Craftsmen built almost 40 years ago and transcending time with its unique original design, this well-loved foothills abode showcasing rustic timber raked ceilings, timber lined walls and exposed brick is a house you will genuinely love coming home to. Tightly held, the location is one of The Basin's best with hill views and walking distance to "the local" where you'll find the butcher, the baker and everything in between. "Carramar" is everything you have dreamed of in a family home with solid foundations, a wonderfully flexible layout and a huge allotment with dual driveways to cater for families of any stage made more enticing by the "tree change" opportunity the locale presents. There is also plenty of opportunity to add your own modern touches whilst retaining the timeless design elements. The heart of the home is the skylit country kitchen and meals with the warmth of yesterday radiating via exposed bricks and the classic wood combustion oven. The stainless-steel appliances and walk-in pantry add a contemporary and functional touch to this well-equipped space where you can enjoy casual meals and conversation. The inviting lounge is warmed by a crackling open fireplace and enhanced by Dutch-inspired windows providing a wonderful family space to gather, relax or entertain. There is another flexible living area on the lower level with alluring natural light and access to a covered alfresco deck where you can enjoy the private soothing vistas of the leafy backyard or distant hills. With a growing family being on the owner's mind when designing the home, the four bedrooms with elegant picture windows and built-in robes are extra-large with peaceful outlooks. Serviced by a family bathroom with plenty of scope for a modern upgrade, the accommodation zone is private and restful. Manicured gardens make outdoor time a pleasure with a unique windmill, vine-covered walkways leading to lush lawn, blooming roses and vegetable garden beds. Additional highlights include ducted heating, ceiling fans, rainwater tank, security system and remote double garage. Location wise you are positioned at the foothills of the iconic Dandenong Ranges for scenic walks and darling villages as well as walking distance to schools, kindergartens, and the charming Basin village shops for your morning coffee, fresh flowers or bakery treat. The Basin Triangle park is also a few footsteps away where children will love the playground or enjoy fish and chips with friends.
