When a prized position combines with a traditional brick family home featuring multiple living areas and a huge parcel of land measuring 1,000sqm (approx.), excitement naturally kicks in. An immaculate north-facing backyard of enormous depth and park-like beauty amplifies this feeling even further, where you may dream about adding on a striking contemporary extension, either now or one day into the future (STCA).
Back to the current day picture, this bright and beautiful single-level residence introduces a welcoming lounge of excellent proportions, offering a quiet space to relax and unwind with a soothing outlook across the private front garden.
Fear not those cold Melbourne nights, with a Coonara heater providing an abundance of warmth throughout the central open-plan living area, while a big and bright kitchen with quality appliances is perfectly scaled and proportioned for a growing family.
If getting fit is one of your goals for 2022, converting the rear studio (with powder room, additional storage cupboards and European laundry) into a home gym will keep you on track. A blossoming backyard with an in-ground trampoline along with a quarter pipe for skateboarding and scooters in the driveway will also inspire you to release your inner child as you try to keep up the kids!
A pristine central bathroom comfortably services three generous-sized bedrooms, while those who are committed to working from home for the long-term will appreciate the presence of a separate home office and studio attached to the rear of the remote double garage (with separate workshop).
Keep an eye on the kids chasing each other around blossoming agapanthus as you cook on the gas mains BBQ in the shaded outdoor entertaining area (shade sail included), and when you're not using the large undercover alfresco for entertaining purposes, the calming view across the picturesque garden offers the perfect backdrop as you dream about the future, which may involve redeveloping this huge block (STCA).
Furthermore, this immaculately maintained home also features a 5kW solar power system, two rainwater tanks (2,000L and 5,000L) with two pumps, ducted gas heating, evaporative cooling, reverse-cycle split-system air-conditioning in the office and garage area, hardwood and bamboo floorboards, double-glazed windows at the front of the house, security system, two sheds, established fruit trees, vegetable garden beds, chicken coop and kids playhouse.
Enhancing the appeal of this first-class find is the premier family-oriented location, which is within 13km (approx.) of Melbourne's CBD yet even closer - within walking distance, in fact - to Edwardes Street shops and cafés, Reservoir train station, bus transport, Reservoir Primary School and Edwardes Lake Park.
