6 Fakenham Rd, Ashburton VIC 3147

Here lies a 686m² slice of prime real estate presented as a respectfully updated Californian bungalow circa 1926. Displaying yesteryear quality, this solid brick residence stands proud with terracotta tiled roofing, timber framed sash windows, a double sized timber front door with steel grille and a classic front verandah. Characterised by a period interior of polished floorboards, decorative ceilings and ornate fireplaces and positioned in a prized locale, set behind established gardens and enjoying a wide 16m street frontage, this is a place to call home for many years to come.

An elegant foyer paves the way into a formal sitting room, featuring a bay window and a slow combustion heater. The sense of sophistication and old-world charm continues into the 4 bedrooms, each beautifully appointed with built-in robes and serviced by a delightful bathroom. Central to the home is a spacious kitchen, brightened by a skylight and boasting an upright gas stove, stainless steel dishwasher, a walk-in pantry and a connecting sunroom with access to a separate water closet and a well-equipped laundry.

A rear extension featuring French doors leading to the garden, offers an optional fourth bedroom, dining room or study. The home has been restumped, rewired and replumbed and enjoys ducted heating, an alarm system and new gas lines, hot water system, copper plumbing and insulated ducts. Outside is a cute cubby house, a vine draped carport which also serves as outdoor entertaining, and a separate single car garage.
