707 Rode Road, Chermside West!
Take a few steps back to a simpler time, the 1970s, when this retro charmer was constructed. A family home ever since, it has known many happy times and now seeks a new owner to love it just as much.
Situated on a generous 632m2 block, this solid brick and tile residence offers plenty of scope for you to add a pool, a shed/workshop or a granny flat, or simply indulge your green thumb and create a more comprehensive garden.
On the upper level are the kitchen, living and dining rooms, three good-sized bedrooms, the bathroom and a handy linen closet.
You'll love the kitchen's yesteryear charm. Perfectly functional, it's ready for its new owner to move right in, stock the pantry and get cooking! It offers loads of storage and bench space, including a breakfast bar where you can serve your guests cocktails while you add the finishing touches to dinner.
Off the dining room is the covered, north-facing rear balcony, a fantastic spot to barbecue or to greet the morning with your first coffee of the day. The air-conditioned living room opens to the covered front balcony which faces south, so you can take your pick where you relax and hang out.
Two of the bedrooms are corner rooms, with natural light flooding in through the two windows. The master bedroom is equipped with a built-in wardrobe while Bedroom 3 is fitted with air-conditioning.
In the bathroom, the cheery yellow colour scheme again harks back to the 70s, and conveniently features a separate shower and bathtub and a vanity with storage. The toilet is separate.
Downstairs offers an extra living and entertaining space. The rumpus room even has its own bar plus a ceiling with exposed beams and a quaint checkerboard floor. You might utilise this area for your home business, as a man cave, media room, teenagers' hangout spot or even set aside a corner for your own private home gym. Or simply put it to great use as 'party central'.
The lower level is also home to a second toilet, the double lockup garage with internal access and the laundry, which leads outside to hang clothes in the sunshine. Set up your outdoor dining setting in the cemented courtyard and have friends around for Christmas. A game of backyard cricket is certainly not out of the question!
An undeniable element of this home's charm is its position. Just 240m away is the popular Rode Plus Centre, featuring a Woolworths, chemist, newsagent, bottle shop, fruit shop, restaurants and the Chermside West icon, Rode Meats. Leave the car at home and walk to your choice of restaurant. If you prefer a more comprehensive shopping experience, then Westfield Chermside is only 2.7km away. Major employers nearby include the Prince Charles and St Vincent's hospitals, Kedron-Wavell Services Club and Bunnings.
Bus stops are a short walk away, as are a childcare centre, the 24/7 Jetts Gym, Raven Street Reserve and the Rode Road dog park. The local catchment schools are Somerset Hills State School and Craigslea State High, with the prestigious Padua, Mt Alvernia and St Anthony's a short drive away at Kedron.
Isn't it refreshing to find a home with such deep character and soul? A home that has warmth and a funky vibe, qualities you can build upon with your furnishings and your own personality. Don't miss your chance to be the next owner. Contact agent Meg Goodall on 0418 757 189 to arrange an inspection without delay.
