Sale By Set Date Tuesday 10 December at 5.00pm A private, peaceful and secluded position towards the end of a quiet country-lane setting in a natural bush environment sets the tone for a quintessential Research family lifestyle you can expect to lead once you call this property "home". Mature trees and established gardens that embrace the 3,962sqm (approx.) allotment cloak the home in privacy, all the while playing host to an assortment of local birdlife that contribute to the serene ambience you'd expect to find deep into the country, not within a short distance of local Research shops, the Eltham Village shopping precinct, the wineries of the Yarra Valley, transport, Research Primary School and Eltham College. The rustic rendered exterior of this contemporary five-bedroom residence takes its natural cues from the surrounding tranquil landscape, while two bright and beautiful living areas are showered in natural light and designed to integrate visually and physically with the picture-perfect outdoors. A showpiece kitchen with a sleek island breakfast bar, stone benchtops, 900mm stainless steel cooker and loads of storage space enjoys pride of the place in the large open-plan living area, while the impressive size and scale of the huge living/dining room coupled with a striking timber bar made from wine crate panels and direct access to a paved garden retreat at the front and scenic paved entertaining area at the rear makes this space to place to entertain. All five bedrooms (master with fully-tiled ensuite), study/sixth bedroom and a deluxe fully-tiled modern bathroom are zoned in privacy upstairs, while this exceptional home also enjoys the benefits of ducted heating/cooling, split-system cooling, bright laundry, polished timber floorboards, beautiful high ceilings, remote double garage with workbench, two separate driveways, large shed, plenty of open space for the kids to explore and a large side paddock that's versatile in its use.
