Brimming with Charm & Family-Sized Spaces - (off the Service Road) - $640000

Description

Elegant accents of soft muted tones against rich hardwood floors; contemporary embellishments transporting yesterday into today; and a surprise package of additional studio-styled versatility, ALL serve to truly highlight and build on the substance and character of this stately weatherboard home. The style of home you'll find in Balwyn or Balwyn North ... with a much more substantial price-tag! And while this prominent address represents outstanding proximity to Doncaster's world-class amenities and Melbourne's CBD - with park-and-ride AND freeway only 200metres away - you'll find the quiet service-road access is very handy for your family and your guests. Including the double carport, there's private off-street parking for 5-6 vehicles. Originating in the late 1940s, this is now clearly a home with an eye on the future, having been fully renovated and extended. Rising up behind a pretty picket fence and picturesque landscape of standard Iceberg roses, its expansive floorplan is all about "family" and "entertaining" - with "new age" functionality afforded by a stunning self-contained studio under roofline with independent access from the street. Absolutely ideal as a private work-from-home environment; independence for teens, grandparents and house guests; OR a luxurious games-room configuration with kitchenette, state-of-the-art bathroom and adjoining bedroom. Complementing its traditional leadlight features, French doors, open fireplace and timber floors, the home is generously appointed with sizable formal AND casual living zones that both spill into a semi-enclosed indoor-outdoor living room complete with trendy transparent bistro-blinds and genuine polished timber floors. Also boasts substantial renovated kitchen with European appliances, 3 modern bathrooms, 4 bedrooms and study (or 5 bedrooms), private newly landscaped backyard. Mod cons include video intercom, ducted heating and evaporative cooling, 5000 litre rainwater tank, double carport.
