10 Wirrana Street

Quarry Hill VIC 3550

On the ground floor is a double garage, two bedrooms, a family bathroom, laundry, plus a study.

Head down the timber staircase to find a quiet, private open-plan living and kitchen area. The chic Laminex kitchen has a stainless steel under-bench oven, induction cooktop, rangehood and dishwasher, plus a pantry and breakfast bar.

The dining and lounge areas are defined by pale polished timber floorboards, set square cornice, downlights and black feature ceiling fans. A contemporary wood heater will set the scene in the cooler months, while a split system equals easy heating and cooling.

A sliding glass door opens to an elevated timber deck with a remote-controlled awning, overlooking a bird and foliage-filled backyard.

The top floor features the main bedroom, with split system, large walk-in robe and an ensuite with a wide shower and separate toilet. The second open-plan living area takes out the rest of the space, with yet more beautiful views from extensive glazing on either side. Double glass doors open to a front balcony with amazing views to the One Tree Hill and Mount Alexander.

The deep block reveals more surprises as you step down a terraced garden with timber retaining walls, raised vegetable beds, and established trees. A garden shed down the back is a handy addition, as is the big water tank.

Other green credentials include a solar system and heat pump hot water system to keep those power costs down, and extensive north-facing rooms/windows for optimal passive warmth.

Wirrana Street is perhaps Quarry Hill's best kept secret. It's an easy walk to the neighbourhood primary school, the golf course and the local caf. Make number ten your best move yet.
