Description
72 Allen Park Road is a striking and beautifully presented family home which occupies a magnificent corner position at the junction of Allen Park Road and Merville Avenue. Originally designed as an A-shaped dormer bungalow, the property has been thoughtfully extended and comprehensively modernised in recent years, creating a stylish and exceptionally versatile home which combines wonderful character with contemporary living. Approached via attractive granite steps, the property immediately impresses with its handsome proportions, mature landscaped setting and wonderful sense of privacy.
Internally, the accommodation is generous, beautifully appointed and exceptionally well presented, with an impressive entrance hall leading to well-proportioned reception accommodation and a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family area which forms the real heart of the home. The contemporary kitchen is particularly striking, with marble work surfaces, excellent concealed storage, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar, while the adjoining dining and family areas provide an exceptional space for both everyday family life and entertaining.
