Gracing the top of the hill at the top of a whisper-quiet court with breathtaking views across the treetops stands this peerless family upgrade, which delivers all the space your large family craves on a naturally beautiful acre (approx.) sanctuary. With four spacious bedrooms (master with ensuite), three separate living areas, a deluxe family spa bathroom and a study comfortably accommodated within the main residence and an additional bedroom (with ensuite) and living area with kitchenette housed within the attached yet independent self-contained unit downstairs, this grand home has been intentionally designed to facilitate harmonious multi-generational living. A towering ceiling with highlight windows enhance the aesthetic appeal of the striking sunken formal lounge (with open fireplace) and elevated dining on entry, which already appeals in a visual sense with its soothing outlook across the leafy landscape. Those same views can also be enjoyed as you create a culinary feast in the large deluxe kitchen (with quality stainless steel appliances) or dine in front of the wood heater in the casual meals area, which forms part of the large open-plan living domain in the heart of this impressive home. Enjoy movie nights with the kids in the relaxing rumpus, and entertain in style with an undercover alfresco that connects with the glistening swimming pool nestled in a natural setting. The outstanding privacy and generous proportions of the self-contained unit (with private entry, rear deck, split-system heating/cooling and European laundry) is ideal for the in-laws, older family members or weekend guests, while a vast amount of outdoor space means there’s plenty of nature for the kids to explore. Furthermore, this stately family upgrade also features a triple garage, additional two-car garage ideal for boat/trailer/caravan storage, ducted vacuum, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, CCTV, large laundry, pure wool carpets and abundant storage. A short walk to Research Park, the Maroondah Aqueduct Trail, Research Village shops, Research Primary School and bus services and close to sports grounds, Eltham College, the centres of Eltham and Warrandyte and the wineries of the Yarra Valley, welcome to your forever home.
