SOLD BY Morrison Kleeman. Sitting pretty behind a picket fence and established hedging, this beautifully renewed family home has it all – space, style, and position.

Wonderfully located in the burgeoning suburb of Watsonia, this home is hidden away between parklands, sporting grounds & schools, and a delightful shopping village & train station – everything is just a gentle walk away, yet quiet and privacy is fiercely maintained.

Behind the gates there’s room for multiple cars – and that’s before you get to the uniquely large and wonderfully versatile garage. More on that later.

The home has undergone a meticulous renovation. Under the careful watch of master craftsmen, the original formal lounge has transformed into a decadent master suite. By retaining the architraves, ceiling rose and original fireplace with gorgeous hearth, there’s a sense of history that is juxtaposed with a truly wonderful, modern private bathroom and dressing room. It’s immediately obvious no expense was spared in creating the ensuite with stunning designer tiles, freestanding bath and built in cabinetry.

The family bedrooms have received similar treatment – dressed in an understated yet luxurious décor, expect ceiling fans, split systems, new carpets, and window furnishings, all serviced by another indulgent bathroom.

Move through to the living space and you’ll be immersed in the northerly sunlight that flows over the enormous outdoor living precinct and into the heart of the home.

Anchored by a fabulously functional kitchen, the large living space is warm and cosy, yet vast and versatile. With split system cooling (in addition to gas ducted heating), it opens up via a pair of French doors out on to the decked area and through to the lush green lawn.

It’s there the garage comes into play. It’s long and has rear access to securely park a trailer – and also boasts some brilliant barn doors that open directly onto the lawn, creating an enviable space ideal for parties. It generates a seamless flow between the house, the deck, the garden and the garage. Or, if parties aren’t your thing, consider a teenage retreat, guest quarters, a man cave – with minimal interventions, it’s a space easily transformed (STCA).

It's hard to find fault here – a home that has been methodically modernised yet crafted in a way that gives a nod to its history. Its location is about as good as it gets, and importantly, it represents incredible value in a market that rarely does.
