A warm and welcoming family hideaway in the zone for both McKinnon Secondary College and McKinnon Primary School, this charming 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom residence has been variously refurbished and extended to merge an appealing current day comfort with the opportunity to plan boldly for tomorrow. Set on a peaceful, north-facing garden parcel of 631 sqm (approx.), the home evokes a genuine sense of sanctuary, while the scope to cosmetically improve, eventually extend or even start a fresh (all STCA) are all rewarding options in this location of enduring market appeal.
Set well back from the street and nestled within secure, established gardens, the home opens to reveal the warmth of rich polished hardwood flooring, a sunny north-facing alfresco flow and lush leafy outlooks to soothe the senses.
At its heart, a renovated kitchen with Bosch induction cooking steps down to informal family meals / living and outdoors to a paved entertaining area that captures plenty of sunshine, while at the front of the home, lounge and dining rooms are ambient spaces with leafy outlooks designed for carefree family living.
The bedrooms are all set upstairs, well away from living and appointed with substantial built-in robe storage while sharing easy access to a pair of bathrooms with the 3rd bathroom conveniently positioned downstairs.
A large lock-up garage is an added bonus whilst the front yard can offer secure driveway parking for another 3 vehicles as well as ample opportunity for children and pets to explore. Further highlights include wall panel heaters, an air conditioner / heater and a modern split system to ensure year-round enjoyment.
Immediate family comfort can perfectly align with a long-term vision in this location on the cusp of all the cafes, dining, bars and an IGA on Ormond's North Road strip where city-bound trains can be found at Ormond Railway Station, while there is plenty more shopping and dining to be found on both Centre Road and Koornang Road, terrific local parkland and easy access to both GESAC and the Carnegie Memorial Swimming Pool.
