AUCTION THIS SATURDAY | This lovingly maintained single level weatherboard home, offered for the first time in 30 years, creates a lasting impression with its warmth and character. Nestled behind a private fence on a flat allotment of 811m2 with a wide 20.12m frontage, the possibilities are endless for a family to move in and enjoy or add their own flair and extra updates. The position is truly remarkable, just 2 homes away from the beauty of the Yarra River, with river trails and the delights of Finns Reserve and Wombat Bend playground. Adding further assurance is the easy walking proximity to the boutique cafes at Templestowe Village, and nearby city bus services.
The proportions in this home invite versatility, entering via a front porch and lush open front garden. Inside comprises a lounge and separate kitchen equipped with a Gaggenau induction cooktop and oven. Adjoining is a north facing dining area with cosy wood fired heater, that merges to an entertaining deck with private garden aspect. The secure rear garden features a mature fig tree providing both privacy and summer shade. A separate outdoor covered entertaining/carport area with built-in barbeque, oven and fridge is the perfect place to enjoy a drink after work, and a segway to an adjoining tandem garage with workshop/storage, perfect for the home handyman. The property is further enhanced by multiple external storage areas, two phase power and a brick paved driveway with off-street parking for a further 4 cars.
The home provides three well-proportioned bedrooms and a neat bathroom with shower over bath and timber vanity, and a second WC in the laundry. Including a master with both freestanding and built-in robes and lovely garden outlook. Several features enhance the layout, including split systems x 4, water tanks (8,000L total capacity) with pumps connected to the laundry and WCs. A unique feature is a sophisticated cat run that flows around the perimeter of the back garden incorporating the fig tree.
Live here comfortably, extend with another level or build out onto the spacious north-facing rear garden (STCA). With further opportunity to invest and lease out to capitalise on the incredible location for years to come.
Contributing to the location’s appeal is the proximity to Westfield Doncaster and Macedon Square, along with The Pines Shopping Centre. Surrounded by great schools, with zoning to Templestowe College and Templestowe Valley Primary, Templestowe Heights Primary, St Kevin’s Primary and Marcellin College, plus excellent private Kew school connections. The local parkland leads you via Yarra River walking/cycling tracks to Westerfolds Park, with Templestowe and Powerful Owl Park providing great sporting facilities. Minutes drive to major hospitals, the city via the freeway, and airport links. The possibilities with this rare park side retreat are truly endless!
