A smart and stylish entry into Manningham. Make a stylish entrance into one of Melbourne's best-performing markets as an owner-occupier or investor with this fully renovated single-level beauty. Set in the picture-perfect St James Square gated residential complex, you'll appreciate the setting's secure aspect and house-proud presentation. You'll also value the love and care that's gone into modernising the home, inside and out. Warm contemporary floors greet your arrival and flow beneath the striking high ceilings along the entrance hallway before opening onto the radiant open-plan meals/kitchen area; the latter equipped with updated stainless steel appliances and plenty of space for your pots and pans. A charming character and peaceful front garden aspect makes the welcoming L-shaped lounge/dining an excellent space to sit back and watch the world go by, while the tranquillity that embraces the North-facing deck (with electric awnings) tempts you to dine beneath the stars. Two renovated fully-tiled bathrooms (includes Master ensuite) adds a touch of luxury for all members of the household to enjoy, while the generous proportions of the comfortable bedrooms, split-system heating/cooling, ducted heating, tandem remote garage with internal access and an additional car space adds further appeal to this excellent first home, downsizing option or astute investment. Furthermore, a sought-after location accompanies this lock-and-leave gem, with the Eastern Freeway, bus services, local schools, The Pines Shopping Centre, Tunstall Square shops and parks all within quick and easy reach.
