6 Barbara Crescent, Avondale Heights, Vic 3034

Perched on a commanding corner overlooking the green expanses of Grimes Flat and the local river trail, this spacious, lovingly maintained home offers endless versatility and potential to renew, built to a standard simply not seen today.

Outstanding to move right into, think up ideas as the years go on, and renovate to craft a modern retreat primed for family life, the abode makes clever use of its elevation, with a basement lounge, bar area, and large garage brilliant complements to main areas above. Four impressive bedrooms are joined by excellent storage, a central bathroom with spa bath and separate WC, and ensuite to a sizeable master, with parkland a sublime view to wake to.

Highlighting the home’s generous proportions, broad living and dining zones flank a kitchen capable of catering for droves, with a gas stove, grill, and oven accompanied by extensive timber cabinetry and granite bench space. A covered alfresco and wrap-around backyard provide abundant room for an afternoon barbecue surrounded by friends and family, while other features include split-system heating and cooling, evaporative cooling, lush gardens at both the front and back, a full-size laundry, scenic front balcony, and driveway parking for three cars comfortably.

With the neighbouring Maribyrnong River Trail superb for a sunrise jog, sunset stroll, or weekend bike ride with the kids, it’s only footsteps to Military Road cafés, eateries, and Coles supermarket, Highpoint-bound buses, and zoned Avondale Primary, while close to city trams, major freeways, Milleara Shopping Centre, elite schools including PEGS, Ave Maria, and St Bernard’s, and the lifestyle attractions of exclusive Essendon.
