Tucked behind automatic gates and down a winding driveway, this architecturally designed home on approximately three acres feels like a private escape from the moment you arrive. A bridge crosses a small waterway that flows to Mullum Mullum Creek, setting the tone for a property surrounded by established gardens, treetop views and genuine peace and quiet.
Inside, cathedral ceilings with exposed timber beams and large Cedar windows give the home real character, while the layout has been zoned to suit family life at every stage. A formal lounge and dining room sit beneath soaring ceilings near the entrance, and the heart of the home is the light filled living and dining area, complete with a slow combustion fire, a stone kitchen with a large island bench and a Falcon stainless steel oven. Bi-fold doors open the space right up to the alfresco area, so indoor and outdoor living blend together easily. There's also a separate rumpus with its own fireplace and wet bar, opening onto the deck, perfect for the nights when everyone wants their own space but still feels connected.
Outside is where this property really comes into its own. A solar heated pool and separate spa sit alongside an expansive deck and a mix of open and covered entertaining areas, all wrapped in established trees and gardens. Whether it's a quiet morning coffee or hosting a big family gathering, there's a spot for it.
With five bedrooms, three renovated bathrooms and a study, the home comfortably suits multi-generational living. The children's wing offers a quiet retreat, while a self-contained one-bedroom unit with its own carport, private entry, living area, kitchen and ensuite is ideal for extended family, older kids or a home office setup. The master suite is a genuine retreat too, with a dual vanity ensuite and a freestanding tub set beneath a glass roof with leafy views.
There's also room to move outdoors, with fenced paddocks, a stable and a chook pen for those wanting a bit of a hobby farm lifestyle, plus the potential to subdivide into three one acre lots, subject to council approval.
Practical extras include two-zone hydronic heating, multiple split system air conditioners, ducted vacuum, three-phase power, 36 solar panels, NBN with fibre to the premises, a large mud room, auto double garage plus a separate four-car garage and workshop, and off-street parking for up to eight more vehicles.
Despite the sense of total seclusion, everyday convenience is close at hand. It's an easy walk to Whitefriars College, just moments to Carey Grammar and Donvale Christian College, and close to Tunstall Square, The Pines Shopping Centre, the Eastern Freeway and Eastlink, with the Mornington Peninsula within easy reach too.
This is a home built for families who want space, privacy and the kind of lifestyle that's genuinely hard to find this close to the city.
