When choosing a home, a range of factors come into play from location to construction to price. All the boxes are ticked off at the sanctuary of 11 Walpole Avenue. Nestled comfortably on an expansive corner site you will find this two-level solid brick and concrete house and surrounding gardens.
Upstairs, superb modern living is featured throughout, from the four spacious bedrooms to the open-plan lounge/dining leading onto the covered balcony.
Upgraded less than 6 months ago, the new high-end kitchen is a delight with soft-close drawers, spinning island racks in the cupboards and pull-out rubbish bins - as well as the usual fittings of gas hob, oven and dishwasher.
It's just one example of the work that's been done here, with other features ranging from the high-grade carpet to the new iron roof and ceiling insulation (approx. 3 years old).
While the upstairs showcases everything you need for a fully-functional home, it's the downstairs which offers endless possibilities for creative buyers to explore. Only a little imagination would be needed to unlock the potential of the massive rumpus room as a workshop, studio, two extra bedrooms or games room. There is also another bathroom, separate study and internally accessed tandem garage.
Moving up North, the owners say they'll miss the quiet of the area the most; taking their dogs up to the Botanical Gardens or Totara Park, waving to the daily walkers from the sun-soaked balcony or simply just enjoying the peaceful neighbourhood.
