Overview

Contemporary style and comfort in this thoughtfully updated home short walk to cafes and light rail!

High end inclusions and finishes are highlighted in this renovated home, situated in a perfect Inner North location, only a stroll across the oval to Gang Gang cafe and a short walk to the Dickson restaurant and shopping precinct, as well as light rail for a smooth trip into the City! The home has excellent updated street appeal with feature stone work, rendered finish and roof restoration, complemented by the attractively landscaped garden. Contemporary style is showcased from the wide entry and hallway. Neutral white decor, attractive laminate flooring and LED downlighting extend into the light filled, open plan living area, which flows through to the huge, north facing rear deck. The dining area is bathed in light from the stylish, turn-and-tilt double glazed windows which feature throughout the home and include picture windows, highlighting the quality of the renovation. Cordless honeycomb blinds furnish the dining area. Double brick construction to this well designed, extended front section of the home also adds to thermal efficiency. Showcasing the beauty of granite in the island bench and stone side benchtops, the modern kitchen is well equipped with a 900 mm ILVE four burner gas cooktop, hotplate and oven. In addition there is an AEG double oven with steam and Micromat-combi ovens, Asko dishwasher and a massive amount of storage in soft close joinery. The adjacent laundry can provide even more preparation space with a stone benchtop and wall of storage. Double glass doors open to the lounge, with a perfect north aspect and a reverse cycle air conditioner, which flows seamlessly onto the impressive Merbau timber deck. This easily caters for larger gatherings, enjoying a private outlook over the beautifully landscaped rear garden. The spacious primary bedroom opens onto the front terrace, sheltered by hedging. It offers a wall of built-in robes and a reverse cycle air conditioner, as does the second bedroom. The updated bathroom includes a bath with a shower. An auto door encloses the carport, from where there is secure access into the home and lockable storage. On the opposite side of the house, double gates open to the rear garden with secure parking for a trailer or recreational vehicles. Three raised veggie beds and pear, feijoa, apricot, orange and apple trees offer the delight of fresh produce. Grassy playspace is bordered by attractive, low maintenance landscaping and there is a garden shed. This great location, in a peaceful street, is only a short walk to a park with a playground and pre-school. Many sought-after schools and Dickson swimming pool are all within easy reach.
