Bright and spacious home w/ garden and spa bath

Our home has a large living area which gets plenty of light and looks out over our lovely garden. The bedrooms are generous, each with a desk. The master has a private balcony and ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower and spa bath. The third bedroom can be set up with 2 singles or with a King size bed. We are close to trams (15 mins to town), and plenty of shops, restaurants and parks, including famous Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. There is also easy access to nearby cycle paths. The space This is our family home that we rent out when we are away. We love our house and the location and hope that you will too. The large living area at the back of the house gets plenty of light and looks out onto a lovely garden. You can eat out of doors, indoors at the smaller breakfast table or at the larger table in the dining room. There is a nice kitchen with stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher of course) and granite benchtops and splash backs. As well there is a comfortable sitting area in the main living area with large TV (55 inches) and cable TV (Foxtel) is connected including sport. The very large master bedroom upstairs has its own spa ensuite and has a private balcony. It has period features, a comfortable queen size bed and a desk. The gas fireplace works (please tun off the pilot light when you finish using it). And there is air conditioning for hot nights. The second bedroom downstairs also has period features and plenty of character and a queen size bed and desk. The third bedroom, which is upstairs, has 2 single beds which can be put together to be a king size bed. There is also a desk. It has a ceiling fan and an opening skylight. If you would like a second bed arrangement, please submit your request at least 10 days before your check-in date so we can make the necessary arrangements. The family bathroom is downstairs and has a shower over the bath and also houses the washing machine, dryer and laundry sink in a convenient cupboard. There is also a fold down clothesline in a corner in the garden. The bedrooms are all carpeted. The downstairs hall and dining room have Baltic pine floor boards, and the living area and kitchen have lovely Tasmanian myrtle polished floors. We have hydronic central heating throughout most of the house. There is now also an air conditioning unit in the living area for hot days or for extra heating in winter. The air conditioning unit in the master bedroom has also been upgraded for quieter and more efficient cooling or heating. There is also a portable evaporative cooler for the upstairs third bedroom. The house has good insulation. Of course Wi-Fi is available. Guest access You will have full use of the house, and will have keys to the front door and to the back garden. The back garden is shared with the studio apartment upstairs. They enter and exit via the external stairs and the back gate. We store our personal items in the garage and in the Walk-In-Robe off the master bedroom so you will not have access to those areas. There are also a couple of cupboards that we keep locked for use by the cleaners. Other things to note @ The twin single beds can be joined together to make a King Size bed, please let us know the bed configuration you would prefer when booking. We will need plenty of notice to make this change. For last minute bookings we may be unable to change the bed configuration in time. @ There is a studio apartment on the property which is also rented out. There is a locked door between the apartment and the main house, and guests access the apartment through the back gate and the external spiral stairs in the garden. The apartment is above the house's living room, but there is extra insulation in the floor, and the walls between the apartment and the house are brick, so we rarely hear talk or TV from the apartment, although we do sometimes here people walking around. @ The door between the house and the Studio cannot be unlocked. @ We recently upgraded our air conditioning and cetral heating boiler for quieter more efficient heating and cooling. @ The house have parking permit which allows to park in the street without restriction.
