Tucked away at the very end of a peaceful court and enjoying a truly special position adjoining the natural surrounds of Alex Wilkie Nature Reserve, this substantial family home presents a rare opportunity to restore, renovate and create something truly your own.
Surrounded by beautiful established gardens and set on approximately 664m², the home is largely original and ready for its next chapter. There is no disguising that work is required, but beneath its dated interiors lies a spacious and well-proportioned home that speaks to a different era, one when generous rooms, solid construction and space for the whole family were at the heart of good design.
A large entry foyer introduces the home, with polished hardwood floors continuing through to the impressive formal lounge and dining room. Generous in scale and filled with natural light, this is a wonderful space that immediately hints at just how special the home could once again become.
The accommodation includes 4 bedrooms, 3 with built-in robes, while the main bedroom enjoys a walk in robe and the added convenience of its own ensuite. The kitchen and adjoining meals area remain largely original, providing an exciting blank canvas for those ready to introduce a fresh contemporary vision. A sunroom, added over the years and accessed from the meals area, provides further space and a connection to the garden.
Outside is where the unique character of this property truly comes into its own. Established gardens wrap around the home, creating a series of quiet pockets and secluded places to sit, relax and take in the surrounding greenery. Along the rear boundary, cyclone wire fencing allows the natural backdrop of Alex Wilkie Nature Reserve to become part of the outlook, a wonderfully peaceful setting that feels far removed from suburban life.
Completing the property is a substantial brick garage with an adjoining large workshop, offering excellent space for vehicles, hobbies, storage or the home tradesperson.
Despite its wonderfully secluded position, everyday convenience is only minutes away. A nearby pedestrian walkway provides easy access through to the Springvale South Shopping Centre, Springvale South Tennis Club, local playground, Scout Hall and bus services along Springvale Road. Athol Road Primary School and Keysborough Secondary College's Banksia Campus are also within walking distance, while Alex Nelson Reserve and its sporting facilities are just around the corner.
Much has changed since this home was first created, but its generous proportions, established garden setting and exceptional position remain. For the buyer with imagination and an appreciation for what can be achieved, this fabulous family home offers the chance to take it from another era and make it wonderful once again.
