Surrey Hills 1/18 Essex Road

Whether you wish to downsize to a safe and peaceful single-level villa unit on a magnificent tree-lined street, you're a professional couple who wants to be within a stone's throw of the city in one of Melbourne's prized inner-east suburbs, or you're a first home buyer wanting to ensure you're purchasing an investment that grows in the future, this lovely warm, light-filled home has everything you're looking for.

Located in Surrey Hills' prestigious English County Estates, you'll experience wonderful Springs and Autumns watching the leaves emerge and change colour on the large, well-established planting of deciduous trees lining what is regarded as the top street in the suburb. On the edge of Canterbury - one of Melbourne's truly luxury residential areas - this is an opportunity to own a property that will surely retain its value into the future.

With two generous bedrooms and a converted garage that can be used as a home office or guestroom - this quiet room is often regarded as the jewel of the home, as it sits next to a small deck at the rear of the property, with rain heard on its roof as well as the pergola overhead, birds chirping, and views of green trees beyond - light reflects off the warm wooden floors of the rest of your new home. Each room has views of greenery, as the first and foremost of four villas sits in the front position of the strata title with a large front yard really only used by the unit's own occupants as it faces your secure front door.

A fresh kitchen with skylight, Bosch-branded oven, stove, and dishwasher, nice, clean bathroom, new LED lighting throughout, good storage - including a small separate area at the front of the garage, and a light-filled laundry with second security door round out the home. The private rear courtyard is small yet cute, and big enough to share a cuppa in solitude on a quiet weekend morning.

The villa also comes with its own private electric gated driveway, and a second car park, also located behind the lot's main electric gated drive. Children can play safely in the yard, as it's secure from the road behind a lovely walled fence, and there are several parks nearby. Interestingly, the lot contains a tradesperson's toilet in between units 3 and 4, which ensures your home stays safe and clean, and provides a solution in times of need.

Close to all of the best schools in Surrey Hills, Canterbury, and Camberwell, Metro trains are within walking distance at both Chatham and Surrey Hills stations (express trains at the latter), a tram is nearby on Riversdale Road, and there's a bus on Kent Road just around the corner. Even with all this easy access to transport, the property still retains its quiet atmosphere, as it's not too close to Canterbury Road.

Excellent shopping surrounds the home with Surrey Hills shops on Union Road, lovely and historical Mailing Road in Canterbury, and Through Road in Camberwell, as well as major supermarkets on Riversdale Road.
