13 Desmond Avenue

Picturesque, picket-fenced and positioned in the heart of Highett, this enchanting four bedroom and study, two bathroom home is the ultimate entertainers' oasis! Beautifully crafted inside and out with living-dining flowing northwards to a year-round al fresco area, this timeless beauty promises a lifetime of memories with a lushly lawned landscape for kids to play, a fire-pit area to entertain at the end of a long day, and an al fresco bath to float away. Centred on a skylit family kitchen (with massive heritage-style Smeg Victoria range), this sun-soaked sanctuary has a Minnesota-made high-specification Quadra-Fire woodfire heater supplementing the warmth of new ducted heating...and well-named Big Ass designer ceiling fans to enhance the climate-control of double-glazed, hardwood sash-windows. Offering parental peace and privacy in a sizeable master-suite (with room to retreat and a fully-tiled, granite-finished ensuite), this inviting entertainer stars a stylish main bathroom with full-sized bath...and a full designer fit-out. Styled with newly-polished solid timber floors with a light coastal look, there's bespoke cabinetry including his-and-hers robes for the master, and airy linen-style sheers and block-out blinds for a touch of luxe in most bedrooms. With a quiet study for today's work-from-home life and a creatively-styled studio in the garden's quietest corner for kids and parents to play, this rare retreat even has great storage outdoors with a storeroom under the roofline plus a roller-doored storage-garage beyond parking. A brilliant find at this prized north-side address, this sun-soaked sanctuary is so central to it all between Eddie Reserve and the new Highett Grassy Woodland, a walk to Highett Rd's retail and rail strip and within easy reach of Southland and Sandringham Village.
