Don't miss this opportunity to secure a treasured family home offered to the market for the first time in its 50 year history, nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the increasingly sought-after suburb of Hamlyn Heights. It is ideally suited to a young family looking to be close to schools and shops, with superior access to the Ring Road, while plenty of scope exists to update or extend (STCA). A cosy formal lounge off the entry creates an inviting area to relax and unwind by the gas-log fire on those chilly winter nights. The comfortable open-plan kitchen/dining zone adjoins the step-down living room, which features an impressive skylight, flooding the space with an abundance of natural light. Sliding doors lead outdoors to a paved alfresco area, where you can enjoy the sunshine amongst the well-established gardens that are filled with an array of colourful plants. Close proximity to Haines Reserve, playground and scenic bike tracks is convenient for weekend adventures. A short walk to Vines Road shops for your daily shopping needs or morning coffee. Stroll to Hamlyn Banks Primary School and within walking distance to Western Heights Secondary College (both zoned). Nearby to Kardinia International College.
