79 Berkeley Avenue, Heidelberg

Captivating & Comfortable In A Prized Schools' Pocket

A highly sought-after Heidelberg pocket zoned to Banyule Primary School and Viewbank College is the established family setting for this architecturally outstanding residence c1968 presented in remarkably-original mint condition.

Meticulously maintained by just the one owner, all of the sensational character and charm of a late-60s classic are showcased throughout the spacious three bedroom, two bathroom interior of this modernist-inspired, single-level sanctuary.

Set behind a mature garden on a sunlit 669m2 allotment (approx), the home's striking flat-roof brick façade, double carport and storeroom entry introduce a wonderfully original interior where timeless comfort and impeccable presentation invite a new generation to enjoy, preserve and love the living, or reimagine when ready with a beautifully integrated renovation.

Exposed beams with concealed back-lighting, timber panelling, original light fittings and extensive built-in cabinetry retain the home's unmistakable period identity enhanced by a highly-functional, north/east-oriented layout opening to a level children-friendly rear garden that's secure, secluded and sunny.

A terracotta entrance platform steps down to a great-sized living room filled with light, before an evocative formal dining room designed for dinner parties with its gas wall heating and servery to the kitchen.

Further is a north-facing lounge room with sliding doors to a garden-set terrace, while the pristine all-electric kitchen with ample bench space and storage includes a cooktop, oven and stainless-steel ASKO dishwasher.

Complemented by a central bathroom (shower plus bathtub), a separate toilet and a full-size laundry, accommodation of superb proportions comprises three bright bedrooms with built-in robes, including the main with its own private ensuite.

Full northern exposure highlights the brilliant greenery of an impressive rear garden featuring an entertainment terrace, rolling lawn, a potting area and a lock-up shed, all in a perfectly-private and sun-drenched setting.

This captivating home of complete family-ready comfort offers incredible potential when the time is right to add style, quality and significant value with a stunning renovation and extension, or a substantial new custom-built residence (STCA).

Desirably situated close to local schools and parkland, the Burgundy Street precinct's cafes, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and train station, along with the Austin & Mercy Hospitals.
