Successfully blending timeless elegance with contemporary sophistication, indulge in a family lifestyle within Donvale's prestigious acre precinct with this magnificent five-bedroom family sanctuary. Single-level in design with the lifestyle benefits of three living areas graced with beautiful garden aspects, a dedicated accommodation wing secluded in total privacy and a brilliant outdoor entertaining area that looks across the sprawling north-facing backyard and towards One Tree Hill Reserve in the distance, it's easy to see how enriched your family lifestyle will become the instant you're this proud home's next occupant. Breathtaking gardens decorate the front of the property in a picture-perfect light, and that essence of immaculate presentation and attention to detail extends into the showroom interior. The period character of the classically designed formal lounge room transports you to a bygone era with its decorative features, high ceilings with elegant cornices, period fireplace and corbelled archway, which separates the lounge from the equally charming formal dining room. Architectural brilliance, meanwhile, is a feat of the semi-secluded family living, set beneath a captivating dome timber ceiling that can be appreciated by the entire family at day's end. Capturing the northerly aspect, this peaceful retreat is therefore filled with light and picturesque views, much like the contemporary open-plan meals/kitchen area, where you can keep an eye on the kids playing outside as you create a culinary feast in the sleek as-new kitchen. Zoned living sees all spacious bedrooms tucked away on a private wing, and whilst the master bedroom delights with its large walk-in robes and renovated ensuite (with floating vanity and frameless walk-in shower), all other occupants can indulge in the luxurious nature of the renovated family bathroom featuring a bath with a view, heated towel rack, floating his and hers vanity and an oversized frameless double shower. This remarkable residence also features fertile vegetable gardens, two water tanks (22,000-litre and 9,000-litre capacities), large garden shed, basketball half court, side access, underhouse storage, seperate central heating units, evaporative cooling, solar panels and hot water, security alarm, ducted vacuum, large garage with high ceilings and plenty of off-street parking. The Eastern Freeway/Eastlink, Tunstall Square shops, bus services and well-regarded private schools are also only moments away
