Just 3 minutes from Wellington Road, you'd never guess you could have such quiet serenity with such easy commutability! Emerald and Belgrave are just a short drive for shopping, and the local pre schools and primary schools are nearby too – Menzies Creek Primary School, Dandenong Ranges Steiner preschool and primary school are all within a 6 minute drive. On an almost flat ½ acre+, this tidy home with stunning gardens is most definitely a place to call home. You're welcomed with a semi-circular driveway, delivering you straight to the front door. Additionally, there is plenty of undercover parking with a 2 car carport with sealed bitumen floor and 4 car garage with automatic roller door. A workshop attached to the garage is perfect for the tinkerer. With a covered veranda entrance, the front door opens to a spacious living area. Durable laminate floors provide a wood look which ties in beautifully with the interior design. The comfortable living space is adjacent to the dining area and expansive kitchen, which includes dual Ilve ovens, 900mm Ilve gas stovetop, integrated microwave, modern cabinetry including pull out shelving and plenty of drawers, lots of bench space, and a beautiful garden view through the tinted windows while you wash the dishes. A sound system with in-ceiling and mounted speakers in the living space adds to the ambience. Down the hall, there are 3 bedrooms with built in robes, sharing the modern family bathroom with walk in shower. Off the laundry, there is an additional toilet. Warmed by a wood heater and gas ducted heating, and cooled with a Mitsubishi split system, you will feel comfortable all year round. With a 4.5kW solar panel system, your power bills will be well assisted. Outside, a large covered deck overlooks the garden, perfect for alfresco dining during the warmer months. The garden meanders over lawn and through garden beds, an open, sunny block filled with magnolias, rhododendrons, camellias, lemon, lime, and a chestnut tree, perfect for shade during the summer months, somewhere to just sit. A shady courtyard is perfect for tea or cocktails on a summer afternoon. Ideal for a family or professional couple, this is a place of convenience and quiet, to work from home, bring up a family or as a quiet weekend retreat.
