Last Listing description (July 2017)

Situated in a peaceful, leafy street and sheltered by mature trees, this spacious, double brick, three bedroom ensuite home has all the character of the mid-century. The solid structure of the fireplace brickwork is a dominant feature of the fa ade, suggesting an image of cosy blazes providing comfort over many winters past. The white bagged finish adds to the excellent street appeal, while new honeycomb blinds hint at the modern transformation of the interior.
Stepping into the entry, fresh white decor, a stylish cabinet and a sense of space and light create a striking first impression of this comprehensively modernised and stunning home. This opens to a large, light filled open plan living area, comprising dining and family room, which continues into a north facing lounge area and a light and airy study. In the lounge, the fireplace, presently covered, suggests the possibility of restoration for cosy winter ambience. Sunlight pours into the living area over the cooler months, while plentiful LED downlighting adds a sparkle in the evenings. The floating flooring, which extends through all living areas and bedrooms, adds to the style and warmth. Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning maintains comfort throughout, assisted by crisp, energy conserving honeycomb blinds and of course, the double brick construction.
The fabulous new kitchen showcases the highest quality finishes and workmanship, featuring white Caesarstone on the island and other benchtops, as well as splashbacks and an impressive 900 mm Smeg stainless steel induction cooktop, oven and dishwasher. A pantry and large number of cupboards complete this generously proportioned and inviting kitchen. Space and a quality finish continue into the new laundry, which has full height tiling and many cupboards.

The luxuriously proportioned master also faces north and has a scenic outlook to trees and shrubs, made even more private by the roll up function of the honeycomb blinds. A wall of new built-in robes, as well as walk-through shelving provides an enviable amount of storage. The oversized, new ensuite features an extra-large shower with luxury shower head, full height tiling and double vanities. The main bathroom is similarly well finished and has an extra deep bath and oversized shower. All three bedrooms are equipped with new built-in robes and ceiling fans.
Hobbies galore and play room for young people are catered for in the large brick studio, or man cave in the rear garden, as well as a smaller, sunny studio. Alongside this, is a covered entertaining area. This overlooks the centrepiece of the outdoor living area, an attractive in-ground swimming pool. On the opposite side, there is a covered barbeque space and an extensive, paved open entertaining area. Neat paving covers the entire rear outdoor area and securely enclosed side garden, making for low maintenance living. The large double garage has an auto door and access into the rear garden.
The friendly neighbourhood, in a fantastic central location, is just across the road from Dickson District playing fields and the Dickson College and is just a short walk to coffee, restaurants and all the major facilities of the Dickson hub. Rosary Primary and the Australian Catholic University are also close by. Bushwalking on Mt. Majura and Mt. Ainslie is another of the great pleasures of living in the area. It is just steps to the bus stop and there is ready access to major roads.
This north facing, beautifully renovated home presents as new, with all the work done and is ready to enjoy. The spacious dimensions throughout, the exceptionally generous amount of storage and the large amount of space for hobbies, are standout features. The pool and low maintenance paved areas are made for relaxing and entertaining. Updated by the owners to enjoy for years to come and now reluctantly offered for sale due to overseas employment, this inviting home is the lucky buyers' outstanding opportunity!
