Ashwood

An impressively preserved mid-century classic in a Cul-De-Sac, impeccably presented and lavishly light-filled, all on an elevated allotment of 689 square metres (approx.), this beautifully refurbished three bedroom home is offered for the first time in 56 years in a tranquil family pocket just metres from Gardiners Creek bike track. One of the area’s earliest residence, originally presiding over what was once a market garden, this is a significant home, filled with mid-century chic and offering the perfect balance of current day livability and future potential to renovate, rebuild or redevelop (all STCA). Rich timber paneling is complemented by an original mural feature wall while revealing a built-in bar that evokes a sense of 1960s glamour in a large lounge / dining room that flows effortlessly to a sundrenched terrace. Meanwhile, the kitchen / meals gazes out upon the depths of a backyard in which established fruit trees are complemented by sun-drawing veggie patches, plus there are big and bright bedrooms – two with a wall of built-in robes – as well as a traditional bathroom with separate wc, a laundry, ducted heating and split system air conditioning. This is a wonderful family setting near endless parklands, terrific local cafes, Ashwood High School and plenty of shopping. A Woolworths is around the corner, while all the charms of Ashburton Village, Burwood Village and Chadstone Shopping Centre are just down the road where city-bound trains and trams to Deakin University also offer easy commuting.
