From first glance, you will be struck by the impressive street appeal of 40 Yardley Avenue. The original cottage was constructed in 1930, and a thoughtful renovation has transformed this home into the beautifully presented triple-gabled Queenslander you see today. A seamless connection between indoor and outdoor space, including an enviable entertainment deck, defines this home.
Entering upstairs via an idyllic front porch, you will find two bedrooms located at the front of the home, each with ceiling fans and air-conditioning. The first bedroom opens directly to the front patio via bifold timber doors while the second has built-in wardrobes and window bay storage.
Continuing further into the home, a centrally located kitchen overlooks an open plan living and dining area with soaring ceilings, stained glass windows, and VJ walls. An oversized oven, 5-plate gas cooktop and double dishwashers ensures easy catering in this kitchen with an abundance of bench and storage space.
The living space flows seamlessly onto an expansive entertaining deck, which is truly massive. An ideal space for entertaining or relaxing solo, it is a private and tranquil haven from busy family life and can be utilised all year round with a television mount, ceiling fan, and gas heating available. The deck overlooks a large and flat back garden and sparkling in-ground pool; notable is the 7kw solar power & pool with 2m deep end. An automatic awning can be opened to allow for additional sun protection for playing children and pets.
The master bedroom is spacious and has private access to the entertaining deck, and boasts an automatic blind, ensuite with double shower heads and massive 2.5m x 3m dressing room. Downstairs are additional two bedrooms plus rumpus room, which flows to a covered patio. A spacious laundry and toilet are available with direct access to the drying area. The current owners have had plans drawn up to double the size of the rumpus and install another full bathroom.
The home is within walking distance to Ashgrove Central and the Newmarket Shopping Centre, which has been recently refurbished with a cinema and entertainment precinct. Playgrounds, bike paths, and the acres of bushland at the Banks Street Reserve are a stone's throw away. Families will appreciate being within the desirable Oakleigh State School catchment areas, while the private Marist College Ashgrove and Mt St Michael's are within easy reach.
