Inner beauty shines out

Aneat,

relatively mild- mannered appearance from the street should not deter buyers from investigating this beautifully renovated three bedroom, inner Drouin home.

An outstanding location, within walking distance of the town centre, the station and extensive parks and the Two Towns Walking Trail add further to the appeal of this large 864m2 property.

And there’s so much to like here. You will feel immediately at home when you walk into this stylishly completed and totally refurbished home with its relaxed vibe and individual charm. Original timber flooring, high ceilings, ornate cornice and the original cast iron bath have all been retained as features and sit comfortably beside the many modern inclusions and comforts. Immaculate garden and mature trees behind the front fence create privacy from the street and double gates provide access to the yard, to extra parking and to a 9m x 6m Colorbond garage.

All three bedrooms are positioned toward the front of the home, two open from a short hall where they share the main bathroom- including the original claw foot bath - installed in a modern and stylish setting.

The main bedroom enjoys a private walk in robe and delightful ensuite. Loosely open plan, all the living areas are linked, with the contemporary kitchen as the central hub between the original part of the home and the new extension.

White shaker style cabinets, stunning solid timber bench tops and a range of upto- date stainless appliance highlight the kitchen, all underpinned by the polished timber floors which extend into the front living area. Adjoining the kitchen is a terracotta tile meals area with glass patio doors to an extensive covered alfresco and verandah which are north facing and enable relaxed outdoor living. Renovation of the home included the addition of a large, carpeted family room, warmed by a solid fuel heater and with multiple north facing windows which allow natural light to fill the delightfully presented interior. Beyond the alfresco is a well established garden with mature trees, hedging and lawn areas providing a secure and attractive space for entertaining, for kids at play or for the family dog to romp.

On the market for $ 549,000, the property at 26 Hopetoun Road in Drouin is, in terms of local real estate, a wellpriced hidden gem - just waiting to be discovered!

All this - located approximately 300 metres from the town centre – is a unique opportunity which will not last long.
