14 Mernda Street, Sunshine West, Vic 3020

Behind a crisp white picket fence, this 1950 weatherboard has been loved, lifted and readied for its next chapter. It holds onto everything that made the post-war era so endearing, then saves its biggest surprise for last: a backyard so generous it feels like a private park.
Step inside and the character is immediate. Ornate cornices, ceiling roses and freshly repolished floorboards set the tone, while the living room gathers around a striking Art Deco fireplace, light pouring through broad front windows. Beyond, rich timber cabinetry, a gas cooktop and breakfast bar seating create a kitchen made for family life, flowing easily into the dining room and a bright rear room that opens to the deck.
Three generous bedrooms offer plenty of breathing room, one newly fitted with a built-in wardrobe and drawers. The bathroom pairs a bath and separate shower with a new vanity and toilet, while a second toilet in the laundry keeps busy mornings moving. Hydronic heating, ducted heating and ducted air conditioning deliver comfort in every season.
Then the outdoors takes over. A covered decked verandah looks across a brick-paved courtyard with a tiered fountain, double carport and garden shed, before the land opens to a vast lawn framed by palms, mature trees, a timber arbour and a garden swing seat. Kids, dogs, veggie patches, backyard cricket: there is room for all of it.
Concrete stumps, new copper plumbing, fresh paint and new Colorbond fencing mean the hard work is done. Simply move in and start making memories, with Sunshine's shops, schools and transport all close by.
