Don't be fooled by the charming cottage façade you see from the street - because, to borrow a line from a classic television series (think Doctor Who), this one is bigger on the inside!
And just like that TV show with its iconic blue telephone box, this home is guaranteed to be a hit with the whole family! Beyond the front door you are met with original hardwood floors, timber-framed windows, French doors and a very family friendly layout offering great separation of spaces exactly when you need it. Kids will love the downstairs family room with its flow out to the sprawling back yard and pool, while you can drink in the spectacular views along with your glass of wine from the upstairs deck before retiring to the master - cleverly located in a separate wing of the house from the rest of the bedrooms for that often-needed peace and quiet.
Meanwhile, the location is second to none for a growing family. Not only is the home privy to a serene, leafy aspect and elevated views from its north-facing back deck plus a quiet street with minimal traffic to the front, but it is also a very short walk to catchment Kenmore High around the corner, making the school drop off a thing of the past. Even the catchment primary is an easy 15-minute walk away and right by Kenmore Village with its smorgasbord of shops, restaurants, amenities and bus stops, promising a very metropolitan family lifestyle that doesn't compromise on space or serenity!
Spring selling season is well and truly underway, and a family home such as this will certainly be no exception to the current fervour in the market. View while you can!
