Neatly tucked away at the bottom of a family friendly court, this picturesque and welcoming family focused home manages to combine open living spaces and formal seating areas with modern tones and an abundance of natural light. Swaying palms and landscaped gardens are the perfect pre-cursor to a bright and spacious layout which begins with a large front living/lounge area equipped with floating floorboards, split-system air-conditioning and a Coonara wood fire for comfort. A magnificent parents' retreat at this end of the home comes in the form of a fantastic master bedroom which incorporates a walk-in robe, ceiling fan and the convenience of its own en-suite. The extensive hallway opens out to reveal a spectacular open plan living, dining and kitchen area which provides both a place to entertain and relax with family and friends. Stainless steel appliances include a built-in gas cook top and wall-mounted oven, while a range hood and dishwasher also adorn a bright and airy kitchen which features plenty of storage, a walk-in corner pantry and curved breakfast bar. Peacefully set back off the hallway are 2 additional bedrooms, both with built-in robes and easy access to the central main bathroom which has a separate shower and deep inset bath. The stand-alone laundry is both convenient and functional and provides additional connection to the outdoor precinct, along with sliding doors off the open family area. Built for entertaining, the resort-style backyard has beautiful established gardens, a large paved seating area, a separate grassed area for the kids to play, plus a covered and plumbed outdoor kitchen with barbecue space. Gas ducted heating, ceiling fans, air-conditioning, solar panels, 2 gardens sheds and a double lock up garage with internal and rear roller door access are valued bonuses in a quiet and conducive home in an ideal position. Enjoying no-through road seclusion, yet with great connection to Lilydale Heights and Mt Lilydale Mercy colleges, proximity to Main Street Lilydale shops, cafes, restaurants and train station, plus easy access to the Maroondah Highway, Eastlink and the abundance of wineries associated with the spectacular Yarra Valley, this really is family living at its best.
