20 Grove Road, Rosanna VIC 3084

SOLD by Miles Real Estate. A superb family sanctuary set well back for peaceful privacy opposite De Winton Park, this stylishly updated residence with a two-level studio and an expansive rear garden is vast, versatile and every bit inspiring.

Viewbank College and Banyule Primary School zoned on a level and landscaped allotment, families looking for an outstanding foothold in a prime position will love the large layout, appreciate the enhancements and savour the surroundings of a garden wonderland that's an idyllic playground for curious, active children.

Wide frontage with a driveway and additional off-street parking for a boat, trailer or caravan precede a classic clinker brick profile that reveals a perfectly-proportioned, single-level interior defined by polished hardwood floorboards, decorative ceilings and original Art Deco details.

Three well-sized bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and built-in robes, are complemented by a beautiful contemporary family bathroom along with a separate two-room studio with park views that's also possible extra bedroom accommodation or additional living space.

A generous dining room with a gas log fireplace leads into a large modern kitchen that seamlessly integrates high-quality stainless-steel appliances, soft-close cabinetry and a handy servery that offers straight-line views to the garden for keeping a close eye on playing kids.

Further is an expansive family living room where sliding doors connect to a dappled light-drenched deck offering a tranquil alfresco retreat beneath established trees, before a lush expanse of lawn, irrigated vegetable beds, a cubby house, sandpit, brick-paved patio and a secure workshop plus a storage shed.

With ducted heating, split-system air-conditioning and a separate laundry, this exceptional home is a picture of indoor-outdoor family flexibility overlooking the park and just a 5-minute walk to Rosanna Village cafes and shops along with the train station, while only moments to schools, Burgundy Street and the Austin Hospital.
