49 Irwin Avenue, Altona North, Vic 3025

Accompanied by a free-standing, self-contained studio – in addition to ample parking and a substantial garage, workshop and/or storage shed – this inviting residence and its appealing allotment respond beautifully to so many needs and put a big tick in lots of boxes. Living and dining areas that flow to a covered patio and rear garden’s impressive dimensions are complemented by a kitchen where stainless steel appliances, stone benches and a walk-in pantry match form to user-friendliness. Three bedrooms, each with built-in robes, feature the polished floorboards that are such a signature of the entire home. A central bathroom, the convenience of a separate laundry and the comfort of ducted heating and a split system unit further enhance the proportions and the personality while the separate studio’s modern flooring, contemporary kitchen and designer bathroom are immediately impressive. Perfect for working from home, accommodating a multi-generational family or as a possible source of rental income, the studio shares the low-maintenance backdrop with the lock-up garage/work-shop and established lawns before a leafy rear boundary delivers an ideal conclusion close to Altona Gate, Bond Reserve, Emmanuel College and easy freeway access.
