53 Romoly Drive, Forest Hill VIC 3131

In 1960 this classic 'Warwick' brick veneer home joined the ranks of new homes on Romoly Drive, which was named after the Rome Olympics. A generation later, the historic street is reshaping with grand new builds, giving families a foundation in this well-serviced pocket close to Mahoneys Reserve, Burwood Heights Primary, Emmaus College, and Forest Hill Chase Shopping Centre.

As one of the suburb's stalwarts, this charmer retains a lucky horseshoe at the front door, a grand window over the patio and frosted glass doors. Some simple modern updates in the bathroom and kitchen add some contemporary shine.

The cosy setting presents a sunny front lounge with a gas log fireplace and split system air con, the 3 bedrooms framing the hallway.

A big back kitchen gives you enough room to fit a breakfast table and features a versatile upright cooker and subway tiled splash back.

Among the other highlights are a frameless shower, 2nd toilet close to the rear laundry and a flat back lawn for outdoor play.

It's the perfect start for families in walking distance to schools, shops and parks, with the flat rectangular 592sqm (approx.) block also offering scope for a new build (STCA) in this walker's paradise, with more shopping further afield at Burwood One, The Glen and Westfield Knox, and superb travel connections by bus, train, tram and Eastlink.
