12 Greta Street, Greensborough VIC 3088

The old-world charm begins with the portico over the front gate and the box hedges beside the path that leads to the leadlight windowed front door. Once inside there is the original fireplace and mantle in the formal sitting room, ceiling roses, air vents, leadlight windows and hallway arch at which point the original Baltic pine flooring gives way to polished hardwood flooring, signalling the renovated and extended section of this delightfully spacious 4 bedroom family home. Besides the sitting room the front section of the house offers 3 robed bedrooms including one with ensuite bathroom while the other 2 bedrooms share a family bathroom with frameless shower, freestanding clawfoot bath and pedestal basin in keeping with the old world feel of this part of the house. At the rear and taking the full width of the house is the open plan kitchen and family living and dining room where bi-fold doors open onto a covered deck which then steps down to the back yard. An oversize Stainless Steel oven is a standout feature in the kitchen which also includes 5 burner cooktop, dishwasher, island bench, loads of storage including step-in pantry and wine rack and a bifold servery window to an alfresco entertaining space with built-in seating. Occupying the entire area above the family room is a huge master bedroom/parents retreat with split system heating/cooling, walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom with frameless rain head shower and deep soak spa bath. Families will be drawn to the separate teenage retreat, games/TV lounge or studio/home office in the back yard complete with another split system and ceiling fan. Adding further appeal is the space under the stairs which has been cleverly converted into a study nook, fully lined and fitted with shelving and a desk with plenty of room left for storage. Other features include ducted heating and evaporative cooling, a garden shed and off-street parking for at least 2 cars.

This home is close to Greensborough Secondary College, Watsonia Primary School, Diamond Village shopping centre and convenient to Greensborough Plaza and Main Street retail precinct, with easy access to Greensborough Road, Greensborough Bypass, the Metropolitan Ring Road and only a short stroll to Watsonia Train station.
