Since 1964, this retro red brick has been a cherished family home at the very heart of family friendly Forest Hill. Set amid gorgeous established gardens, there's a sense of peace both inside and out - with bright living space and bedrooms, a versatile rumpus, and an enclosed BBQ room alongside a paved courtyard. From its high side of the street, the home makes a beautiful first impression with pretty gardens and a sweeping verandah to welcome you home with country style character. Grand mid-century windows filter through plenty of natural light, creating a warm, relaxed mood in the central living room. At the top of the hallway, you'll find a versatile bathroom with a shower, bath and dramatic skylight. The spacious kitchen gives you great cupboard space, a quality Blanco oven and grill and enough room for a breakfast table. Fully featured with ducted heating, evaporative air con, a remote control garage and an elegant brick paved driveway, there's a lot to love at this single owner property. Surrounded by essential services, you can walk to Forest Hill Chase, Aqualink pool, Parkmore Primary, Emmaus College and the bulk-billed medical centre, just a street away from main bus routes on Springvale Rd including the Smart Bus to the airport, and travel connections from the city to the peninsula via Eastern Fwy/Eastlink.
