You would be forgiven for thinking that this kind of family home just doesn't exist ... until you meet the family home that is 12 Francis Avenue!

The essentials are obvious immediately. Your approach to the house is simply gorgeous, with the established, much-loved character homes that characterise this neighbourhood ensuring you live and arrive in fine company. The lovely aspect of this particular home - fully fenced and with room for the kids and dog and all the visitors you'll wish to welcome - with a large entrance foyer to capture the excitement. The large open-plan kitchen/living and all-important indoor-outdoor flow to channel said excitement. The four bedrooms and two bathrooms to provide the restful comfort that all that excitement requires at the end of a well-lived day. Family lounge/dining/kitchen space for every-day interactions plus a formal lounge for the more formal times. Highly sought-after St Albans Primary School zoning.

What needs to be seen and felt is the cozy, European-inspired design elements that have been thoughtfully integrated. This home boasts triple-glazed, uPVC windows that allow for easy adjustment of air-flow direction to control the ventilation desired no matter the weather outside. Excellent storage (and then some!) is apparent throughout, and you'll appreciate the clever location of the well-sized laundry and utility space tucked away in plain sight - let's see if you can find it!

But wait! There's more ... enter: the principal suite. With its own walk-in robe (again with storage!), and an ensuite featuring the kind of bath you can properly soak in, plus its own flow out to the morning deck - perfect for a sneaky coffee with the birds before the rest of the house awakens - you may also be forgiven for thinking you've been treated to a hotel stay, every day!

This home dictates a wonderful, joyful family way of living. Whether you are looking to up-size or down-size, you owe it to yourself to view 12 Francis Avenue to realise such a home DOES exist.

But the biggest tick? The fact that our Owners are highly motivated. They have found themselves committed elsewhere, and this home WILL be sold come Auction Day (if not before). Do not delay - contact me now to arrange a viewing. You'll be glad you did!
