Convenient location where everything is within walking distance!

Versatility is built-in to this classic three-bedder, with its large garden studio and duo of private alfresco areas, gifting a choice of spaces for creation, connection and escape. This privately built 1960s home has been lovingly updated, nicely combining the old with the new. The whole home immersed within the natural tranquillity of beautiful plantings and expansive greenery.

Within it is all freshly painted walls in natural white and decorative cornices. New hybrid timber floors stretch underfoot, and all the windows have been replaced with double glazing. There is a spot for hanging winter coats and woollies and the welcome of a vast open plan living and dining, with large windows welcoming sunshine. We love the circular flow that keeps things conversational, the dining space merging to the kitchen combined meals, with glass sliders opening fully to sheltered rear veranda and onto the expansive lawn area.

The kitchen provides ample storage and plenty of bench space, providing the chef of the home with the perfect amount of space to cook up a feast. There is a tiled splashback in companion white, and sweet curved open shelving for curated display. You can stand at the kitchen sink and watch the kids at play in the back yard and there is the convenience of a large adjacent laundry, flowing straight outside.

The welcoming master bedroom offers up a wall of built-in-robes for seamless storage and spills to a private, paved alfresco terrace, you can step directly out communing with the pair of snow fountains, camelias and plum tree. There are two additional peaceful bedrooms and a brand new family bathroom with underfloor heating. Seamless floor to ceiling tiling introduces the textures of raw stone and there is the luxury of frameless glass rain shower and freestanding bathtub.

The studio is a generous space, perfect for guest accommodation, creative workshop, home office, or teen hang. There is some storage and a bathroom tucked away in the rear corner. Doors open onto a private garden enclave, walled by tall hedging and housing a garden shed and dedicated clothesline.

A duo of beautiful ornamental pear trees casts dappled shade across soft lawns, as sweet, scented star jasmine obscures the fence lines. The sheltered deck presiding over the large back garden?the place to be on hotter days, enjoying a cold drink or two, watching the kids play within the cubby house. The home is completely screened by green hedges, sheltered by established trees. There is a private driveway that ushers to a carport fitted with auto roller door, while a side gate opens onto a private garden room, with sweet front porch, twined with flowering jasmine.

Stroll down to the Gang Gang caf? and grab a coffee or a bite to eat. Explore the vibrant Dickson precinct for essential services, shopping and international cuisine. The home is handy to Burn and Tardent Street Playgrounds and it is not far to Downer Micro-Forest. You are also handy to a great choice of schools and transport, including the light rail, whisking you straight to the CBD.
