Edwardian Sanctuary in Lifestyle Locale
Rich in Edwardian charm and character, this beautifully renovated four-bedroom-plus-studio family sanctuary celebrates light-filled northerly facing open-plan living and entertaining in a leafy, family focussed neighbourhood in the heart of the coveted McKinnon Secondary College zone.
Privately set behind a high picket fence with lockable gate, the single-level weatherboard home’s picture-perfect façade has been freshly painted, and the broad, full-width timber verandah has been re-decked. Inside, original Baltic pine boards line the long central hallway that leads to the expansive open plan living and dining zone, bathed in natural light and enhanced with newly built custom joinery. Illuminated by a trio of pendant lights, the stone-topped island bench/breakfast bar defines the gleaming gourmet kitchen, equipped with a Blanco freestanding range and a Bosch dishwasher. Bi-folding glass French doors open to the alfresco entertaining deck and low-maintenance landscaped garden beds and mod-grass lawn/parking area behind an automated roller door with vehicle access to the rear laneway. Newly constructed, the elevated freestanding studio with reverse cycle heating/cooling, timber floors, and under floor storage could be ideal as a gym, home-office or teenager accommodation. Plushly carpeted, the main bedroom has French door access to the front verandah, a walk in robe and shower ensuite. The second bedroom also has verandah access and built-in robes, the third bedroom has built-in robes, plus there is a good-sized study or fourth bedroom. Additional features include central gas ducted heating, split system heating/cooling, and a security alarm. Positioned in the prestigious McKinnon Secondary College and Ormond Primary School zones, it’s just a short walk to McKinnon Village cafes and train station, Hawthorn Road tram, Allnutt Park, and Centre Road shopping and dining precinct.
