A fantastic court location sets the scene for this updated brick home, positioned just down the road from Drake Court Reserve, close to Mount Lilydale Mercy College and the picturesque Warburton/Lilydale Rail Trail. Entry to the solid steel-framed home is via landscaped gardens and the double garage into a roomy tiled foyer which overlooks a brilliant sunken lounge and elevated dining space fitted with insulated hardwood flooring. A study or home office off this space is a clever addition as the hardwood floors continue through to a large and open second living and seating area with gas log fire and split-system air-conditioning, connecting to the well-appointed kitchen. Updated and with plenty of cupboard and bench space, the kitchen features stainless steel built-in gas cooking, range hood, wall-mounted oven, built-in microwave and dishwasher, a new tiled splash back and spacious pantry. Two bedrooms at this end of the home have built-in robes and ceiling fans for comfort and are serviced by a magnificent new bathroom with walk-in shower, freestanding bath and contemporary floor to wall tiling. The master bedroom at the front of the home is a place to relax with walk-in robe and its own modern ensuite. Sliding doors off the sunlit second living area lead out to an impressive outdoor entertaining deck and separate enclosed outdoor spa. Aside from the expansive grassed backyard equipped with kids' playground and cubby house, the highlight of the outdoor space is undoubtedly the large rumpus/retreat at the end of the internal driveway. Incorporating a bar, air-conditioning, wall-mounted television point, pool table and a separate workshop, this is the ultimate man-cave or could be converted into a self-contained unit or teenager's retreat (STCA). Packed full of extras, this property also comes with a double lock up garage with drive-through rear roller door, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, 7500 (approx.) litre water tank with pump, high-angled ceilings, separate toilet/powder room and downlights throughout. In a private and quiet neighbourhood with connection to the Maroondah Highway, Main Street Lilydale, Eastlink and on the door step to the spectacular Yarra Valley, this is a quality home that its lucky new owners will enjoy for many years.
