Overview

One-Owner Charmer In A Sought-After Area

OPPORTUNITY. This charming home holds a special place in Mitcham's history. Built in 1950 with a strong hardwood frame, it stands as one of the first on the road, predating esteemed Owen Street. Established when the area was still farmland, bush and orchards, it has remained in the same family ever since. Today, it presents an exciting opportunity for those wishing to step into, scale down or invest in Mitcham. PROPERTY. Embraced by fenced gardens brimming with colour and bursting with fragrance, the home is privately shielded from Rooks Road by established greenery. A level entrance with a small step welcomes you inside, where tall ceilings, picture rails and sash windows inject timeless character into its traditional floorplan. Fronted by a spacious lounge with feature windows framing the surrounding gardens like artwork, the home immediately radiates warmth. The kitchen is neat and functional, equipped with an electric upright cooker, a breakfast bar and an adjoining meals area that is wrapped by a corner window. Two generous bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation and are serviced by a central bathroom with a shower, vanity, toilet and mirrored medicine cabinets. A breezeway with storage connects to a laundry and leads out to a sunny side deck and gravel alfresco area, backed by more of those beautiful gardens. Additional features include CCTV cameras, a Daikin split system air conditioner, an energy-efficient smart hot water service with Wi-Fi controls, upgraded electrics and plumbing (including drainage), external shade blinds, a repointed terracotta roof, a 2,100-litre water tank, a shed and a new carport on a freshly laid driveway accommodating up to three cars. LOCATION. The home's position provides outstanding lifestyle convenience, within walking distance to bus stops, Mitcham Train Station (approximately 10 minutes), Charles Rooks Reserve, parks, Mount Pleasant Road Primary School and the scenic pipeline track to Forest Hill. It is also close to Mullauna College, Rangeview shops, Brentford Square, Eastland, Homemaker HQ, EastLink and the Eastern freeway, offering a 20 minute-commute into the CBD. DETAILS.
