Enjoying a towering position from its elevated vantage point, this traditional brick home on the high side of the street is a custom designed combination of bright open living areas and plenty of natural light. Undoubtedly the high-end home of its time, the home is ready to be lived in now but could lend itself to a modern upgrade or re-development (STCA). Beginning with a magnificent covered front porch/seating area, entry to the home is onto warming wooden floorboards an an open entrance foyer which connects to all parts of a flowing split-level floorplan. West facing lounge/dining room windows take in the afternoon sun and connect to the front outdoor entertaining space, while a bright open kitchen incorporates an integrated electric cook top, wall-mounted oven, breakfast bar and meals area. Bedroom accommodation includes 3 bedrooms all with built-in robes which are central to the main bathroom with separate shower and bath. Step up to a sensational family/rumpus room with feature wood fireplace, split-system air-conditioning, a full built-in bar and convenient powder room. A sliding door off the rumpus links to a paved outdoor entertaining area with built-in gas barbecue, retaining-walled gardens and plenty of grass for the kids and pets to explore. Gas ducted heating, an additional gas space heater and a double carport with gated rear access further contribute to a perfectly placed property of intriguing potential. Situated on a no-through road, next to the Koonung Creek Trail, within walking distance to Donvale Primary School and with easy access to Springvale Road, Doncaster Road, Tunstall Square shops, the Eastern Freeway and Westfield Doncaster Shoppingtown, this is a lifestyle property ready for new owners to make their own.
