Why bother with a home that fills your weekends with an endless list of DIY jobs when you can turn the key to this timeless family classic and step into a world of carefree living.

Enjoying swift access to excellent local schools and La Trobe University, the location is perfect for the family valuing a quality education for their children. And with Reservoir Village shops and cafes, Reservoir Leisure Centre, bus services and Reservoir train station all an easy walk away and Edwardes Lake, Plenty Road trams, Northland Shopping Centre and Preston Market within very close proximity, it's clear that living here will enrich your family's lifestyle in more ways than one.

Polished timber floorboards, classically designed high ceilings, wall picture rails and double-hung windows are gifts from the home's period past, while a deluxe kitchen with granite benchtops and stainless steel appliances, two renovated bathrooms and a stunning entertainer's deck (with built-in BBQ) that looks across the grassed backyard injects the home with a contemporary character.

Period charm and grace radiates throughout the welcoming formal lounge and dining rooms on entry, while the seamless indoor-outdoor design of the sizeable open-plan living area instantly appeals.

All three bedrooms are of generous proportions, while the one-time garage has been converted into a versatile retreat (with third bathroom) that can function as a practical fourth bedroom, third living area or creative workspace for the home office worker so many options!

A peaceful paved area set beneath a leafy magnolia presents a relaxing space to escape the daily grind, while a study nook, security alarm, ducted heating/cooling, attic storage with flooring and drop-down ladder, 1500 litre water tank hidden under the deck and generous off-street parking adds further appeal to this clinker brick beauty with the lucky no.8!
