THE SEARCH
For the couple leaving the apartment behind. The young family after their first real backyard. The downsizer done with stairs and done with upkeep.
Different starting points. The same wish.
A front door that's yours alone. Somewhere quiet to come home to. Room outside to breathe. And an address that never goes out of style.
A place to live well now, with room to make it yours.
THE STORY
Meet The Getaway on Anderson Road.
Walk down the driveway and the street falls away behind you. The sky opens up. It feels like somewhere nobody else knows about.
Tucked at the very back of the block. Private. Quiet. All on one level.
A red maple glows by the front door. Step inside and down into the living room. Light from both ends. The kitchen sits right there, so whoever's cooking stays part of the conversation. A study nook takes the laptop or the homework.
Then the glass doors slide back. The deck doubles the living space. Dinner moves outside and nobody's in a hurry to come in. Ever pictured it covered? With the right approvals, it could become a second living room you use all year round.
The main bedroom opens to its own private deck. A quiet glass of wine at the end of the day, just for you. Built-in robes and an ensuite complete it.
Two more bedrooms look out to the maple and share the main bathroom. Beyond the decks, a garden. A laundry with outside access. A lock-up garage and a carport, so arriving is always easy.
For a villa, the land and outdoor space here is uncommon. Live in it as it is now. Take it further over time.
THE LIFE
Saturday starts with a walk to Anderson Park, coffee in hand. Tooronga Village for the weekly shop. Camberwell Junction when the afternoon wants more.
School mornings stay simple. Zoned for Auburn South Primary and Auburn High, with Bialik, Scotch and St Kevin's close by.
The Burke Road tram is at the end of the street. Kooyong and Camberwell stations and the Monash are easy to reach when the week calls.
Then you turn down the driveway, and the street falls away again.
Everyone needs somewhere to get away to. Most people have to drive to find it.
