Skilful, architectural design delivers abundant natural light and fine craftsmanship, undoubtedly built to last within this unique early 1960's time capsule, providing nostalgic spaces within a carefully considered, extensive layout. Resting on a superb land holding of 962 sqm (approx.) on a prized north-west corner allotment, discover unhindered scope to enjoy the spacious mid-century interior and surrounding established gardens or realise the potential to extend, renovate or redevelop (STCA).
Adored by the same family for over four decades, the tightly held home boasts predominantly original features such as solid wood panelling, hardwood flooring, pure wool carpets, flocked wallpaper and a bespoke timber kitchen featured in a leading home and lifestyle magazine circa 1960s.
Entry is via a secure, lockable vestibule which leads to a broad entrance foyer introducing the living and relaxation zones comprising an expansive, north facing lounge room with open fireplace, formal dining room, separate den/sitting room, generous kitchen with updated Miele/Siemens/Chef appliances and a casual meals room opening to the private front garden. Additionally, a sunny paved terrace flowing from the entrance delivers an idyllic spot to enjoy alfresco meals.
Accommodation is zoned down the long hallway with the main bedroom featuring built in robes plus a separate dressing room also lined with robes and storage. Two further bedrooms, each fitted with built in robes and study desks are accompanied by the fourth bedroom/home office and a gloriously retro bathroom with a corner spa bath, separate shower room and a separate toilet. The large laundry/storage room and a powder room are located at the rear and lead to the extensive, wrap-around rear garden with a double garage and carport.
There is so much to love about this impeccably maintained home with its sprawling floorplan embraced by sunny gardens that can easily be moved straight into while realising the full potential of the endless opportunities it affords for the future. Walking distance from Ashburton Park, Ashburton Village, Warrigal Road shops, Ashburton train station and Ashburton Primary School. Close to M1/Citylink access, Chadstone Shopping Centre, Gardiners Creek trail, leading schools and buses.
