Nestled between two of the “top streets” of Leongatha – Ogilvy and Jeffrey, quiet Somerset Court takes advantage of no through traffic, and exceptional proximity to shops and schools. In fact, the attractive play ground over the back fence ensures minimal neighbour exposure, and a “wide open spaces” outlook with distant hills beyond.
The stylish, open plan living space and easy access from house-to-garden-to-shops strongly suggests that this particular property, in the bowl of the court, will suit a retired couple, or those seeking a “townhouse” style property. Built in the level-roof style typical of the era, the ceilings are surprisingly high, giving the interior an airy and classy feel. A beautifully light kitchen has oodles of cupboard space. A pantry wall opposite the fridge, island bar and dishwasher all contribute to this excellent hostess fitout. A comfortable living room, with big windows, and a warming gas log fire in a set back brick hearth, looks out to the colourful front garden. A clever floor plan has the laundry conveniently off the kitchen – why don’t they do that any more? – with the toilet and main bathroom adjoining. A separate hallway leads to the three bedrooms, all of decent proportion, and with built in robes. A small ensuite to the main bedroom provides separate shower, and second toilet.
There is an extra living space – call it a sun room – off the kitchen, permitting meals or a book in the winter sunshine overlooking a pretty back garden that is sufficiently well established to keep you occupied, yet not too much work if gardening is not your style! A paved driveway, carport, oversized garden shed and secure fencing complete the outdoors. There are quality blinds throughout, attractive creamy cottage décor, split system air conditioner, and plenty of storage for linen, boots and more, strategically positioned throughout!
There is scope to modernize: the style of this property will respond well, but really, there’s no need to alter a thing. Priced and positioned to please, and with personality abounding, this one is worth a look.
