Renovated Postwar on Banks Street Reserve Inspect by Appointment.Situated in a charming pocket of Ashgrove surrounded by other beautifully renovated character homes and green parkland, this beloved 1960s house has been both well-maintained and extensively renovated to offer relaxed living in the most peaceful of surrounds. Perched atop a neat 473 sqm block, the property offers a beautifully landscaped pool, fenced green space for children and pets to play, gardens and a home that has been built-in underneath to create maximum space and livability. Furthermore, it backs onto Banks Street Reserve, creating far-reaching views over verdant bush from both the elevated deck and the backyard which really engenders the feeling of wide-open tranquility but without the maintenance or price tag. Inside, the home opens directly onto the open plan lounge and expansive kitchen area which goes quite some way to setting a wonderfully relaxed, casual vibe. This sense of relaxation then continues as the whole space flows straight out onto private haven of the expansive covered deck with the trees and bush beyond. Renovated initially around 2004 and then again in 2009, the interior is fresh and modern. Having been decorated with a neutral palette it is beautifully complimented by the polished warmth of the original timber floors. In the kitchen beautiful white stone benches atop plentiful cabinetry, stainless steel appliances with some great additional features including a breakfast bar, undermounted sink and induction cooktop. Only a set of french doors separate the kitchen from the adjacent deck, ensuring light-filled living when inside and a great space to entertain when out.

One of the home's three bedrooms enjoys direct access onto this deck, as well as lovely original ceiling detail.

The laundry is also located on the ground level of the home and boasts an abundance of extra storage. Tandem garaging for two cars with off-street parking available for a third is also located adjacent to the laundry area. The ground floor rear terrace provides yet another entertaining zone overlooking the pool.
