16 Middleton Street

Architectural in style and adaptable by design, this substantial single-level home goes to the next level with versatile possible 4-bedroom plus home office, 2.5-bathroom accommodation designed to suit every age and stage of life ...and oriented to capture north sun on a perfect-sized full block. Stepping out with two free-flowing living areas around central courtyards, this flexible design features a quiet master suite, a dedicated secondary bedroom wing (perfect for kids, grandkids and guests), family living-dining and flexible lounge area to convert as a deck-side fourth bedroom. There's even a nursery-sized study to add to work-life balance. Starring a skylit prestige kitchen (with Bosch appliances including a 6-burner gas-cooktop and brand-new dishwasher plus an integrated microwave), the home is styled to an uncompromising standard with a walk-in pantry, premium stone benchtops, coastal-style oak floors and quality window-furnishings including slimline, holland and vertical blinds. Featuring two fully-tiled, dual-vanity bathrooms (including a rear main with a deep bath and a bonus powder-room), this well-appointed home features multiple skylights, a family laundry opening to a utility area, and frameless mirrored robes plus a master walk-in robe. With ceilings rising to 2.7m, there's designer sconce-lighting to add to the ambience and extensive double-glazing to keep energy costs down. Wrapped by well-established gardens, even the landscaping has something for every age and stage of life with a carefree river-bed landscape out front, a lawned backyard for pets and kids, a sun-filled northerly deck to entertain and a paved terrace for quiet times. With a double garage (with storage cabinets) plus space on a wide exposed-aggregate driveway , there's parking for up to 4 cars. Backing Southern Common Nature Reserve with views to sculptural old ghost gums, this substantial single-level home has a singularly central location too - close to the area's bakers, brewer and gyms, just 500m to the Highett Rd retail, restaurant and rail hub, an easy walk to Southland shopping, and within easy reach of beachside Bayside lifestyle.
