Set well back from the street amidst native gardens, this north-facing, renovated home has excellent street appeal. Plants lightly screen a sunny, paved sitting area. The original home has been tastefully updated with quality finishes throughout and extended to add self-contained accommodation. This has its own bedroom, bathroom and potential kitchenette, but is well integrated with the formal living area, creating a comfortable four bedroom home.
A new front door opens to reveal beautiful parquet flooring in the entry, which continues into the light-filled, spacious formal lounge and dining room. Full-length windows take in the outlook over gardens to the leafy street and allow sunlight to pour in over the winter months. Ducted gas heating and ducted evaporative cooling, as well as wall and ceiling insulation, ensure year round comfort. The home is decorated in a fresh neutral white. The open plan design and elegant parquetry flows through to a wide, cedar and glass sliding door at the rear of the home, which leads onto an inviting timber entertaining deck. This overlooks the neatly landscaped garden and is surrounded by greenery, the perfect spot for alfresco lunches.
The sleek new kitchen features Caesarstone benchtops, breakfast bar, display cabinets, soft-closing drawers and a pantry, and is equipped with a four burner gas cooktop, Bosch stainless steel oven, range hood and a Bosch stainless steel dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen, coordinating, new built-in cabinetry opens to reveal a sewing desk and shelving, which could also be a computer nook.
The north-facing master bedroom is spacious and has a wall of built-in robes. Sash windows frame a private outlook over the garden. Bedroom two has a built-in robe, and charming sash windows in all three bedrooms are fitted with modern Luxaflex blinds. The updated bathroom has a separate w/c.
The formal living area leads into the well-presented sitting area of the extension, which is currently enjoyed as a family room. This leads to a bedroom with an ensuite and then to a potential kitchenette. This area could provide accommodation for an older family member or young adult and, although the sitting area currently has continuity with other living areas, it could be made separate.
The richly-planted gardens shelter many paved areas around the home, together with shade sails in the rear garden and a pergola and shade cloth at the side of the house. Many varieties of camellia enjoy the sheltered spaces, as well as hydrangeas and roses, while hardy natives screen the front.
A bright two-room studio in the back garden, with its own deck, provides a great man-cave or hobby space. The enclosed carport with auto door has extra length to store a trailer, and lock up storage.
The attractive, tree-lined street is only metres from Downer cafe and oval, and a short walk to the Dickson centre. A single bus trip takes just 15 minutes into the City centre and travel by bike paths takes around the same time. The new light rail route will be easily accessible. A wide choice of well-regarded primary schools, high schools and colleges are nearby. Dickson swimming pool and walking trails on Mt. Ainslie and Mt. Majura are within easy reach.
This beautifully renovated home offers great flexibility for families, in an outstanding location that provides a lifestyle few others can match!
