Expect the unexpected when you walk into this classic 1970s home. Full of all the features that make these homes easy to live in!
Set on a classic quarter of an acre block (1084m2approx) on the edge of Healesville, views of bushland and fields embrace the serenity, while a walk into town is your exercise done for the day. Excellent commuting options are also on offer, with easy access to both Maroondah Highway and Koo-Wee -Rup Road, as well as a bus stop conveniently located at the end of the street. The homes quiet position on Healesville's Western fringe will reward its owner time and again on return from distant travels no matter they are regular commutes or longer drives home from visiting relatives or day trips to the beach with its head of the queue "welcome home" position.
The large formal lounge dining room is adjacent to the entry. Here, a feature fireplace plays off the sunken lounge, a perfect place to enjoy some quiet time of an evening with a glass of local pleasure. Large picture windows to the north; frame views to the old strawberry farm while the eastern aspect lets in lovely morning light. A relaxing space to enjoy a dinner party, family celebrations or play some Frank or Dean on the Turntable.
Down the hall are the three good sized bedrooms, two with built in robes. All three benefiting from spilt systems and lovely corner window configurations allowing beautiful light into each the rooms. Serving the bedroom wing is the family bathroom, again a nod to times when homes were considered, with a separate shower room, separate toilet and thirdly the family bathroom with vanity and bath. With some thought, this space could be reconfigured to create an ensuite for the main bedroom, and small family bathroom if desired; otherwise, you could fully embrace the design and aesthetic of the period!
The kitchen here is the heart of the home, centrally located to direct the ins and outs of day-to-day life. With a dining nook and breakfast bar, quick meals on the go can be catered for, and while it is dated, like many aspects of this home, it has been built with quality in mind and has been well maintained. The adjacent laundry with external access could be incorporated into the kitchen to provide additional space if desired.
Leading on from the kitchen is the unexpected second living area, a large room perfect as an everyday living space. A sliding door accesses the large undercover back patio, with enough space for a couch, dining table and obligatory BBQ. A large rear garden is extremely private and has plenty of space for kids to run around or to extend the garden more. Access to the garage is easy from here, which is oversized, allowing space for storage and a workshop area.
Overall, this much-loved family home has witnessed many happy years of family life and is now ready to welcome new owners with vision for the future or an appreciation for the retro features it displays so well!
