61 Percy Street, Mitcham, VIC, 3132

In 1954 when this owner-built red brick charmer was built, Queen Elizabeth II visited Australia. It's a fitting connection given the absolute grace and elegance of this mint condition mid-century wonderland. All the beautiful detail of the era – picture rails, duck egg blue paintwork, hardwood floors and big picture windows – have been enhanced by new wiring, new plumbing, and monochromatic makeovers in the kitchen and bathroom. A gorgeous Palm Springs inspired cactus garden at the front entrance is just the start of the gorgeous 50s style setting that awaits inside. Each of the 3 bedrooms is awash with natural light, especially bright in the two street facing bedrooms which face west for the afternoon sun. A statement new bathroom styled in black and white draws you in with tessellated tiling across the floor, and the luxury of both a spacious shower and egg-shaped soaker bath. The modern kitchen matches that bold mood with an impressive array of custom detail including pull out pantry storage, an appliance cupboard and 90cm cooker. For family sized freedom, there's a living room, dining room and retreat – allowing for seamless flow between at the social heart of the home. An open fireplace with a pressed tin feature, and hobby corner with an inbuilt desk, fully utilize the main living space. Where the home delivers for entertaining is across a spectacular covered deck – party perfect with its own sink, ceiling fans and easy viewing across the garden. With 2 further al fresco areas, citrus and veggie garden, an oversized garage with mezzanine storage, and a 1.5 carport for cars, boats or a trailer – so many lifestyle features are packed into this 676sqms (approx) block. Superbly located in walking distance to the train station, Rangeview Village shops, Rangeview Primary and Simpson Park, with shopping choice at the upgraded Eastland and Westfield Knox, and great city to coast access via Eastlink.
