There is a reason for Oakland Avenue's prestigious reputation, it simply is a lovely place to live. Quiet and leafy with an old-world charm, this tree-lined street welcomes you home to your haven on the hill.
Tucked away amongst the trees, this 1950's bungalow has been adapted to suit the modern family without compromising on the character of the era. Step in from the wraparound front deck to the open plan kitchen and dining area, with a cheerful sunroom and a formal dining space all centred around the beautifully modernised kitchen. A seven-hob Belling gas stove with four-door oven will cater to the most discerning of chefs, and the light and sunny space is further warmed by a woodfire in the cooler months.
For relaxing or entertaining, step through to the separate lounge, with a heat pump for instant comfort in any season. The central hall leads to the four double bedrooms and a study or possible fifth bedroom. The master bedroom has a full wall of storage, bespoke cabinetry, and a half en suite with toilet and vanity, and there are wardrobes built in to three of the additional bedrooms.
Soak away the cares of the day in the luxurious family bathroom with clawfoot bath and fully tiled step in shower. There is a separate toilet and separate laundry, and the Bosch continual flow water heater and water softener are added bonuses. The hallway boasts ample storage in the form of linen and cleaning cupboards and high stowage cupboards that back onto the wardrobes in the master bedroom.
The landscaped garden has many different zones that the kids will love to explore, and the fully-fenced in-ground pool will delight adults and children alike. There are two separate drive-on entrances from Oakland Avenue, secure garaging for two cars, and several garden sheds for tools and toys.
This lovely home on the hill is the complete package and will be your retreat for years to come. Call Kim or Duncan today to view, or join us for the open homes.
