Thornbury VIC 3071

Thornbury is one of those postcodes that is respected for its vibrant and progressive outlook yet still honors and maintains its links to its migrant and heritage past, when a postwar boom resulted in a proliferation of broad Bungalows, and 60s blonde brick divided into generous allotments all centered around High Streets quirk and color. This resulted in peaceful neighborhoods where life could be enjoyed with swaths of space between neighbors and broad streetscapes trimmed with pristine nature strips and tree canopies. Recent transformations have resulted in modern homes sprouting up from subdivisions of these allotments, resulting in residences that maintain generous accommodation, yet transport their occupants into the present day with modern conveniences.Here is a unique modern home with its established garden and storybook faade, offering a sympathetic design steeped in, and connecting with those time-honored traditions, nestled in a tree-lined streetscape amongst picturesque period homes and a neighborhood of original shops, schools, churches and retro municipal buildings and parklands.Tastefully crafted to inconspicuously blend in amongst this backdrop, yet doffing its hat to the present and the future with its tremendously versatile configuration - offering bathrooms and bedroom accommodation on both levels - this beautifully crafted property incorporates multiple breakout spaces, tasteful, subtle embellishments and a spacious, breezy and light filled layout. Contemporary attributes such as modern wet areas (Luxe kitchen with marble island, quality cabinetry and as new appliances) tremendous amounts of storage, abundant windows, superb natural light/ventilation and a vast living/dining kitchen zone enhance a flexible floorplan, sitting on a 227 sqm allotment approx.A deep north facing rear yard with beautiful landscaping, decking, mature trees and shrubbery, and rustic pergola with inbuilt stone seating, is a hallmark of the home beyond which one can absorb the horizon and vast sky beyond.
