Home to one family since built over 75 years ago, one step inside is all it takes to understand why this house has remained tightly held for all these years. One step inside is also enough for you to feel right at home. With the character of a bygone era and a location that caters for todays modern lifestyle, its therefore easy to fall instantly in love with the warmth and charm of this wonderful three-bedroom family residence, which has been tastefully updated over the years to deliver modern comforts and a practical approach to everyday living. A sense of timelessness is achieved with the presence of polished timber floorboards underfoot, classically designed cornices and wonderful original high ceilings with ornate roses above, and in the case of the light-filled lounge, it blends the charm of a period-inspired gas log fireplace with a theatre sound system from the modern era! You can never have too many cooks stirring the broth in the kitchen, such is the amount of space on offer. And with a heap of storage, appliance cupboard and ample room for a dinner table, its a setting that organically brings the entire household together. A fabulous collection of generous-sized bedrooms plus two fully-tiled bathrooms (one of which is the Master ensuite) adequately caters for a young, growing household, and such is the flexibility of the third bedroom at the rear of the floorplan that it could easily be converted into a peaceful home office or games retreat for kids. Love to entertain? A gas mains BBQ ensures youre cooking with gas any time you want, and with a thoughtfully designed alfresco that blocks out the sun, protects against the rain and allows hot air to escape, you can also entertain any time you like! Out here, a picturesque fernery delivers instant relaxation, so too does the peaceful outlook of the landscaped (and low maintenance!) rear yard, decorated with dwarf rootstock trees and raised veggie plots. Furthermore, the home also boasts rear-lane access into a double carport, brick garage and shed, split-system heating and cooling, two air conditioning units, gas ducted heating, 4,000-litre electronic programmable water storage system, external electric sunblinds across the front and roller shutters along the side and back of the home. And as for the convenience factor, locations seldom get any better given its excellent access to Regent station, Gilbert Rd trams and cafes, schools, Edwardes Lake and Preston Market. For that creative developer, laneway access allows opportunity to retain the art deco residence and build a unit or extend the rear (STCA)
