Grand in design and stately in appearance, it's difficult to imagine a home that's better equipped to deliver that quintessential family lifestyle you crave. There's the private outdoor entertaining centrepiece for those summertime get-togethers, the manicured lawn for kids and the three separate living zones that flow across the expansive two-storey layout. And, of course, there's the coveted setting in one of Vermont's more convenient pockets given its walking distance proximity to Vermont primary and secondary schools, Stephens Reserve, Bellbird Dell, Brentford Square shops and bus services. Automatic front gates with video intercom, high fences all around and security alarm promote a safe and secure aspect to this proud family residence, nestled on a sizeable yet easy-care allotment that's wonderfully dressed with landscaped gardens and comfortably accommodates generous off-street car, truck, trailer or boat accommodation. Inside, a magnificent arrangement of formal and communal living spaces speaks volumes of the home's practicality for everyday living. Furthermore, the allocation of an upstairs retreat means the kids can play their games and watch their TV in a private space without disturbing other members of the household. A graceful formal lounge with a gas log fireplace is nestled at the front of the home and caters for those occasions where a classy touch is required, while a spectacular open-plan setting occupies the heart of the downstairs layout, blending family living, sun-kissed dining and a gourmet kitchen as one. Lengthy stone benches, gloss cabinetry, a 900mm ILVE stainless steel cooker and easy-to-clean splashback provide the space and style every home cook desires, while the seamless integration between the open retreat and paved entertaining area, which is set against a scenic backdrop of low maintenance landscaped gardens and towering trees, is the stuff grand entertainers dream about. Four bedrooms of generous proportions are zoned in the privacy of the upstairs layout for your comfort, and with the presence of a fully-tiled toilet and fully-tiled family bathroom with a frameless walk-in shower and his and hers stone vanity, occupants can wake up to luxurious living each and every morning. For parents, the level of luxury is elevated to a class above given a substantial-sized Master bedroom is styled with large walk-in robes, built-in ironing board and a glamorous ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiling, his and hers stone vanity, frameless shower and freestanding soaker bath with a leafy outlook. Downstairs study can be converted into guest accommodation when the in-laws pop in for a weekend visit; gas ducted heating, split-system cooling and a mix between soft carpet and quality tiled flooring, meanwhile, offers the best in modern comfort. Completing the perfect picture for family living is the convenient access to Vermont South Shopping Centre, Forest Hill Chase, Nunawading train station, Burwood Highway trams and Eastlink.
