35 Locher Avenue, Reservoir VIC 3073

If you're driven to provide your children with the best childhood possible, it's hard to ignore the lure of this sensational four-bedroom family residence in peaceful and private neighbourhood that attracts minimal traffic flow.

One of the benefits of living within short walking distance of numerous parks and sporting reserves is that your kids have loads of green space to explore, so you don't have to worry about finding a home with a huge backyard that's high in maintenance. Instead, the private backyard of this impressive residence is home to an inviting swimming pool, fenced off for safety and linking with a huge alfresco deck to create an entertainer's dream. Sheltered from above and seamlessly integrating with the home's interior, it's an outdoor centrepiece of lavish proportions that can comfortably play host to large gatherings any time of year.

Inside, the oohs' and aahs' continue courtesy of the home's pristine presentation, enhanced with polished timber floorboards underfoot and large Colonial-style windows that filter plenty of sunshine into the home.

The light and bright appearance of the welcoming living area on entry instantly appeals, as does the excellent quality of the central cook's kitchen (with stainless steel appliances and loads of storage space), which enjoys pride of place in the heart of the home and looks across the relaxed family living dressed with timber walls and parquetry floors.

A deluxe family bathroom exudes contemporary style, while gas heating, air conditioning, beautiful high ceilings and plenty of off-street parking are additional highlights.

Adding further appeal, your growing family will enjoy convenient access to schools, Ruthven train station, the Metropolitan Ring Road and Broadway and Edwardes Street shops and cafes.
