38 Thompson Street

In the McKinnon Secondary College zone, this single-level home makes a compelling case for settling in and not moving again. The proportions are generous, the layout is well planned, and outside, established gardens wrap around a solar-heated pool that will carry you through every summer ahead. The front porch opens to a quiet, inviting living room before unfolding into a dining room and relaxed family and meals area. The kitchen sits to one side, well connected and ready for daily use and entertaining, with a near-new 900mm oven and cooktop, and a double-drawer dishwasher. Sliding doors draw the indoors out to a pergola-covered terrace and a brick-paved alfresco setting with greenery at every edge and the pool just beyond. Mature trees shape the garden, bringing shade and a sense of retreat. The main bedroom is positioned at the front with a walk-in robe and its own ensuite. Three further bedrooms, each with built-in robes, share a modern bathroom with both bath and shower. There's also ducted heating, evaporative cooling, a laundry with a pet door, and a double garage with access to the backyard for a caravan, boat or trailer, and additional storage by the pool. Big windows draw in natural light from multiple angles and the single-level design keeps everything simple. No stairs, no compromises, just a home that works now and continues to work as the household evolves. Walk to North Road shops for your morning coffee and a stop at Sebby's Scrolls, Ormond Station for the city run, bike ride to the beach and buses linking through to Monash. Bentleigh Village, Chadstone and Southland are within easy reach, with EE Gunn Reserve and Princes Park nearby too. Zoned for Ormond Primary with Kilvington Grammar close at hand, it's a home to enjoy immediately in a friendly neighbourhood, with sought-after school zoning secured at one address.
