Located in the prestigious Donvale acre precinct accessed via Berrima Road. Enjoying total seclusion amongst breathtaking leafy surrounds in Donvale's premier acre precinct, this true lifestyle property presents a quintessential treescape on a private 1.4 acre (approx.) sanctuary only 30 minutes from Melbourne's CBD. Pure luxury, immaculate presentation and innovative architectural design are standout features of the zoned single-level layout, which frames calming vistas of the surrounding landscape and successfully hides all bedrooms of generous proportions on a private accommodation wing, well away from the home's three separate living zones. A radiant entrance that flows onto the opulent formal living areas provides a fitting introduction to this impressive residence, which is climate controlled with gas ducted heating and evaporative cooling and equipped with ducted vacuuming and a security alarm. Formal lounge with open fireplace and dining provide an elegant setting to entertain, while relaxing in front of a second open fireplace that delivers warmth throughout the vibrant open-plan living (with wet bar) and savouring the picturesque view is arguably one of the great escapes from the rigmarole of daily life. On warmer days, however, you'll be tempted to step outside to chat or dine on the peaceful lower lawn that's set amongst leafy trees whilst overlooking the trickling creek that runs through the front of the property. Enjoy the luxury of cooking with a view whenever you prepare family meals inside the excellent cook's kitchen, which is styled with a large walk-in pantry, lengthy benchtops, Fisher and Paykel dishwashing drawers and a 900mm Falcon five-burner cooker. A light-filled rumpus room, with a direct outlook across the home's outdoor entertaining area, also offers a fantastic space for kids to play their games without disturbing other members of the household. A covered alfresco entertaining area, complete with a wood-fired hotplate and open fireplace, stands alongside the saltwater-chlorinated and solar-heated swimming pool (with swim jets and waterfall feature) to create a show-stopping outdoor entertaining centrepiece, while a family bathroom with a spa bath and Master ensuite crafted with a fernery adds a splash of luxury and high-end style. This feature-packed home also boasts a large laundry with sewing area, elevated rear grounds with established gardens, side driveway for trailer parking and a remote triple garage with rear roller door. Conveniently located within easy access of the Mullum Mullum Creek Trail, Tunstall Square shops, The Pines Shopping Centre, bus services, well-regarded private schools and the Eastern Freeway/Eastlink.
