Boasting no rear neighbours and a highly walkable location that gets you to the sandy shores of West Beach in about 13 minutes and schools, shops, playgrounds, and ovals in even less time, 20 Poplar Street is a dream find for buyers seeking a cruisy coastal lifestyle in a family-size lowset with plenty of entertaining areas, inside and out. It can be enjoyed just as it is or ignite your imagination and plan a refit that reflects your personality (STCC).
A free-flowing interior floorplan has curved archways, double sliders and bi-folds connecting the multiple carpeted living and meal areas, which comprise a formal lounge at the front, a central dining room, and a family living room with a toe-toasting combustion fireplace to get you through winter. A lovely big set of bay windows in the latter space provide vistas over a crazy-stone paved alfresco patio with an adjoining verandah - the two areas together offering a party-ready 37sqm of fully covered, all-season entertaining space.
Just off the dining room, the kitchen sports an abundance of honey-toned timber cabinetry that ties in nicely with the polished wood floors running from the main entrance into the 3 bedrooms, all with built-in robes, one also fitted with a built-in desk. These rooms share a central main bathroom, with the WC housed on its own next to the laundry, and a second full bathroom located beside a bonus study. There's plenty of original era charm on show here, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms, which you could embrace or update if your aesthetic leans towards a more modern, streamlined look.
What you won't want to change is this cracking location only 9km from the city, backing onto an oval, and where a short walk from your front door through a lush lawned yard dotted with established trees and shrubbery will get you to quality zoned local schools, quick-stop shopping, parks and of course the tranquil waters of West Beach.
