51 Oak Avenue, Cheltenham VIC 3192

Built back in the late fifties, this blonde brick beauty has been cherished by the same owner since new - and now, more than sixty years later, an established neighbourhood has grown up around it offering every conceivable amenity for a fulfilled modern lifestyle. Known to locals as the "Golden Triangle", parks & playgrounds, transport & shops are all on hand whilst kindergartens and zoning for both Mentone Girls' & Parkdale Secondary Colleges simply adds to the appeal. Set on a sizeable allotment of 640sqm (approx.) with northerly sunshine playing across its established rear garden, the three bedroom home features the high ceilings of its era, while hidden away there are hardwood floors longing to be polished. Including both formal and casual living and dining areas which flank a centrally positioned kitchen, plus a warm sunroom set to capitalize on that desirable orientation, the floorplan provides generous bedrooms each with robes plus a retro bathroom, separate WC and laundry – two gas heaters, an air-conditioner plus a lock-up garage and considerable parking are all offered. The solid basis on which to build a future, there are the options to extend back, forwards or even up; or instead consider starting again with a contemporary family showpiece or sleek pair of townhouses (STCA).
