*** INSPECTION BY APPOINTMENT ONLY *** Set on a picturesque and sprawling acreage just minutes from town, this spacious and incredibly kept homestead was purpose built for a private and peaceful family lifestyle. The property begins with an extended driveway that winds its way through plenty of open landscape, culminating with a convenient turn-around driveway and American barn style triple garage. A striking wrap around covered verandah welcomes you into this impeccably presented residence where an open tiled foyer connects to all parts of an inviting layout. Blending traditional charm with classy touches, the home offers a bright and spacious semi-formal lounge room with gas log fireplace which connects cleverly to a large dining area and open central kitchen with split-system air-conditioning. Impressive wooden tones highlight a custom kitchen design which features a 900mm built-in gas cook top and built in side deep fryer with extraction fan, stainless steel range hood, dishwasher and wall-mounted oven, a double pantry, Island bench and breakfast bar, plus intricate integrated storage options. A separate family retreat or home office gives you options, 3 bedrooms off the hallway all have built-in robes with the potential of the study being converted to a 4th bedroom for the growing family. All bedrooms have ceiling fans and individual direct access to the sprawling grounds, and the master bedroom has its own private en-suite. The large central bathroom has a walk-in shower, separate inset bath, skylight and heat light, while a stand-alone laundry has ample built-in storage. A magnificent covered outdoor entertaining precinct forms the centre-piece of a conducive backyard which also features beautifully established gardens, plenty of lush grass, additional seating areas and a garden shed. Surrounding grounds incorporate a second garage/workshop with power and water, plus an abundance of shady trees. In a much-loved home, with nothing to do but move in and enjoy, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ducted vacuuming, passionfruit trees and a brilliant north-westerly aspect add to what is a fantastic family package. Quietly tucked away, yet close to Wandin North shops, cafes, restaurants and services, with proximity to the Warburton Highway, Mount Evelyn, Canterbury Road and Lilydale Lake, plus with great connection to the Maroondah Highway, Eastlink and the magnificent Yarra Valley - a better location, layout and lifestyle opportunity would be hard to find.
