A product of the iconic Merchant Builders, a company that was responsible for a dramatic shift in the style of residential architecture in mid-century Melbourne, this 3 bedroom home, mostly in original condition, exhibits the trademark features of exposed timber beams and ceilings, full length windows and northern orientation of the living areas.
A double carport, now with automatic door, faces the road, providing total privacy for the home behind it. The slate paved entry leads to one of the two large living areas, with heating and cooling and an open fire place. The main bedroom at the front of the home has a sky lit ensuite, BIRs and access to a garden courtyard.
The second even larger living/dining area benefits from a Coonara heater and a handy built in bookcase/storage unit and opens off the modernised kitchen with abundant cupboard space, large pantry and tiled floor. There are two further bedrooms with BIRs, main bathroom, laundry and a delightful, lush, well maintained sunny rear garden, on show from the living rooms, with pergola, garden sheds and two water tanks. This is a home as comfortable today as when it was built, with a distinct design that is compatible with modern housing needs. Close to local shops, schools, tennis club and Mahon Reserve and a short drive to the hub of Ringwood.
