231 Russell Street, Dennington, Vic 3280

Set on a fully landscaped 876m2 block in an elevated position close to schools, kinders and parkland, this well-presented character home might be the perfect First Home you've been waiting for! Classic period features like high ceilings, rosettes, polished pine floorboards, together with 3 bedrooms, 2 living areas and an updated kitchen & bathroom, all at an affordable price!

Originally built in the 1950s and more recently aluminium clad for ease of maintenance (no painting required), this property has great street appeal behind the white picket fence! Features include pretty front garden, formal entrance hall, large master and second bedroom with full height BIRs, bedroom 3 (or office/ study), open plan living with modern kitchen/ dining which leads out to a sunny paved courtyard/ barbecue alfresco area. The spacious lounge with gas space heater is a great spot to entertain or relax in and there is a a separate family/ rumpus room which overlooks the back yard. The kitchen & bathroom are neat and have been mostly modernised; there is a laundry and separate toilet at the back of the house. Other recent improvements include new roller blinds, ceiling fans, insulation Batts in the roof and an updated fusebox with safety switches.

A long driveway down the South side of the house leads to a semi-enclosed carport with roller door and workshop, and the lovely, deep backyard is very well laid out with cool cubbyhouse and sandpit, established vegie patch and the Fort Knox of chicken coops... This property presents a wonderfully private, serene environment to bring up the kids with plenty of room for them to run amok and tire themselves out!

This is a very comfortable family home where you can move straight in and enjoy, albeit there is scope to improve and/ or extend and add value if/ when you so desire. On 876m2 you have options to subdivide/ redevelop and create a second lot (STCA), or add a granny flat/ studio/ shed for hobby or home business. A great starter/ second home or a cute downsizer with room to move & plenty of potential - come take a closer look!
