13 Johnson Street, Thomastown.

This well-maintained single-level home sits on approximately 577 square metres in a walkable, family-friendly pocket where schools, transport, parks and shops are all close enough to leave the car at home. The entry opens to a large living room that is temperature controlled by a wall-mounted split-system air conditioner, with a corner window pulling northern light across the beautifully toned floorboards that flow throughout. From here, a doorway connects to the U-shaped kitchen with a stainless-steel stove and black benchtops, beside a dining area that draws the same northerly aspect through a window of its own, a natural spot for weeknight meals and relaxed entertaining. Three bedrooms run along the left of the entry and share a bathroom with a bath, shower and separate toilet. The completely functional bathroom is ready for renovation, giving you an opportunity to add value and bring your own style to the interior. A laundry with outside access leads to the rear garden with space for children, pets, vegetables, future landscaping or simply enjoying the sunshine. The shed makes for a handy workshop or storeroom, with the carport close at hand. For families, it is zoned for Thomastown Primary School and Thomastown Secondary College, both a short stroll from the door. Edgars Creek Trail is moments away for morning runs and weekend rides, while the station, local buses, High Street shopping and restaurants, the Recreation and Aquatic Centre, the library and Main Street Sportsfields are all within reach on foot. When you do need the car, the Metropolitan Ring Road is close by. It's a residence that lends itself to an active household, with plenty of space to settle in and grow into for years to come.
