1/174 Charman Road Cheltenham, VIC 3192

Set back on a generous 449sqm (approx) corner block, this clinker-brick beauty tells a classic story of an era that will never go out of style. There's been plenty of updates and additions made along the way, but the charming, character-rich foundations still remain in all its glory.

In the heart of Cheltenham, just minutes on foot to the vibrant Charman Road shops/restaurants and new underground station. Westfield Southland, the lush natural beauty and miles-from-anywhere serenity of Cheltenham Reserve just a stone's throw away, and the new metro loop will be linking you to the airport in just 30 minutes!

Comfortable accommodation for families, the once modest home now combines a sumptuous four bedrooms and three bathrooms. All bedrooms but one boasting an ensuite - a versatile configuration perfect for live-in grandparents, teens or adult children still living at home.

Without letting go of its darling heritage, the charms of yesteryear include picture rails, timber-framed sash windows, original polished floorboards, decorative cornices and high ceilings.

Lovely front lounge centring around an ambient gas log fireplace, a separate dining and neat, functional adjoining kitchen, plus a fully enclosed rustic-style sunroom providing an excellent play room or retreat for the youngsters wanting their own escape. A carport, driveway parking, a couple of sheds and a generous front yard conclude the features of this family home.

As if you need any more convincing, but it offers the all-important trifecta in terms of school zoning too, within the prized catchment for Beaumaris, Mentone Girls' and Cheltenham Secondary Colleges.

A lifestyle rich in diversity, culture and opportunity at your fingertips - a perfect home or investment with plenty of scope to further enhance and add genuine value either now or in the future.
