39 Mackie Road

Mulgrave VIC 3170

Held in original condition and beautifully maintained, this single-level brick residence carries the warmth and generous proportions of its era across a substantial parcel of 688sqm. It sits in a settled pocket of Mulgrave where reserves, schools and everyday conveniences are all close at hand. A wide entry hall finished with polished timber floorboards and timber-louvred storage cabinets set the tone, opening to a formal living room and adjoining dining room connected through a sliding door and softened by full-height sheer curtains. The timber kitchen anchors the informal wing, appointed with a gas cooktop, built-in wall oven, slimline rangehood, tiled splashback, twin pantries and a double-sink beneath the window, its peninsula breakfast bar in between a tiled sitting and meals area where a sliding door opens outdoors. Four bedrooms are grouped together, three of them opening directly outside through sliding doors. The main bedroom takes the quiet end with a walk-in robe, built-in robes and a private ensuite, while built-in robes serve two of the remaining rooms. A tiled family bathroom with separate bath and shower, a separate WC and a well-sized laundry with external access complete the practical inner workings, with a split system to the living room, a further wall-mounted unit serving the kitchen and ducted heating throughout. Outside, a long covered verandah runs the length of one side, tiled underfoot and framed by a decorative balustrade, sheltered in part by the main roofline and in part by a timber pergola. The rear garden is level lawn edged with flowering greenery and enclosed by timber paling fences, while a long driveway runs past a covered carport to a double garage, leaving room for several vehicles in the long driveway. The setting is quietly practical. A reserve with playground, community centre and the local library sit within a short stroll on Mackie Road itself, with more open space at Freeway Reserve and Waverley Park. Everyday shopping is covered by the Waverley Gardens and M-City centres, while cafs and local shops gather along the surrounding main roads. Springvale Station is the closest rail link for the city commute, buses run close by, and the Monash Freeway, Springvale Road, Police Road and Wellington Road all feed easily into the wider network. Families are zoned to Albany Rise Primary School and Wellington Secondary College, with Mazenod College, Nazareth College and Monash University's Clayton campus also in the area.
