157 Blackburn Road, Blackburn South

Elevated and proud behind a tall fence, this period weatherboard home is pretty as a picture. Meticulously renovated from front to back with families and guests in mind, this dual living residence with a pool is an entertainer’s dream.

Respectfully retaining period features such as picture rails and decorative plaster ceilings, along with beautiful hardwood floors that have been rejuvenated with a striking dark finish, the home has been thoughtfully designed for the ease and flow of today’s busy family. This impressive residence comprises a formal lounge adjoining an expansive living zone that’s anchored by a gas fireplace to warm yourself around on cold nights. Corner to corner bifold doors open to a vast undercover entertaining area, providing seamless living inside and out while overlooking the fenced saltwater pool and spa. Served by a generous, quality kitchen with a full suite of Smeg appliances (900mm gas cooker and dishwasher) that’s complimented with terrific drawer storage and a huge granite island bench fit to spread a feast out onto.

A well separated master suite features an oversized walk-in robe and large ensuite with a freestanding tub while two further bedrooms are served by a matching central bathroom. Other notable features include a family sized fitted laundry with yard access, plantation shutters, ducted heating, RC/AC, salt water solar-heated pool and gas-heated spa, attic storage and shed storage.
