Sale By Set Date Tuesday 13 November at 5.00pm Nestled on a flat 2.4-acre (approx.) allotment with sprawling lawns and loads of space for the kids to explore, treat your family to the ultimate escape with this picture-perfect family home. Infusing the charm of its country surrounds with luxurious modern living, this contemporary weatherboard classic puts a desirable buffer between you and the hustle and bustle of city life whilst still being close enough to inner-city lifestyle attractions and plenty of entertainment options. Set behind automatic front gates, this bright and beautiful single-level residence introduces a charming front verandah before opening onto a spectacular open-plan living area, where its vibrant appearance, chic décor, warm timber floors, visual flow and enormous proportions generate instant appeal. A soaring pitched ceiling accentuates the height and space of this fashionable hub, while glass doors marry the stylish interior with the undercover deck and lower-level BBQ lounge area (with built-in BBQ, range hood, concrete benchtops and bar fridge) to create a first-class indoor-outdoor entertaining centrepiece. Back inside, a deluxe kitchen frames a glorious outlook across the green backyard so you can keep an eye on the kids playing in the cubby house whilst preparing dinner, and at day's end, nothing beats gathering around the wood-fired heater and unwinding in the sizeable living area with the family. A dedicated children's wing comfortably accommodates three robed bedrooms, a private study and a luxurious fully-tiled family bathroom, along with a peaceful lounge that is your theatre room in waiting. Parents, meanwhile, can look forward to having their very own private quarters on the opposite side of the home, which houses a large walk-in dressing room, hotel-style ensuite (soaker bath, frameless walk-in shower, heated towel rack and floating his and hers vanity) and a vast sleeping area that accesses a private deck. The huge dimensions of the 10 car garage with a potbelly heater and direct access into the backyard is ideal for storing heavy machinery, caravan, trucks and a boat, while hydronic heating, evaporative cooling and plantation shutters adds another layer of positive appeal. Seemingly a world away from it all, you're only minutes to local shops and cafes, schools, sporting facilities, parks, transport and Funfields and a short distance to Kinglake National Park and the wineries of the Yarra Valley.
