4/14 Stanford Close

Stanford Close is a quiet no-through pocket that rarely gives anything up — and this one has just been put back together from the floor up. New flooring, fresh paint and new blinds throughout mean there is genuinely nothing left to do but move in.

Light is the first thing you notice. The living room runs a generous 5.2m x 4.2m and flows straight through to a kitchen and meals zone of the same width, fitted with stainless steel appliances and a bank of cupboards deep enough to actually use. Sliding doors open to a private, low maintenance courtyard — the kind of outdoor space you use on a Sunday rather than mow on a Saturday.

All three bedrooms carry built in robes, with the main a comfortable 3.6m x 3.8m. The central bathroom keeps a full bathtub with a separate toilet alongside, and the separate laundry is a proper room rather than a cupboard.

Heating and cooling throughout, a single lock up garage measuring 6.0m x 3.0m, plus an additional car space on title — two cars off street, which at this price point in Fawkner is close to unheard of.

Walk to local schools, shops and cafes, step onto the Merri Creek trail and bike paths, and pick up public transport or the freeway within minutes. Low maintenance living in a location that does the work for you.
