Last Listing description (November 2022)

SOLD by Jellis Craig. Tucked away behind a high fence and auto gate, which ensures security, peace and privacy, this immaculately maintained and stylishly appointed delivers immediate appeal in a pocket that's an easy stroll to all your lifestyle needs.

Affording elegant low maintenance living in one of Fairfield's most desired settings, it's a short walk from McDonnell Park, the aquatic centre, the bus and to Station Streets eclectic mix of shops, boutiques, cafes, eateries and of course, the station. The inviting environs along the Yarra and the iconic Fairfield Boathouse are not much further!

Entered via a veranda under a traditional bullnose, the single level floor plan unfurls from the front door to a relaxing decked alfresco in an easy-care garden, boarded by established privacy plantings.

Stretching out from a kitchen finished with waterfall stone benchtops, gloss finished cabinetry, quality stainless steel appliances and a plumbed fridge cavity, the family meals makes the seamless extension to the alfresco to create an enviable space for indoor-outdoor enjoyment.

A light and bright lounge adds another dimension to an enticing array of living and entertainment options. The main bedroom introduces walk-through robes leading the way to a light and bright ensuite. It is complemented by two further bedrooms, which share a sparkling family bathroom complete with a spa bath.

Low noise ceiling fans complementing ducted heating, multiple split system units, a single car garage (auto door), extra secure parking, alarm, CCTV and day-night blinds elevate this exceptional opportunity from must-see to must-have!
