This unique 5-bed family home, originally built in the 1940s, has been thoughtfully extended and updated, and now offers an amazing opportunity for another family to stamp their mark on it.
The bones of this house are strong and solid, with thick walls and an abundance of original features. The traditional layout has the formal lounge to one side of the front foyer, with working fireplace and an archway to the formal dining room – both spaces feel grand and well-proportioned.
Across the foyer, the enormous master bedroom features a beautiful window seat under the bay window and the colour in the lead light windows either side of the bed provides a peaceful, golden glow to this delightful space. Wall to ceiling BIR extends across one wall and a large WIR, accessed through the en suite, completes the extensive storage options.
Deeper into the foyer, the striking French polished staircase opens upstairs to a bright rumpus room, off which there are 4 bedrooms, as well as a WC and renovated bathroom.
Back downstairs, beyond the attractive powder room, the foyer leads to a huge kitchen/dining/family room, with doors leading out to the back and side gardens.
The kitchen itself is modern and bright, with light-coloured cupboards extending all the way to the ceiling, quality Miele appliances (integrated oven and microwave, stove top, range hood and dishwasher) adding functionality, and a large island bench, perfect for food preparation or for gathering around – this stylish kitchen feels like the heart of the home.
The sheer scale of the family room creates options and flexibility in the use of space, and there’s good vision of the garden and easy access to the outdoors. One set of French doors leads to a large conservatory, in which there’s an inground spa. The access door is laminated (smash-proof) and has a mechanism that ensures it closes after use, meeting pool compliance safety measures.
The house benefits from central heating and there are additional reverse cycle heating and cooling units in the family room, master bedroom and rumpus room.
Situated on a peaceful and pleasant residential street, yet just around the corner from the McKinnon shops, and one street from McKinnon train station, the location is ideal. The proximity to parks and prized schools (less than a kilometer from both Ormond Primary and McKinnon Secondary), ensures its family appeal, whether this be for a family happy to make some cosmetic upgrades, and for whom the zoned living within would enable many years of enjoyment as the kids mature, or for someone searching for an incredible future investment opportunity in a GRZ1 zone.
