Dismiss what you think you know about a family home in Doncaster for here is an architecturally designed family home that's unlike anything you've ever seen in the heart of Doncaster. Beautifully sited amidst breathtaking gardens that create a wall of privacy and tranquillity usually reserved for homes in Warrandyte, this hidden oasis offers a natural escape within a short walk of Westfield Shoppingtown, Doncaster primary and secondary schools, Doncaster Library, bus services and Marshall Ave Reserve, which is over the back fence. Who said you can't have country-style serenity with city conveniences! Brilliantly designed with a scenic outlook from every window, this triumph of architectural design captivates with its curved ceilings, glass brick walls, Shugg windows, connection with its natural surrounds and numerous architectural inspired features in addition to delivering an innovative split-level floorplan that celebrates the notion of family. Accommodation quarters are thoughtfully zoned in privacy, with three bedrooms of generous proportions and a bright family bathroom sweeping off the home's entry, while the entire first floor has been reserved for the parents' enjoyment. Featuring a robed bedroom, ensuite and light-filled study/retreat, it's the ultimate parents' retreat. French doors provide a seamless link between the peaceful lounge/dining (with fireplace) and entertainer's deck, where you can sip on your morning coffee or indulge in a cocktail at sunset amidst a chorus of birdsong. And given the deck's direct outlook across the picture-perfect backyard that features a large lawn area, basketball half court, cubby house and outdoor dining area set beneath towering leafy trees, keeping an eye on the kids is incredibly relaxing. The positive impressions extend to the radiant open-plan living area, where scenic views are a given and an excellent timber kitchen with a Lofra 600mm freestanding stainless steel cooker, ASKO dishwasher and walk-in pantry makes preparing family feasts a breeze. Climate controlled with split-system cooling and ducted heating, this standout family home also features a security alarm, polished timber floors, separate laundry, loads of storage, a tandem double garage and convenient access to the Eastern Freeway.
