About this property
Introduced by a gorgeous garden bursting with colour through every season, with salvia, daisies and soft perennial planting leaning into the picket, this single-level, street-front villa lives like a home all of its own. A sundrenched alfresco area sits out front among the flowers, with room for a long table, and a lazy lunch. It's just like dining in your own private park. Solid and the largest of three brick villas, the interior is fully renovated and you'll love this one storey. Save time and money with it's move-in ready status and no immediate work to consider. Inside, generously proportioned windows, privacy blinds and soft sheer drapes run throughout, drawing light into every room and keeping the ambience calm and tranquil. New remote-controlled exterior shade blinds give you easy control over the sun and privacy at the touch of a button. The living room flows through to the dining room and a crisp-white modern kitchen with new electric oven, dishwasher and glossy subway tiled splashback. Engineered oak timber floorboards extend through the main living areas. Both bedrooms are fitted with robes and share a contemporary bathroom built around an indulgent elliptical bath set against a stylish feature-tiled wall, with a walk-in shower and separate toilet. The full-sized laundry has its own door outside, with the single garage also opening to the rear courtyard. Ducted heating and cooling plus rooftop solar keep the home comfortable year-round and the running costs sensibly in check. Out the back, there's an intimate spot for a morning coffee, an unhurried read with a book or a glass of wine after work, with space for a bistro table and a few pots for a green thumb. There's also scope to add French doors and a deck into the front garden for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow (subject to council approval). The location brings urban convenience and a private garden sanctuary together in one address. Zoned for Fairfield Primary and Thornbury High, the home is within walking distance of Fairfield Village, Northcote Plaza and Fairfield Station, with the Fairfield Boathouse, Northcote Aquatic and Recreation Centre, Darebin International Sports Centre and McDonell Park also close by. Buses and the Eastern Freeway complete the easy connectivity. The result is a polished residence that asks very little of you and gives plenty back, suited to investors, solo buyers, couples, young families, busy professionals, upsizers or downsizers looking for low-maintenance ease without giving up their love of gardening.
