Located on an 860 m2 ERF on the corner of Achilles Way and Duncan Road in Pinelands, just off of Forest Drive and a stones throw from the Howard Centre, is 3 Achilles Way.
This single-storey, five bedroom, two and a half bathroom family home is surrounded by a big garden. The home was built in the middle of the 20th Century, when Pinelands was famously known as the gentle Garden City, where kids rode their bikes on the quiet winding streets, knowing that they needed to be in their chairs for dinner as the evening light started to fade. New generations of families are still drawn to Pinelands for similar reasons, lovely gardens, friendly neighbours, and access to good schools and shopping.
This house was home to a local doctor and his family, and two of the five bedrooms are still as they were when he practised out of the home.
The home is solid and the rooms generous, albeit it decidely Midcentury Modern, with parquet flooring throughout the home, distinctly 60’s style wood-and-Formica cabinetry in the kitchen, and a shag rug in one bedroom. Even an ardent lover of retro-style will likely want to do upgrades to the home, but it is clean and cared for and move-in ready, although there is quite a bit of cosmetic work to be done.
The garden has been cleared up and the large mature trees have all been attended to by a skilled arborist. It just awaits a happy gardener to create a green haven for the next family.
We have been inundated with enquiries as we have been clearing out and preparing the home for listing. We do not expect it to be on the market very long. We are on show this Sunday, from [hidden] to 5 pm. Please RSVP, or swing by to take a look.
