6 Bernard Street, Reservoir VIC 3073

If families belong in the 'burbs, then this updated clinker-brick four-bedroom, two-bathroom home must be the address they have been searching for. And although the home flaunts a style stretching well back into the last century, it's also a home which has been designed so well that it's still in touch with today's family needs.

Even better, it can be your home for today as the family grows, and your superannuation tomorrow given the big 627sqm (approx.) block has development down the track written all over it (STCA).

The extended residence has retained the charm of its clinker brick exterior, but inside the front door is a functional single-level floorplan with large rooms boasting plenty of space and a subtle sense of connection in the heart of the home, from the central updated kitchen to the multiple light-filled living areas.

The generous-sized bedrooms at the front of the home are fitted with built-in robes, while the master enjoys a modern ensuite, large walk-in robe and a thoughtful position at the opposite end of the home for peace, quiet and privacy.

A bright central study caters for the home office worker, while a versatile theatre/living room and kitchen/dining/formal living spaces flow seamlessly through each other without sacrificing their sense of identity.

Out back, the large undercover area is where you can play host to those long overdue gatherings with friends and family, while extensive grounds, gas fireplace, high ceilings, split-system heating/cooling and a substantial two-car garage with loads of storage space adds further appeal.

Out front, in the street, you begin to grasp what a spectacular location this is as well, with the bustling Broadway strip and Reservoir train station footsteps away and excellent schools, Reservoir Leisure Centre and Edwardes Lake Park within very close proximity.
