Templestowe VIC 3106

The property, which is in a wildlife corridor with native flora and fauna, also holds "Land for Wildlife" accreditation, which is quite rare in the city; kangaroos, kookaburras and over 30-species of birdlife are regular visitors.

This private home is generously accommodated, boasting a well considered floorplan that's ideal for comfortable family living. There are dual living-dining areas, each offering their own enticing features. The first is a more formal space, with high, timber-lined cathedral ceilings, and access to an elevated deck that overlooks a pond and the multitude of treetops; these create a stunning backdrop all year round. The other is a more casual space, with a large open fire place that will warm you on the colder days of the year.

This area has direct access to the home's main outdoor zone which has a well maintained floodlit synthetic grass tennis court, and an extensive alfresco dining area with a built in BBQ; part of this is undercover, another section has the protection of a shade sail, and the remainder is open air, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a favourable north facing aspect with family and friends throughout much of the year.

Acting as a conduit between the living-dining areas is a large entertainers kitchen with extensive storage solutions, and quality appliances by both Miele and Bosch. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms complete the accommodation on this level. The master which enjoys sweeping views, has a walk-in robe and an ensuite whilst the remainder of the home is serviced by a central bathroom and powder room.

The lower level of the home adds a further layer of appeal, with a self contained apartment downstairs. It has a separate bedroom, a large living room-kitchenette with an open fireplace, a private bathroom and direct access to the home's lush grassed yard. The range of uses for this is endless, and has the ability to change with your needs across time. It makes the ideal in-law, guest or teenage accommodation, it could be used as a home office, or you could run a home based business from here; there is also the potential to generate a rental income if desired.

There are a long list of extras that further enhance all that's on offer. They include ducted heating, split system heating/air-conditioning, timber floors, decorative cornices, leadlight windows, a sizeable laundry, a solar hot water system, ducted vacuuming, an intercom, a 2 car garage with workshop space and internal access, plus a single carport, a cellar and 2 workshops

The location of the home is the final piece of the equation. You're amongst a range of desirable amenities such as the 905 City bus, the Eastern Freeway, sought after schools, numerous open green spaces including Westerfolds Park, plus a number of local shopping precincts including The Pines, and the vibrant Templestowe Village with its multitude of restaurants and cafes.

The culmination of a fabulous family home, it's breathtaking surrounds, and its highly sought after location makes this an opportunity that simply can't be ignored. Inspect without delay to appreciate all that your life could be.
