Screened by private hedges rounding the flat 641sqms (approx.) corner, this hideaway home carries all the character of its mid-century origins, presenting in picture perfect condition. Its cherished north facing aspect bathes the entire home in gorgeous light, promising a bright future in the sought-after school zone for Old Orchard Primary and Blackburn High (STSA) and its award-winning music program.
A signature front porch with elaborate steel screening serves as a beautiful sunroom, adding to the home's generous living and dining rooms overlooking the private garden. Character corniced ceilings and picture rails capture the decorative beauty of the 'Mad Men' era, while new carpets, fresh paintwork, and an upright modern cooker in the kitchen add some modern touches.
The floor plan appeals with its easy living layout – bedrooms in the corners, kitchen and living front and centre, and a big versatile laundry out back with potential for a powder room or 3rd bathroom. A vintage ensuite bathroom in immaculate condition features a pedestal vanity and a concrete shower pan, with an updated main bathroom at the intersection of the hallway.
Gated access, a crossover, carport and fenced rear garden provide plenty of secure car parking and a lovely outdoor area for children to play or weekend BBQs. For those who admire 60s design, this is a rare treasure. For buyers keen to build on this prime corner of Kerr St and Norway Ave, there's opportunity to redevelop (STCA) at the very heart of Blackburn, close to Blackburn Square and Box Hill shops, Blackburn station, the Eastern Fwy and Box Hill's public and private hospitals.
