25 Norman Road, Croydon VIC 3136

This character weatherboard has been extended and renovated to serve as a grand entertainer facing the mountains. It's the perfect retro modern fusion for families wanting the grand proportions of a 5-bedroom home with magnificent open plan living, as well as the charm of the home's mid-century high corniced ceilings and sash windows.

The thoughtful redesign presents a light-filled north facing open plan living wing - beautifully bright, and offering seamless flow between the kitchen, family room and rumpus which draws through the heart of the floor plan. Statement black European appliances include a 5-star energy rated Smeg dishwasher, Electrolux gas cooktop and oven, as well as Calacatta marble finish benchtops and suspended LED lighting adding to the galley kitchen's dramatic look.

With zoned bedrooms positioned at either end of the hallway, parents are afforded privacy in their own retreat which opens through French doors to the pergola and features a glamorous ensuite with a rainfall shower and twin basin vanity. Polished new bathrooms are styled in on trend Travertine tiles, with contrasting black tapware - 3 bathrooms in total offering freedom for the growing family with a master ensuite, 2nd bathroom to the 4th bedroom and a lavish sized family bathroom.

The fully fenced property offers lovely established gardens with private screening hedges, a front verandah, brick paved courtyard alongside the meals area, and a spectacular pitch-roofed pergola draped in grapevines for European style entertaining. Set on a wide, leafy street close to Silcock Reserve, a short walk to Main St shops, cafes and train station, with a great selection of local schools including prestigious Luther College, Yarra Valley Grammar and Billanook College.
