peaceful outlook. The original bathroom with Terrazzo concrete floor presents well, and there is a separate toilet.
The backyard is a beautiful space with plenty of potential. The family have enjoyed relaxing beneath the vine-covered pergola, connected to the home and shaded from the summer sun. It's the perfect spot for a barbecue and the old dartboard is still in play!
Easy side access from the driveway leads through to the backyard and a substantial garage/workshop, offering plenty of room to put your plans into action. Perfectly positioned on its block, the home leaves ample space to make the most of its beautiful setting.
