2/28 Duke Street Ashburton

A classic example of the renowned builders, Fasham Johnson's finest architectural excellence, this spacious, three-bedroom residence has been brilliantly crafted to embrace the natural light of its broad northern orientation. Offered for the very first time in nearly 40 years and seamlessly connected to its garden-surrounded and sun-drenched front courtyard, this much-loved home blends low maintenance alfresco style with family-friendly proportions, in a peaceful setting just a short walk from Ashburton Village.

Intelligently designed with plenty of usable bench space and storage, the open-plan kitchen/meals/living gazes out upon the north-facing sanctuary of its courtyard, while semi-attached lounge and dining sit under cathedral ceilings with similarly delightful outlooks. The master suite is superb with walk-in robes and a huge decadent (spa bath) ensuite, whilst the upstairs bedrooms - both with storage and one with built-in robes - are adjacent to a second bathroom. Additional highlights in this well-considered home include central heating and air conditioning, split system heating and air conditioning, solar power as well as a laundry and double lock-up garage.

Simply wander down to High St for a village-like atmosphere, great cafes, shops, fine dining and city-bound trains, plus you have Ashburton Recreation Centre a little further down the road. Only a short 2 min (230m) walk to the Ferndale trail which links to Gardiners Creek Trail and beyond to the Yarra trail.
