It is rare to find a property such as this so close to town but secluded enough to feel like you are miles away. Positioned on a huge 2 acre block in the leafy suburb of Mount Helen, this sprawling property will impress even the most discerning buyer. The home has a "country manor" appeal about it with the polished timber floors, wood panelling, high ceilings and large rooms, and the way the gorgeous garden is drawn inside with the massive windows is truly masterful. Your friends and visitors will be captivated by the dining room view as they walk through the front door. Upstairs, the master bedroom, complete with a split system air con is massive with a built-in robe and a large built-in study/office that could be easily converted into a walk-in robe. The ensuite is off the hallway which can double as an extra bathroom. There are 4 more good sized bedrooms, all with built-in robes. The main bathroom is equipped with a large claw foot bath and there is an additional separate toilet. Downstairs is kept warm through the cooler months with a ducted heating system which keeps the whole home at a comfortable temperature. There is a huge living space found at the northern end of the home. This is a fantastic room for young kids to contain toys and play areas, or if you have teenagers turn it into a games room with a pool table, big screen TV, bean bags. Later when the kids start to leave, convert it to a theatre room. The family room naturally flows into the meals and kitchen area. Walk from the kitchen/meals area straight onto the elevated deck with beautiful views, perfect for enjoying those crisp morning cuppas or a BBQ and glass of red and entertaining on a warm summers evening as the sun sets below the tree line to the west. The sprawling gardens to the rear of the house are low maintenance and include a blend of hardy native shrubs and trees. There is a 2-car garage attached to the house which doubles as vehicle access to the fully fenced partly-treed rear block and kitchen garden with raised beds and fruit trees. A Colorbond steel shed on a concrete slab serves as a workshop with 2-phase power and a 4m built-in workbench on one side leaving plenty of space for projects or storage. An adjacent 20,000L rainwater tank services the kitchen garden, however the property is connected to all services. This is a spectacular property that will surprise and delight you with the options available. If you're looking for a large home with loads of space for kids and pets to run wild, then you need to come and inspect.
