Quietly nestled back off the street in the affluent Lakeview Estate, this traditional brick family home on an open and spacious block is family focused living at its best. Past landscaped gardens and plenty of off-street parking, entry is into a bright tiled foyer which provides access to all parts of a flowing floorplan. Double doors lead to a magnificent formal front lounge which provides the perfect place to both entertain and relax with family and friends while the extensive entrance hall works its way around to an impressive open plan living, dining and kitchen space. There's plenty of room for the furniture, dining table and chairs in this open and airy precinct, the kitchen incorporating built-in gas cooking, a wall-mounted oven and ample storage with a breakfast bar and double pantry. This spacious family zone connects to both the huge outdoor deck and accommodation which includes 4 bedrooms, 2 with built-in robes and a brilliant master with walk-in robe, split-system air conditioning and an en-suite with twin vanity. Central and ready to handle the rigors of family life, a second main bathroom enjoys a separate corner shower and in-set bath, while a functional laundry has built-in storage and outdoor access. Covered and positioned to provide both shade and to take in the morning sun, the spectacular outdoor entertaining deck is just one highlight in an all-encompassing garden sanctuary which includes a large amount of grassed backyard for the kids and pets to explore, a secure pet run, citrus garden, garden shed and amazing views of Lilydale Lake, surrounding parklands and the hills of the Yarra Ranges. With fresh paintwork throughout, modern window furnishings, downlights, evaporative cooling, split-system air-conditioning, an alarm system, gas ducted heating and a double carport, this is a complete package that is ready for a new family to move in and love for many years. Easy walk to Lilydale Lake, convenient access to local schools including Edinburgh College, Billanook College, Lilydale High School and Mooroolbark East Primary School. The 680 Bus Stop a few doors away provide easy access to Mooroolbark and Lilydale train stations and shopping, plus with great connection to Hull Road, the Maroondah Highway and Eastlink.
