The leafy limbs of an avenue of mature trees create a welcoming, shady canopy as you enter Muriel Street, heightening the impression that this is a pocket of Prospect you'd love to call home.
And the property at Number 11 would perfectly suit buyers, providing a ticket for a young couple or family wanting to establish a foothold in this popular inner-northern suburb, for a couple looking to downsize, or for an investor seeking a solid asset.
The home is set among quality character residences on a street that links the highly desirable Barker and Johns Roads, and is just three blocks from buzzing Prospect Village, with its myriad of places to eat, shop, browse and be entertained.
The late 1980s build on a 287 square metre allotment (approx.) is neat, tidy and practical, with solid bones that would benefit from being fleshed out with some 2020s touches.
An appealing, cottage-like facade with carport leads into a practical and versatile floor plan, with a bright hallway flanked by two double bedrooms, plus a third, smaller front room that could serve as a child's bedroom, nursery or office/study.
The main bedrooms are opposite a bathroom that features a full-size tub alongside the shower. The laundry is another step or two down the hallway.
At the rear of the house, the main living area is a generous-sized, airy, open-plan space with the lounge adjoining the meals area and kitchen. An air-conditioner and heater keep you comfortable year-round.
Through a large window and sliding door is a full-width paved courtyard, lined with garden beds - with room for some herbs or vegies - and protected from the summer sun by shade sails.
Apart from the attractions and amenities along Prospect Road, this location is second to none for a young family, offering multiple nearby school and early-learning options, including Prospect and Prospect North Primary Schools and Blackfriars, Prescott and Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Colleges.
With public transport nearby on Prospect and Main North Roads and the CBD only six kilometres away, other schools to consider are Adelaide High and Botanical High.
More big pluses are the Prospect Medical Centre only two blocks away, and the extensive North Park/Sefton Park shopping precinct within a few minutes' drive.
