A Campbell home that has undergone a renovation worthy of hit television series The Block will be auctioned next month.

The four-bedroom house might not attract as many viewers come sale day but it has garnered a lot of interest from prospective buyers, with more than 120 groups through in its first fortnight on the market, according to selling agent Rowan Glanville of Peter Blackshaw Real Estate Woden and Weston Creek.

Glanville says the vendors have kept the original facade as part of the renovation – or “a bit of a restoration” – to tie in with the architecture of the surrounding streetscape.

“It’s essentially a 95 per cent brand new home including a new roof, insulation, all new electricals,” he said.

“People like the design and that it’s kept with the feel of home.”

The house is a stone’s throw from the Australian War Memorial, with green space wedged between Creswell Street and Anzac Parade maintaining privacy from the thoroughfare.

A neutral palette with polished blackbutt timber floors and heigh ceilings welcomes visitors inside the house.

The front lounge is light and airy with a fire place and a backdrop of greenery through large windows.

At the heart of the home is a spacious, open-plan kitchen, living and dining area.

The large kitchen is positioned beneath a sky light and features a large island bench and breakfast bar, plenty of storage and custom joinery, with a walk-in butler’s pantry nearby.

The living area seamlessly flows onto the landscaped backyard through bifold glass doors.

The roomy main bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish en suite complete with twin vanity units, a shower and toilet.

Three remaining bedrooms with built-in wardrobes are located off the hall, one with a built-in desk.

They surround the main bathroom complete with a large freestanding bath, a double-sized shower and a sky light.

Even the laundry hasn’t missed out on a good styling, with plenty of storage, a powder room and easy access to the yard.

The property also comes with an oversized, separate double garage with an automatic door, double-glazed windows and ducted heating and cooling.

We love: The mega-renovation has created a stylish, modern house sympathetic to the surrounding area. The central location is drawcard itself.
