Belair 45 THORNGATE DRIVE

Arguably Belair's most prestigious avenue, Thorngate Drive boasts an attractive tree-lined street. Many impressive and substantial properties line this street – number 45 is one such property.

The property is ideally located within walking distance to schools and public transport. Situated on the high side of the road, it enjoys impressive views over the surrounding neighbourhood toward Coromandel Valley.

Located on approx 2000 sq m of land, the property comprises a substantial 8 room family home, extensive outdoor entertaining areas, a full size N/S tennis court, a solid brick built workshop, shade house, plus an impressive fruit & vegetable garden. In all, a residence ideal for a growing family with room to move.

The home itself was designed by its current Architect owners in 1969. Contemporary in design, it features solid brick construction, western red cedar window frames, split levels, and thoughtful planning in every conceivable way. The indoor and outdoor entertaining areas are pleasantly integrated to provide enjoyment throughout the 4 seasons of the year. This one owner home has been meticulously maintained to this day and presents itself in exceptional condition.

Entry to the home leads to a spacious formal lounge/dining room which features extensive built-in cupboards that include a book shelf and cocktail cabinet. Oil space heating provides for comfortable winter warmth. The main residence sits a few steps above on the split level. A large casual meals room overlooks the formal living rooms and is located adjacent the upgraded galley style kitchen. To the other side of the meals room is a home office or study. In addition the home offers 3 bedrooms with the main boasting a walk-in-robe and en-suite while bedrooms 2 & 3 feature extensive built-ins. One of the many proud features of the home is the laundry - it's huge, recently upgraded and boasts a host of storage space. More recently added is a very large air conditioned family room which incorporates a billiard room and wet bar. This room enjoys a northerly aspect and opens onto the extensive undercover outdoor entertaining area. Together with the adjacent fernery, a magnificent tranquil setting of greenery presents an ideal setting for those family gatherings around the barbecue.

The outdoors meanders around the property, firstly passing the double carport and the workshop which has been home to the creation of many a craft over the years. On from there a garage size shade house will be perfect for the green thumb. Meandering on toward the rear of the property a garden of fruit tree varieties and vegies soak in the rich fertile soils.

And proudly sitting at the head of this magnificent land holding is a full sized N/S tennis court. It features a loose grit surface and is in generally good condition and would respond easily to some minor refurbishment.

Garaging is by way of a double carport, and there's even room for a caravan on the grounds to the right.
