11 Belgrove Street Preston, VIC 3072

Some homes simply have a way of making you feel at ease the moment you walk through the door. Boasting indoor/outdoor living, full renovated and ready to move into, 11 Belgrove Street, Preston sits within the Preston High School zone, with Preston South Primary School close by and the city a 20-minute train ride from Bell Station. In this home the work has been done, and the layout and location suit a family at any stage.

Inside, you'll find a renovated kitchen with Miele dishwasher and Bosch electric oven and induction cooktop, a renovated bathroom and a second toilet in the laundry, with light blonde floorboards through living areas. Three generous bedrooms feature soft new carpet, while a dedicated study, a large living area and a separate games room or studio give everyone room to work, rest and spread out. Storage is plentiful, with roof space accessed by a pull-down ladder, under-house storage, garden shed and built-in closets.

Outside, this home comes into its own. A new wraparound deck gives you room for outdoor dining on one side, while the extended deck along the front of the house allows for sun lounging and steps down into the secure, pet-friendly garden.

Established hedging brings privacy, and there's room to sit among the passionfruit vines, apricot and feijoa trees and planter boxes, with fruit the kids can pick themselves. A remote controlled garage door provides secure off-street parking.

Comfort is well covered, with gas heating, three split-system units, bedroom fans and a 5kW solar system with 10kWh battery helping keep energy costs low.

The location and lifestyle on offer are just as appealing. Lahinch Park and playground are on the same block, a one-minute walk without crossing a street. The Route 86 tram is a 12-minute walk and Bell Station a five-minute drive. Nearby, enjoy the cafés, bars and restaurants along High Street, stroll or cycle the Darebin Creek Trail and do your shopping at Preston Market or Northland Shopping Centre.

A home with heart, a sought-after school zone and a lifestyle to love, 11 Belgrove is ready for its next chapter. All that's left is to make it yours.
