Magnificent outdoor entertaining, spacious living areas and a premier central Templestowe Lower location combine in perfect harmony to present a big and spacious family home that ticks all the boxes. Formal and communal living spaces are comfortably accommodated within the light and bright floorplan, illustrating the home's practicality and functionality for everyday living. When it's cold outside, curl up in front of the gas fireplace that delivers abundant warmth throughout the carpeted lounge and dining area, and during warmer periods, head out into the backyard and spend your summer days and nights splashing around in the in-ground swimming pool, which enjoys pride of place in the excellent backyard complete with a paved poolside entertaining area and lawn area for the kids. A central island bench with a gas cooktop and rangehood accentuates the functionality of the cook's kitchen, and when you factor in the presence of a stainless steel oven and loads of storage space for your pots and pans, it's a home cook's dream! The private nature of the downstairs rumpus allows kids to play their games without disturbing other members of the household, while that essence of privacy also extends to the parents' domain, which occupies the entire second floor and features a deluxe master bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite and a separate retreat with stunning district views. Three additional robed bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, while a separate family living area, low-maintenance gardens, stylishly renovated bathroom, air-conditioning, ducted heating and a huge double garage with workshop and storage space add further appeal. Walking distance access to Finns Reserve and the Main Yarra Trail is perfect for morning strolls, picnics with the family or weekend bike rides with the kids, while living within an easy walk of Macedon Square shops, city-bound buses, Templestowe Heights Primary School and Templestowe College and moments from Manningham Medical Centre, the Eastern Freeway and Westfield Shoppingtown makes this location unbeatable for family living.
