Only four years old, this gorgeous Edwardian style character home offers period charm without the costly maintenance of an older house. This property seamlessly blends the best of both worlds. Period features like high ceilings, leadlight entry door, timber flooring, ornamental chandeliers and claw foot bath complement modern conveniences like gas ducted heating, galley kitchen with 4-metre bench top, Blanco freestanding cooker oven, oversized laundry, a remote-controlled double garage with rear roller door access to the backyard and a concrete driveway with extra parking space at the top. The home's tri-level open plan design fosters family togetherness and offers considerable flexibility with room options. Currently used as 3 bedrooms + study + 3 living areas, the rooms could easily be reallocated to create a 4 bedroom + study + 2 living area home, or even 5 bedrooms + 2 living areas. The fully enclosed front yard will delight children (while you relax on the front verandah) and the large paved entertaining area beyond the French doors at the rear of the house is ideal for summer BBQs. There are two other level areas out the back (just perfect for a game of soccer or some play equipment), a rainwater tank and a near new Steelchief garden shed. To top it all off is the location: 100 metres from Baynes Park, 300 metres from the impressive new Monbulk Aquatic Centre and Gym, 500 metres from the main street of Monbulk and 600 metres from the local primary school! Not to mention the fact that Belgrave and Lilydale buses as well as numerous private school buses all service Baynes Park Road. Ideal for families but sufficiently low maintenance for working couples or retirees, this is a beautiful home that will offer one lucky buyer a wonderful lifestyle for many years to come.
