House
Most locals love the Mason Street precinct for all it has to offer. When you live in Walker Street, you have all the amenities of Mason, right around the corner. Conveniently close to the Newport Train Station, Newport Bus Hub and Melbourne Road. You might prefer to stay local? It's easy to grab a coffee, a haircut, a library book, or why not pop down to a local game of footy at Bryan Martin oval.
The 6 Walker Street refresh has been a labour of love, achieved through two lockdowns. Actually, that provided the time to think and get things right. Walk through the front door and experience the friendly and welcoming feel of this house, smile at the details and feel relieved. You can stop searching, AND it's all been done.
A single-fronted weatherboard cottage respectfully renovated, maintaining all the things we love about period homes: latticework, high ceilings, fireplaces, floorboards, efficient floorplan, space to be at home. Yet, it is also new, from the ground up: restumped, new floors, new laundry, new bathroom (circa 1990 is gone!), new sliding doors, a thoughtful outdoor awning over the entertaining space.
No real estate advert is complete without discussing the kitchen. So, let's discuss - the refresh has achieved a lovely space with stone benches, subway tiled splashbacks, new freestanding gas stove, double-bowled sink and euro dishwasher. The piece de resistance' is the colour. Is it periwinkle is it dove? You tell me. Whatever the colour, it is a lovely, relaxing space that you'll enjoy spending time in.
This home is about enhancing the lifestyle you love through the low maintenance garden, spacious layout, and convenient locale. It is flexible enough to fulfil what you need, your way.
The builder loves this place, he's grown fond of watering the garden on his way-out and... apparently the view from the top of the garage is fantastic (well that's a bonus for some forward-planning buyer that's for sure - 2nd storey anyone?)
I suppose what I am trying to convey, is this is a little piece of special, that will make the new owner very happy.
The best way to do this is to come and inspect via the Opens or arrange a Private Viewing with Theo. He's like a proud Dad on this one and would be only too happy to walk you through.
