Nestled on a spacious 645sqm block with the bonus of rear access via Mulcahy Lane, this character-laden 3 bedroom 2 bathroom circa-1950-built home will pull at your heartstrings with its original features and a practical, yet functional, floorplan.
A lovely wooden entry deck makes an instant first impression and is preceded by a single carport. A feature fireplace with a gas bayonet and stone trim graces the spacious front lounge room, warmly welcoming you inside and, via two separate single doors, opening out to a deck that invites both sitting and quiet contemplation.
Off the lounge, you will find the open-plan kitchen and dining area - home to split-system air-conditioning, a breakfast bar, sleek stone bench tops, mirrored splashbacks and more. You can even see picturesque Lake Monger from the central kitchen of this charming abode, such is its splendid elevation.
All three bedrooms boast built-in wardrobes and vary in their sizes, whilst the main ground-floor bathroom is fully-tiled, impressively-renovated and features a bathtub, a rain showerhead, heat lamps, a toilet and a stylish vanity for good measure.
On the other side of the kitchen, a large casual living area utilises bi-fold doors for a seamless connection with a pitched patio balcony, that encourages tranquil outdoor entertaining with a stunning vista in the distance.
Down in the under-croft, a large family room essentially triples personal living options with its generous space and access into a wet area - comprising of a separate second bathroom (with a shower, vanity and floor-to-ceiling tiling) and an over-sized laundry with a separate second toilet.
Neatly-tended backyard lawns are bordered by manicured gardens, whilst there is gated access from the laneway - where three extra cars can park in security and serenity. External extras include a cubby house for the kids and two garden/storage sheds, for those tools and toys you want out of sight, but not necessarily out of mind.
You will also love the fact that the property falls within the sought-after Wembley Primary School and Bob Hawke College catchment zones. In addition, the local IGA supermarket, bus stops, lush parks and numerous cafes and restaurants are all very close by, with beautiful Herdsman Lake, sporting and medical facilities, the freeway, city, Lake Monger itself, Wembley Golf Course, gorgeous Bold Park, glorious beaches and so much more also within a handy proximity. How good a location is this?!
