You know how everything that was once cool becomes cool again? Like the original Datsuns, now looking chic as the Nissan 370, or that miniskirt you knew you couldn't throw away as it would come back into glam again.
This is the house that was once cool and is cool once again. Paying homage to its original retro style, this highset four-bedroom home has been Flash Gordon'd into the 21st Century, with all the modern style and sophistication a discerning buyer might look for.
From the street, this home grabs your attention; beautiful lawns and large mature trees sit on either side, and your eyes will be drawn to that upper-level balcony. Imagine drinking a couple of sundowners as the sky turns pink, and the birds sing their evening song. You also have fantastic side access, so whether boat, trailer or caravan, there's space to house it behind the extra-wide gate.
As you enter the home beside the double garage, you head up the original stairs to the main living area. With gorgeous polished timber floors and raked ceiling, there is a warmth that blends with the style and simplicity of this space. The huge sliding doors lead onto the balcony, creating a beautiful entertaining area.
The dining area flows to the kitchen, where the blend of retro and modern continues. The polished concrete benchtops and black cabinetry provide an edgy look, while the freestanding oven and vintage splashbacks give that nostalgic feel. Yet when they come together as they have here, you're left with a style that screams chic.
The three bedrooms on this level are bathed in natural light, each with built-in wardrobes and the rear two having original casement windows. The family bathroom has been brought up to 2020 standards, you'll find no vintage or retro fittings here. There are a separate shower and bath, and a large vanity with plenty of storage for the whole family.
Downstairs, the whole level is legal height and provides a floorplan that would suit so many options. Currently configured as a master bedroom including a stylish ensuite, as well as an additional living area, it wouldn't take much to set this up for dual living or even a home-based business.
The additional living area has fantastic windows that open out onto the garden. With access straight out into the patio, it's easy to see this room getting plenty of use throughout summer.
Outside, there's a focus on the active lifestyle, with a custom-built basketball and soccer area, as well as plenty of lawn space. The fully fenced garden is perfect for the kids and pets to play safely.
