Positioned on a sizeable 726 sqm (approx.) block in a leafy street, 65 Richmond Avenue is a mid-20's 3-bedroom bungalow brimming with the best kind of surprises! Along with a sensitive refurbishment of the original interior to provide contemporary comforts without compromise to yesteryear charm, new spaces have been added that make this a truly family-friendly abode.
Gorgeous solid timber floorboards provide continuity across the front half of the home, where 2 generous bedrooms run off the entry passage, a third located next to a cosy central lounge. The largest bed and the lounge have their original open fireplaces intact, the living area also with AC.
Splash black and white checkerboard tiling spans an updated kitchen, which opens to the lounge with a handy dining bar and has a WIP at one end. The ready for anything benchtops are solid timber, the complementary cabinetry housing stainless mod cons including a dishwasher and gas cooker. The household is well served by 2 refurbished bathrooms, one with a roomy shower, the other a deep tub and adjacent WC, and there's also an open study beside the laundry.
Add-ons include a glass-enclosed paved rear entertaining hub, a massive timber framed space with soaring pitched roof that connects onto a side patio and the lush lawned backyard. There's also a fully-kitted garden studio with lots of windows and a kitchenette that will make a fantastic games room/rumpus/teen retreat - evolving as your family does.
With a long driveway running down the side of the house into a versatile 8m long workshop, there's plenty of space to park cars off-street, and a short drive is all it will take to reach a host of vibrant shopping hubs, zoned schools, and even town.
