18 Kalmia Street, Frankston, Vic 3199 - More Details
$895,000 - $984,000
Sitting on a generous allotment in a quiet pocket of Frankston, 18 Kalmia Street has been held by the same family since 1973 - 53 years of memories-built room by room, season by season, and now ready for a new family to call home!
Step inside to 70’s character and charm.
Those that appreciate 70’s retro homes will be delighted as soon as they step through the front door!
You’re welcomed to a glass partition wall separates the entrance from the Formal Living room, where rich timber built-in cabinetry helps to create a warm and inviting space to enjoy.
Perfect for entertaining, this area is full of natural light through the large expanse of windows, and when the family and friends leave – find your favourite chair for some quiet time listening to your favourite music or switch the TV on whilst knitting next seasons winter woollies.
The kitchen opens out to the cottage garden, a peaceful space to enjoy time alone whilst hanging out the washing. This is an ideal space to create your own Herb Garden and Vegetable Patch.
A spacious Rumpus Room, also with built in cabinetry, is located off the kitchen area. It opens out to the rear patio, ideal for when entertaining.
Having both a Formal Living, as well as a generous Rumpus Room, gives a growing family room to spread out, whether that's quiet time in one or noisy Lego battles in the other.
Working from home will be easy with the Study which is located at the rear of the home. Ideal for using as a Hobby Room, or when needed, a spare bedroom.
The bedroom wing offers three well-proportioned bedrooms which share a family bathroom, complete with a full-sized bath — the sort where you can imagine years of bedtime stories and Sunday morning soaks.
The Bungalow
In the past the Bungalow (or Flat as the owner calls it) was utilised as a separate self-contained bungalow for extra accommodation when the kids where ready to have their own space. It’s also been used as a studio, Teenagers retreat, as well as accommodation for the extended family.
This space is ready for a re-fit, and we look forward to seeing how the new family will use it!
Outdoor & Grounds
Step outside and the scale of the land really speaks for itself. A wide covered veranda and expansive alfresco area connect the home to the backyards. The garden itself is deliberately minimalist - a well-established canvas, ready for a budding landscaper to add their own touches to the foundations already laid over the years.
The double garage and long driveway offer plenty of room for the family cars, boats, or a very large caravan.
And then there's the allotment itself - 1,106m², a rare find this close to everything Frankston has to offer, and one that opens the door to genuine subdivision or development potential (STCA).
The Local Lifestyle
This is a location young family have long appreciated for its proximity to local schools, with the added convenience of a childcare facility close by for the little ones.
Everyday errands are covered just down the road at the Heatherhill Road shopping strip — pick up your morning bread at The Crusty Loaf, post a parcel at Frankston Heights Post Office, grab a bottle of your favourite beverage for the weekend at Heatherhill Road Cellars, or duck in for a quick lotto ticket and a takeaway dinner without ever needing the car.
For sport and outdoor recreation, Bruce Park is a short trip away and a genuine community hub - home to tennis, cricket, football and soccer club, a multi-use hall, and a well-loved playground with slides, climbing structures and swings for younger children.
For sport of a bigger scale, Jubilee Park's 13-hectare site offers cricket and football ovals, netball courts, a new indoor stadium, and a nature-themed playground complete with a flying fox, in-ground trampolines and a wetland walk where you can feed the ducks - perfect for a Sunday stroll with the family.
