A beautiful mid-century blueprint already refurbed, re-inspired, and wrapped in rendered solid brick charm; 16 Bellavista Avenue unveils a dependable 50s footprint, while flourishing with exciting scope to extend and elevate (STCC) this coveted Clapham parcel across 680sqm of picture-perfect lifestyle potential.
With hallmark character features now so sought-after - from pine timber floors, gallery windows, and high ceilings, as well as a light-spilling lounge free-flowing into an open-plan dining and kitchen - the blend of yesteryear elegance meets modern household needs with point and purpose. Happy days and fun-filled nights are brought together around the spacious foodie's zone, where sweeping bench tops, striking shaker cabinetry, and gleaming appliances are ready to do the heavy lifting making cooking stress-free and socialising as you serve a top priority.
The right size for couples looking to plant their feet as much as budding families with little legs already on the run, this bright and airy 3-bedroom floorplan offers instant comfort and convenience with a stylish bathroom sitting centrally. An updated laundry and second WC bookend the back, and there's ducted evaporative AC too ready to soothe the summer sun.
Though it's a step outside that really starts to stir the imagination. Beyond the brick-paved alfresco delighting outdoor diners and balmy evening hangs, north-facing sunshine pours across a bed of lush kid and pet-friendly lawns serving up all your vitamin D needs, kick of the footy, or just lazy arvo's embracing blue-sky views. A small compromise to renovate and extend out here, you're still left with plenty of green space to cherish, while a wide block sees the driveway continue all the way to a workshop/garage with yet more possibilities to create a rumpus retreat or studio home office.
And for the green thumbs or anyone chasing the backyard dream, this beautifully established garden is also dotted with a suite of fruit trees including apple, apricot, plum, orange, lemon and lime - a family-friendly bonus that brings charm, sustainability, and sweetness to your daily lifestyle.
Finding such excellent ingredients to bring short-term comfort coupled with incredible opportunity to re-imagine this beautiful address cannot be overstated. Plus, sitting on the cusp of the character-rich Colonel Light Gardens, a stone's throw to Mitcham Square, and a bee-line to the CBD by way of car, bus or train… calling Clapham home has never looked so right!
