THERE’S an easy going charm about this Beaconsfield home, which has a hidden surprise up its sleeve…

Set back off the street, this three bedroom one bathroom home has a nice understated facade with a wooden garage door, picket fence and small patch of lawn.

It’s a friendly face that says come on in and meet the family.

The main living area is bright and airy thanks to the light wooden floors and high white ceilings, which offset the cream-coloured walls.

Why on earth the owners have a heavy black leather couch in here is beyond me; it doesn’t go with the light touch everywhere else and is incongruous. The good news – it doesn’t come with the house.

Around the corner is a stylish kitchen with a double sink and a nice tile splashback above the cooker and dark benchtops.

There’s space here for a few stools so it could be used as a small breakfast bar, but the main dining table has plenty of space for friends and family when they come around.

The main and second bedroom have built-in robes and the bathroom is nearby (there’s also a seperate wc).

The house has a big laundry with plenty of storage space and cupboards, with a shopper’s entry to the garage.

Down the back garden you’ll find the surprise – a studio dwelling which could be utilised for a variety of things – home office, artist’s workshop, older child’s accomodation, dad’s man cave. The list is endless and it makes the property very versatile.

The garden itself is cute with a pergola which will look really nice once the creepers take hold.

The home includes two parking spots (single-car garage and an off-street driveway), a gas hot water system, and gas bayonets in the lounge and dining areas.

Situated on York Street in a family-friendly suburb you are close to Christ the King, and Winterfold Primary School is around the corner.

Priced in the $700,000s this is a good chance to get on the property ladder in Beaconsfield, an increasingly popular suburb.
