If you are looking for space and a fabulous family home with excellent town amenities close at hand, this could be the one. This residence was built to high specifications, evident in its steel frame, brick construction, generous proportions and charming features; bay windows, hardwood floors and a wraparound veranda with detailed fretwork. A wide entrance, perfect for those family photos, invites you into the open kitchen, dining and living area that is the heart of this home. This large space will accommodate the whole family with ease, including many extended members for those special celebrations. The modern kitchen has excellent preparation space, abundant storage and a deep pantry. There is a separate formal lounge, a peaceful space away from the family. A solid fuel heater brings country charm. Otherwise, ducted heating and ceiling fans provide easy comfort. Plantation shutters throughout are a noteworthy feature, aiding in climate control and mood setting. Sleeping quarters are located on either side of the family hub; the master bedroom with walk-in-robe and spacious ensuite with spa. A private room in these quarters would suit a home office space. At the opposite end, the kid's wing includes three robed bedrooms, (or two and a rumpus room) family bathroom. An adjoining large double garage incorporates a storage room or space for darts. Outside, the secure rear is expansive providing an idyllic space for kids and pets to run free. An impressive man cave/teenage retreat features in the three-bay shed with power and built in sound proof music room. Working from home is a breeze, with NBN connected to the property and the option for two separate home offices. Additional features include; large undercover outdoor entertaining area, laundry with external access, power and water connections for a previously existing granny flat, instant gas hot water (the property is connected to town gas) and 4.5 kilowatt solar system. The location is likewise family friendly; moments from Quahlee Park for family play and bike rides and a few minutes drive to the Woodend township with excellent schools, fabulous eateries and the V/Line train service. Those looking for a rural escape can be in the Melbourne CBD within the hour. This fabulous home is now sitting in readiness for a second family to grow and flourish within.
