Like the backbone and dependable family member this home has stood the test of time. It’s solid, functional and rallies to any occasion or configuration. This unpretentious home nestled into the Mornington hill is a fine example of family comfort and living.

Big block, big living areas, big bedrooms and a big backyard, there is not much that won’t bring a smile to the dial. Set over two levels, the residence offers an easiness that translates across each zone and permeates an effective and smart layout. Only 5 minutes from Eastlands and 10 from the city and in a quiet back street, meet your new saviour for investors or family members alike.

Presented well and tidy in appearance, the brick two-storey abode beckons via a long drive that leads to a single lock-up garage and rear access. Enter the main house via stairs that guide to the cosy and light-filled main living precinct.

Here you will delight in the detail. Corner windows to frame the Wellington Ranges over the top of Mornington rooftops, easy transition from living to abundant kitchen with breakfast bar and sliding door access to the laundry and, ample room to dine, lounge or play. Head down the stairs and your living area doubles again with a grand rumpus or entertainment zone. Stonework and timber enliven a cosy carpeted enclave that is big enough to house theatre and kids entertainment along with its own direct street access and storage.

Back upstairs and three bedrooms reside down the hall, two large sized with built-ins and a medium third bedroom for a spare or study. The bathroom is dominated by timber with shower, vanity and separate toilet next door.

Out back is a Peter Cundall wanna-be playground on a decadent 640m2 block. Paved areas complement established and raised garden beds as it stretches back onto retreating native parkland. Nearby access to the Waverley Flora Park and its trails add to the leisurely aspect.

This established and solid community member is waiting for new owners to take pride of place. With multiple bedroom and living areas it is a tempting option to make it a full time family member.
