49A Nicholson Parade, Sunshine West VIC 3020

Forget what you know about townhouse living. With its own street frontage, a secure gated driveway and not a body corporate fee in sight, this double-storey residence delivers the freedom of a house with the ease of lock-and-leave living - and it backs that promise with genuine, generous proportions throughout. The ground floor opens with a quiet front lounge, perfectly suited as a private retreat or home office, before the main living zone stretches out in impressive style. At its heart, the gleaming kitchen brings real flair: glossy charcoal cabinetry, a shimmering mosaic splashback, stone- look benchtops, breakfast bar seating and built-in wine storage. The adjoining dining area spills straight onto the covered entertaining deck, where festoon lighting and decorative screens set the scene for everything from summer barbecues to long, lazy lunches. Upstairs, two robed bedrooms are served by a bright central bathroom complete with a relaxing bath and separate toilet. The floor is crowned by a spacious main bedroom with a walk-in robe and private ensuite. Downstairs, a third toilet, full laundry and clever under-stair storage round out the practical credentials. A 4.2kW solar system and split system heating and cooling keep every season comfortable and costs in check. A single garage, additional secure parking behind the sliding gate and a handy garden shed complete the picture. Walking distance to The Avenue Shopping Village and its Coles supermarket, with Norm Talintyre Reserve, Glengala Primary School and local bus routes all close at hand. Sunshine Marketplace and Sunshine Station are just a short drive away. Space, style and self-sufficiency in one smart Sunshine West package.
