Description: Gracefully blending timeless Art Deco character with a high-quality modern renovation, this circa-1930s semi-detached residence delivers a superb family lifestyle in a highly sought-after McKinnon Primary and Secondary College zone. Designed with an effortless indoor-outdoor flow, the home combines enduring elegance with a relaxed alfresco lifestyle; it is a home that offers the perfect balance of period charm and practicality. Behind its elegant red brick façade, the home reveals a thoughtfully designed interior featuring three generously sized bedrooms, each fitted with built-in robes, along with a designated study room complete with custom shelving - ideal for working from home, or family study. The original period home transitions seamlessly into the expansive modern living and dining area, where Tasmanian Oak floorboards and ornate high ceilings maintain a cohesive sense of warmth, scale and period character throughout. Double-glazed windows and bi-fold doors enhance comfort, energy efficiency and natural light, while creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The living zone extends effortlessly to a large undercover alfresco deck, providing an inviting setting for year-round entertaining and relaxed family living. At the heart of the home, a spacious, open-plan living and dining zone is anchored by a Caesar stone-finished island custom kitchen, featuring premium European appliances from Miele, SMEG, and AEG, alongside a full-height walk-in pantry. A beautifully appointed central bathroom, fully tiled, includes a stylish oversized rainwater shower and an independent bathtub, while a cleverly concealed laundry provides additional built-in cabinetry, both with Caesar stone-finished vanity tops, continuing the home's consistent focus on quality and durability. Extending from the main living area, a large undercover alfresco deck creates an inviting year-round entertaining space, perfectly suited to family gatherings and relaxed weekends. The back garden is private and established and features a garden shed, and both front and back gardens are low maintenance, featuring mature plantings and a productive selection of fruit trees. Further highlights include ducted heating, refrigerated cooling, ceiling fans, ducted vacuum, a fully wired high-speed network, three app-monitored security cameras allowing the home to be monitored remotely and substantial floored attic storage space with folding stairs - ensuring the home is as functional as it is stylish. Driveway parking for 2 vehicles is another highlight of a well-considered approach to the home's landscaping. Positioned on an approximately 457m² block, and for outstanding lifestyle convenience, the home is within easy walking distance of McKinnon Primary and Secondary College, Ormond Village, and the vibrant North Road café and dining strip. Nearby parklands, including Packer Park and Duncan Mackinnon Reserve, and the close proximity of Carnegie Swimming Pool and GESAC leisure facilities, along with shopping and dining precincts in Centre Road and Koornang Road, further enhance the appeal of this tightly held family location. Walkability to both McKinnon Secondary College and McKinnon Primary School underline the family credentials of this desirable pocket where local parkland, cafes and transport options ensure that this stylish yet unpretentious home is a wonderful haven for families who love to entertain.
