3 Bernard Street, Reservoir

Some homes you walk into and know immediately that they've been looked after. This is one of them. Spotlessly maintained over the years, this mid-century single-level home sits on approximately 650 square metres and opens to high ceilings, picture rails, deep timber skirtings and architraves, and polished hardwood floors that carry warmth from the front door through. Leadlight panels in the internal doors add another period touch. A rustic brick fireplace gives the lounge its character, with greenery pressing in at the windows, before it flows into the dining area and a refurbished kitchen with a wall oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher and ample storage, creating a connected living sequence that works as easily for weeknights as it does for a house full of people. At the rear, the rumpus room provides dedicated space for games, movie nights and whatever the weekend brings. A study, two bedrooms including one with built-in robes, a bathroom and a laundry complete the layout. Framed by established planting, a gazebo beneath a translucent roof offers a sheltered outdoor retreat, alongside a covered patio and a generous fully fenced backyard for kids' playtime. With a garage and ducted heating, it's comfortable as it stands, and for those thinking longer term, the block and the bones offer genuine scope to extend or update when the time is right. Located in one of the neighbourhood's most walkable and fast-evolving pockets, it's a short stroll to Reservoir's state-of-the-art skyrail station, a transformation that has reshaped this part of the North. The Broadway strip is footsteps away, with local favourites like Lady Bower and Harvest Blend for your regular coffee fix. Edwardes Lake Park is close enough for lakeside trails, morning jogs, bike rides and picnics by the water. Zoned for Reservoir Primary and Reservoir High, with St Gabriel's Primary nearby, it's a quick drive to Reservoir Village, Preston Market and the Metropolitan Ring Road.
