Retire to the quiet life

Families wanting a sanctuary in a quiet part of Altona will find plenty to keep them occupied at this property.

Current owners have spent the past few years turning the 589-square-metre block into a house and garden that can be made to suit almost any size family along with their hobbies.

Introduced by a high curved fence for added privacy, landscaped gardens including plant boxes and pebbled and paved paths create a pleasant welcome on arrival.

Inside, the clean lines and subtle colour scheme allow new owners to add their own touch.

The main bedroom has a fitted walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite with shower and mirrored wall-mounted vanity while french doors open to a brick paved sitting area in the front garden.

This nod to an older style features in the lounge room with a brick fireplace. Cosy up on the couch down one end of the long room and use the other for a study nook or a formal dining area. White double doors open out to versatile living areas and bedrooms. A good-sized bedroom has built-in wardrobes while next door there is a bathroom with bath, shower and heat lamp. There is a separate toilet.

At the end of the short hallway is a room that could be used for many things including a study, bedroom or theatre room. As it comes with built-in wardrobes and its own entry via sliding doors, it’s perfect for a teenager or a grandparent.

And it doesn’t stop there with another room suited for a study, studio or smaller bedroom.

The main living hub has a relatively new kitchen with ample bench space and latte-coloured cabinetry. Smeg dishwasher, oven, stove top and Blanco rangehood provide the necessities while a meals area has plenty of room to host large gatherings. Two large sets of built-in cupboards and a laundry round out the interior.

Outside, the owners have thoughtfully left a blank slate for new owners. There is a handy decked area, large expanse of lawn and garden shed. An undercover paved entertainment area is ideal for summer barbecues and is bordered by more plant boxes.

Two cars easily fit under the carport.
