Give up the hustle and bustle of the city for a fine suburban life in this quiet Altona neighbourhood.
It’s sleek and modern facade with low-maintenance landscaping previews this contemporary house which has multiple family-friendly spaces spread out across a single level.
To the right of entry is the good-sized main bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite both cleverly tucked behind a set of sliding mirrored doors.
The en suite has white ceramic twin basins and a glass-framed corner shower.
There’s a spacious north-facing family room (with plush carpet) which captures midday sunlight and is decorated in a neutral palette of brown and cream.
Opposite this room is an open study, also carpeted, which can be converted into a retreat, second dining room or even a fourth bedroom in future.
Floor tiles start from the entry and flow down the hallway to the kitchen in the heart of this dynamic house.
The kitchen has laminate benchtops with dark timber finish on the cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher, wall oven, gas cooktop and rangehood.
An island bench provides space for the kids to gather around to help with dinner or it serves as a great breakfast bar.
The expansive family-meals area has plenty of room for entertainment or hosting friends for dinner.
This room opens through a large sliding door to a decked pergola which looks out over manicured lawn and landscaped gardens.
To round off this wing, there are two more bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, serviced by the main bathroom which has a frameless glass shower.
Modern conveniences include ducted heating, alarm system and double garage with drive-through access to accommodate a boat or trailer.
The location of this house between Central Square and Comben Reserve, and with easy freeway access, will also enhance its appeal.
