4 View Street, Alphington VIC 3078

It’s a special and unique home that’s been in the one family for forty years and you can see why.

Morning jogs along the beautiful Yarra river and nature rambles with the kids in the native wetlands. Collecting pinecones for a winter’s fire and sitting on the sunny front balcony in the late afternoon looking over the park. The peacefulness of the quiet street and the expanse of space makes kicking a ball around or walking the dogs part of everyday life.

The house itself has charming original features like the ceiling and light switches in the main room. This melds with the big open room where the family comes together to cook, chat and relax. It’s a cosy space but its soaring cathedral ceilings and an abundance of light also make it ideal for entertaining. Many a big Christmas or birthday have been enjoyed here. There’s plenty of room to get away from it too. The private TV area means that the TV doesn’t dominate family life and a movie can be enjoyed in peace.

The backyard is always sunny and privately hedged with Japanese maples so the spa is in use all year round. The bluestone wall was built by the family in the 70s.

The upstairs/downstairs bedrooms were perfect for young siblings who wanted to be close but have their own space.  Later they were ideal for student life, where one could be used as a study and the balcony and independent entry also made it a private area to enjoy.

It will be a wrench to leave 4 View Street, but we are confident that the next owners will enjoy the home and the community as much as we have.

Good luck and enjoy!
