The collection of living areas that extend onto the expansive sandstone paved outdoor entertaining area is a desirable asset of this charm-filled residence, offering versatility for every occasion. The formal lounge and dining present an ideal space for those special occasions requiring a touch of class, where guests can step out onto the terrace and enjoy a pre-dinner canape whilst marvelling at the sunset and admiring the North-facing rear garden. The vast open-plan living, meanwhile, boasts an alluring open fireplace, providing the perfect ambience for those quiet nights in with a glass of red in hand.
The first-class kitchen features everything from granite benchtops, new Miele appliances (pyrolytic cleaning oven, dishwasher, extractor fan and cooktop) and a walk-in pantry, while size and space also extends to the large laundry, complete with a built-in drying cupboard.
Two separate accommodation wings means there is private sleeping quarters for the kids (three spacious bedrooms - one with an ensuite - and a bright family bathroom with marble-topped timber vanity) and an excellent parent's retreat on the opposite side of the home, featuring a generous Master bedroom with private balcony, ensuite and a versatile home office that could easily function as a nursery should the need arise. Such a number of bedrooms also make extended family living possible.
For the grand entertainer, two undercover entertaining areas allows you to play host to large gatherings any time of year - and with the large poolside Pergola equipped with its own gas mains BBQ, you never have to worry about ducking out to change gas bottles while friends and family are splashing away in the solar-heated and saltwater-chlorinated in-ground swimming pool!
Pristinely presented with recently sanded and polished timber floorboards, a freshly painted interior, internal cedar doors reclaimed from an old Toorak mansion, abundant natural light, new five-star Brivis zoned gas ducted heating, two evaporative cooling units, reverse-cycle split-system heating/refrigerated cooling, ducted vacuum, smart security alarm system. Double-glazed windows to the living room and family room, solar PV electricity panels (3kW on a 60 feed-in tariff), underhouse storage plus attic storage (with built-in drop-down ladder), oversized remote double garage, garden shed, wood shed and sprawling lawns for the kids to explore, simply move in and enjoy.
The convenient access to The Pines Shopping Centre, Whitefriars College, Donvale Christian College, Carey Baptist Grammar, Yarra Valley Grammar, Luther College, Mullum Mullum Creek Trail and bus transport, which is located at the end of the street, adds further appeal.
