Over the past two years the owners have poured their time and devotion into the property, adding modern touches and conveniences, but still capitalising on the good bones of the home. They have also renovated the bathrooms, bedrooms and living spaces, giving the new owners many options.

If you have a growing family, need to house elderly parents, or just want some extra income like boarders from the nearby La Trobe University, with five bedrooms the sky is the limit here.

Then again, this is the ultimate location if you have a young family with kids, as they can walk to and from school, either Kennington State School or St Therese's, sports ovals and up to Strath Village, and still be within cooee of home.

There is an office or study, split system and quality carpets in the newer build, while the backyard has maintained its integrity with space for a tippety run cricket match, and a rumble with the pets.
