With a distinct character that reflects the local setting and taking in fantastic views from its prominent street position, this large family property is waiting for new owners to make it their own. Owner built and incorporating plenty of living space with a family friendly layout, entry to the home is past a triple garage and driveway and into a dedicated entrance foyer. The magnificent formal front lounge and dining room is dotted with bay windows, has a servery through to the kitchen and is divided by a feature central circular wood fire heater. An open plan second living, meals and kitchen area highlights the amount of room enjoyed throughout this home, the kitchen blending wooden tones and plenty of storage with a 900mm stainless steel oven and dishwasher, electric cook top and plenty of bench space. A clever laundry is sectioned off and has outdoor access while two bedrooms with built-in robes at this end of the home are central to a master bathroom with corner spa bath, separate shower and vanity. With access to its own bar and out to the resort style backyard, the parents' haven is something special, featuring built-in robes, a ceiling fan and ensuite with frameless corner shower. Multiple sliding doors lead out to resort style outdoor living and entertaining which features a magnificent in-ground pool, covered spa, paved seating areas and a built-in mains gas connected barbecue. Private and surrounded by beautiful vegetation the backyard area also accesses a carport, the triple garage, a separate storage shed and perhaps the hidden gem of the home, an under house office, study or teenager's retreat. With direct connection to the front of the home, it could be the perfect spot for a small business, rumpus room for the kids or even a library. Downlights throughout, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, a water tank, alarm system and mains connected solar power add to a property that promises not just a pleasant place to live but the landscape for a brilliant lifestyle. With great connection to the Maroondah Highway, Eastlink and the Yarra Valley and close to Main Street Lilydale, shopping, schools and transport this is an opportunity too good to miss.
