122 Blackshaws Road

Auction - Saturday 25th June at 10AM The Australian dream has been quietly shrinking for years. Backyards became courtyards. Courtyards became balconies. Balconies became marketing campaigns. Then every second property started charging body corporate fees for the privilege of owning less land than your average trampoline. Which is exactly why 122 Blackshaws Road feels like such a refreshing anomaly. Occupying a corner allotment of approximately 304m², this solid brick residence offers something increasingly difficult to find in Melbourne's inner west - a genuine home with room to move, room to entertain and room to actually live. Inside, the floorplan is wonderfully uncomplicated. Three generous bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, including a master retreat complete with a walk-in robe. The central bathroom features both a shower and bathtub because some days call for efficiency and others call for bubbles. A separate powder room ensures guests never need to wander through private spaces in search of a toilet. The living and dining zones have been thoughtfully separated, allowing the household to spread out rather than pile on top of one another. Kids can watch television. Adults can entertain. Someone can pretend they're working from home. Everyone wins. At the rear, an undercover deck extends the living space outdoors and creates the perfect backdrop for summer barbecues, birthday celebrations and conversations that were only supposed to last half an hour. The low-maintenance gardens wrap around the home, providing greenery without creating a second full-time job. Practicality hasn't been forgotten either. A secure lock-up garage with internal access, additional off-street parking, a spacious laundry and excellent storage remind you that this home was designed for living, not simply photographing. In an era where buyers are constantly being asked to compromise, this is a property that quietly refuses to apologise for being exactly what it is. Solid brick. Single level. Corner position. Three bedrooms. No body corporate fees. No gimmicks. No nonsense. No monthly invoice reminding you that somebody trimmed a hedge. Just a bloody good home.
