19 Papua Street, Watsonia VIC 3087

Beautifully presented over 2 levels this feature laden, 5 bedroom family home offers a relaxed indoor/outdoor lifestyle perfectly suited to day-to-day family life and ideal for entertaining. The open plan living/dining space downstairs immediately creates a welcoming impression which quickly increases as sliding doors open onto elevated decking that overlooks a solar-heated, salt water pool. Stone benches and a contrasting splashback set the tone in the kitchen appointed with a Smeg oven, Asko dishwasher and Westinghouse cooktop. Zoned away from this living area is the robed master bedroom, a second robed bedroom and study (or 5th bedroom if required) which all share a family bathroom with dual basin vanity, dual shower and spa bath. The ground floor also includes a powder room and the laundry. Taking the stairs to the upper level reveals a 2nd family room /rumpus room of very generous proportions with soaring cathedral style ceiling appointed with dual ceiling fans as well as split system air conditioning. Leading off this space are 2 bedrooms, a double and a single, both with walk-in robes and air conditioners, plus a bathroom with bath and shower. Additional features include a fan forced wood fire in the dining area, split system air conditioning in the downstairs bedrooms, security doors, poolside hot & cold shower, pool water features and off street parking for 3 cars including the auto garage.
The bright colours, light and dark greens of the lush, tropical style gardens that surround the house are the perfect complement, as well as being an eye-catching contrast to the paved pathways and alfresco areas beside the pool. What does surprise is that these mature gardens require relatively little maintenance, while the contribution the garden makes to the relaxed feel that extends into every corner of this this delightful home does not surprise at all. There's also a cubby house discreetly tucked away and a garden shed behind the garage.
Furthermore this is not only a fabulous, feature laden home in a delightful garden setting but also a home which is in an ideal location for families of all ages. Situated between local shopping at either Diamond Village or Watsonia Village and with Watsonia Primary School, St Mary's Parish Primary School and Greensborough College all very close, the property is also within walking distance of Watsonia Station and has the 513 bus service just metres from the front gate.
