25 Wattle Avenue

A stunning architectural conversion of what was once an iconic, 1922-constructed church has created this utterly bespoke, 2 bedroom, triple-brick townhouse, where soaring proportions and evocative detail create a home unlike any other. One of just 5 individually curated residences, the home is defined by a rare fusion of heritage, character and contemporary light-filled design, in a sought-after position near parkland, cafes, shops and plenty of city-bound transport options. Beyond a striking, red-bricked façade characterised by the building's original arched windows of leadlight, the home's carefully considered conversion highlights magnificent multi-height ceilings, rich natural light and the ability to flex to modern day living and working requirements, all while reminding you of the building's storied origins. Indeed, an instantly engaging entrance hall sets the tone and can serve equally as a mudroom or one of the home's two potential study areas. Open-plan dining and living are also particularly lofty and anchored by a stone-topped gourmet kitchen, while large steel-framed glass doors introduce streams of sunlight as they extend the space outdoors to a paved and sundrenched courtyard that is rimmed by an established Crepe Myrtle. Whether it be gatherings with family or friends or some quiet reflection, the backyard is a genuine oasis. Upstairs, the bedrooms are appointed with either walk-in or built-in robe storage, sharing convenient access to a skylit bathroom with a shower over the bath to accommodate family living. Also upstairs, an additional living room can readily be utilised as a home office. Safely and securely accessed by video intercom entry, the home offers carport parking right by the front door and also features a family-sized laundry / powder room downstairs to suit entertaining, as well as a rainwater tank with a pump and connection to the wcs and garden irrigation, plus there is split system heating / air conditioning and plenty of storage including under the stairs. This is a dynamic lifestyle location with a terrific family profile, just a few short steps from Glen Huntly Primary School for which it is zoned and with Lord Reserve merely metres away acting as an extension of your backyard. A leisurely walk also from great cafes, multicultural dining, bars and plenty of shopping both on Glen Huntly Road and a bit further on at Koornang Road, the home is also convenient to Carnegie Memorial Swimming Pool, while Glen Huntly Road trams and trains from Glen Huntly Railway Station offer effortless city commuting.
