Exceptional when it comes to family functionality and impressive in both scale and quality, this magnificent 4-bedroom plus study home enjoys a peaceful cul-de-sac position within a highly sought-after family neighbourhood. Meticulously cared for and beautifully presented, it is securely nestled behind auto gates for peace of mind. Upon entry, a grand foyer with sweeping staircase and glossy parquetry floors provide the welcome, from here an elegant lounge and dining room set the scene for formal gatherings with friends. Further on, casual family dinners can be enjoyed in the relaxed meals area before everyone heads to the inviting family room to unwind around the cosy open fireplace. Here, two sets of external doors open to the salt chlorinated pool, spa and alfresco deck - back inside, a gourmet kitchen with pyrolytic oven is certain to please. A downstairs study/home office is an invaluable inclusion and could double as a guest bedroom if desired; whilst upstairs the enviable ensuite master is a parents' dream - a landing retreat and balcony separate this sensational room from the remaining bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. Practicalities include zoned heating/cooling, intercom, alarm, laundry with shower, powder room and auto double garage. Footsteps to beautiful Racecourse Reserve, the home is close to essential amenities, boasts prized Parkdale & Mentone Girls' Secondary zoning and is within easy reach of the suburb's private schools. PLEASE NOTE - Photo ID required as a Condition of Entry
