Within a short distance of the Dandenong Ranges Conservation Reserve and The Basin village, this updated residence nestled within low-maintenance native gardens epitomises picturesque tranquility. Living and entertaining is centered outdoors on the northern deck that wraps around the back of the house where you can sit and relax overlooking the garden and private bushland that extends as far as the eye can see. As the weather cools, a Coonara fireplace warms the open plan living area which boasts rich timber tones and vaulted ceilings with clerestory windows that bring the sunlight in. The updated kitchen features soft-closing cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. Three restful bedrooms include the master with a contemporary ensuite that includes a walk-in shower. Downstairs, rumpus room is a versatile space that resides close by to a third WC and enjoys its own external access, making it perfect as a home office or teenage accommodation. Additional highlights include a sitting room, reverse cycle air-conditioning, water tanks, new carpet, garden shed, partial re-stumping and freshly painted interiors. In a quiet pocket of The Basin, enjoy walks through national parkland or stroll to the village for a coffee and immerse yourself in the mix of cafes, restaurants and boutique shops. This beautiful home is a wonderful escape from a hectic city lifestyle.
