Custom built by the current owners, this spectacularly serene sanctuary of just over 3 acres (approx.) is the ultimate tree change while also providing all your growing family requires for a life in perfect balance. Beautiful bushland and a sweeping driveway draw you into this vast property, past the dam and footbridge, and up to an intricately designed brick homestead. Step up to a beautiful wrap around front deck that forms the pre-cursor to an open tiled entrance foyer which connects to all parts of a flowing floorplan. Head left and you're greeted by a magnificent cathedral ceiling which arches over a huge formal lounge and dining area with a feature wood fireplace. The hotel-style master bedroom is housed at this end of the home, providing a place for its occupants to retreat, relax and rejuvenate with its sun-drenched bay window, walk-in robes and en-suite. Additional accommodation is located down the right wing where 3 bedrooms all with robes, 2 sharing a convenient walk-through robe, are central to a bright bathroom with vintage free-standing bath and separate corner shower. Central to this conducive layout is a sensational open plan family, meals and kitchen precinct. Built to bring the family together this area is flooded with natural light, the incredible kitchen incorporating timber themed storage, an Island bench, stainless steel appliances and a large walk-in pantry. Next along is a fantastic laundry, much more sizeable than what you will usually find! An internal staircase takes you down to a brilliant self-contained teenager's retreat, equipped with its own bedroom, lounge room and bathroom with direct outdoor access. With access all throughout the home, the incredible rear yard really puts this property over the top. There's a paved outdoor entertaining area with freshly stained deck and a built-in pizza oven, an abundance of fruit trees, olive trees, ample shedding for the cars, plenty of secured parking for a boat, caravan or trailor and a full irrigation system. As if that wasn't enough, a large separate garage/workshop is fully equipped with a bathroom and kitchenette. Parking? Not a problem! With ample parking throughout the property available as well as the shedding, carport and garage. There's plenty of additions here including hydronic heating, ducted vacuuming, ceiling fans, water tanks, a recycling system and a separate study/home office. Cleverly tucked away yet close to Wandin North Primary School and Yarra Hills Secondary College, with proximity to Wandin, Lilydale and Mt Evelyn townships, plus with great connection to the Warburton Highway, Swansea Road and the Maroondah Highway.
