171 Lincoln Road, Croydon

Some homes are renovated. This one has been architecturally reimagined. Set back from the road behind established gardens, the home occupies a picturesque setting, with productive vegetable beds complete with spray and drip irrigation.

Northern light streams into two floorboard-adorned living spaces, canopied by raked ceilings with exposed Oregon rafters and warmed by a Jindara wood heater. All year comfort is assured with a split system in each living room and bedroom. Between them is the home’s showpiece, a chef’s kitchen and dining area. Appointed with premium ASKO and Smeg appliances, clever storage, engineered stone benchtops and repurposed Oregon timber from the original carport, it's a hub family and friends will gravitate towards. From here, fold back the bifold doors with retractable flyscreens for an effortless connection between the indoors, deck and garden. The adjoining single carport, secured by a remote-controlled gate, opens to create a seamless extension of the deck, expanding the space for year-round entertaining.

Accommodation is equally well considered, with three carpeted bedrooms, all featuring built-in wardrobes. The main bedroom boasts a fully tiled ensuite with a twin-head shower with a niche, timber-top vanity and a toilet, while the similarly appointed family bathroom boasts the inclusion of a deep bathtub.

The more time you spend here, the more you'll appreciate the thought that's gone into it. Original bricks have been carefully reused, reclaimed timber carries through the home and inclusions like rear double glazing, dimmable lighting and passive solar design make it comfortable. Complete with a host of great extras, an additional on-title car space and gardens that continue to evolve with the seasons, this home will be a joy to live in.

* The rear home, 171A Lincoln Road, Croydon, is also available, opening the door to a rare dual-property acquisition suited to extended family living.
