Where the back fence gives way to the gentle bend of Kororoit Creek, this 1950 weatherboard has spent more than seven decades perfecting the art of the slow morning. Dressed in sage green beneath a classic tiled roof, with a verandah that wraps around its front and side, it greets you with the kind of warmth only time and care can create.
Step through the period front door, vintage hand knocker and all, into a hallway framed by decorative cornices. The living and dining room is the natural gathering place, anchored by a classic brick mantel and kept comfortable year round by a split system and ceiling fan.
In the kitchen, emerald cabinetry and a rich red tiled splashback bring a playful retro spirit, while gas cooking, a breakfast bench and a walk-in pantry keep everything practical. Best of all, the window above the sink frames nothing but treetops.
Three bedrooms sit quietly along the hall, each with a ceiling fan and the second with built-in robes, served by a neat bathroom and separate laundry.
Outside, a freshly landscaped garden unfolds with lush lawn, a blossoming feature tree and a winding brick path, while the single garage adds secure parking and storage.
And then there's the creek. Walking trails and open parkland wait just beyond the back fence, with Sunshine Heights Primary School, Sunshine College West Campus, Marian College, the station and the Sunshine precinct all close by.
Creekside calm, character charm and a backyard that feels like it keeps on going. This is one to fall for.
