32 Young St, Burnside
All the hard work has been done to this elegantly remastered Burnside home – all that is needed now are new owners to enjoy its many charms.
And the vendor of the Young Street property, Dr Andrew Tidemann, says a family would provide a perfect fit for the versatile five-bedroom home, with the neighbourhood’s mix of quality schools – Burnside Primary is only a short walk away – and open space among its standout features.
32 Young St, Burnside offers plenty for families looking for space close to quality schools.
“We were certainly attracted by the home’s proximity to good schools,” he says. “The children were able to walk to school, walk to their mates’ places, play all their sport in local parks – it’s great. It’s fantastic being able to see your children fulfilling their potential and not having to travel to do it. Everything is just so close. A really nice lifestyle is pretty much right there on your doorstep. Burnside Village is probably the nearest big shopping hub … and a kindergarten is two blocks away.”
32 Young St, Burnside is a mix of contemporary convenience with character touches
Set on a comfortable 696sqm allotment, the 1948-era home has been owned by “a succession of families”, Dr Tidemann says.
“We moved there 12 years ago. The people we bought it from actually moved across the road, where they still live and they’re still fond of the property. When we got it, it didn’t really have a functional family area and kitchen so we’ve had all of that remodelled and redone – that’s a real feature area now at the back of the home.”
Highlights of the home’s open-plan living zone include louvred glass and window seat picture panes, a feature stone fireplace wall and seamless connectivity to the home’s contemporary kitchen.
The contemporary kitchen is ideal for cooking up a storm.
The home’s impressive wine room
Designed to make entertaining a breeze, the kitchen boasts Australian Oak benchtops, high-end stainless appliances and a walk-in pantry. Another bonus for wine lovers is the adjacent wine room, complete with inbuilt fridges and a 400-bottle capacity.
The living area opens out to deck space, overlooking the home’s mix of private gardens, lawns and stacked stone retaining walls, which makes it a perfect setting for any gathering – with the salt-chlorinated pool sure to be a summer hit. Dr Tidemann says a solar blanket means the pool can generally see plenty of use between October and April, while automatic irrigation helps keep the rear gardens well watered.
Polished timber floors add to the overall appeal
Five bedrooms – plus a versatile study – offer plenty of sleeping space.
Also downstairs is the home’s lounge room – complete with a combustion fire and polished timber floors – and adjoining formal dining room; adding the character charm to its contemporary touches.
There are also two bedrooms on the lower level, serviced by a bathroom, while another downstairs toilet offers extra convenience. Upstairs are a further three bedrooms, while the property’s flexibility for family accommodation is enhanced with a study that could also be utilised as a sixth bedroom if desired.
Four of the bedrooms have built-in robes, while the upstairs master suite has walk-around robes and a balcony perfect for taking in the treetop views. An attic offers plenty of handy space for “storing old suitcases” and so on. There is also ducted reverse cycle airconditioning upstairs to ensure year-round comfort.
Soak up the views from the balcony.
A full-sized tiled family bathroom – finished with matte-black fixtures – services the upper bedrooms.
The property is a little more than 6km from the city, making it an easy commute for work, school, shopping or leisure. Close to foothills walking trails, other nearby attractions include the ever-popular Hazelwood Park Reserve and playground, while the Feathers Hotel is also only a short walk away.
With the house completely done, it is primed for the next occupants simply to shift in and enjoy. And Dr Tidemann – who is downsizing and moving closer to work – says he would be keen to see another family move in to enjoy the same benefits his did and create their own memories.
Entertaining is made easy at 32 Young St, Burnside.
“It wouldn’t really suit anyone apart from a good-sized family or a smaller family with another generation,” he says. “There is certainly scope to have three generations living in the home.
“I am a bit sad to be leaving but time marches on. The kids are at a different phase of their lives now. The house is great for a young family, but we’re not that anymore.”
