Stunningly finished and exquisitely renovated by the current owners, it’s immediately clear from the Castlemaine slate entrance and Tasmanian Oak lined entrance that this is a home where no detail has been overlooked. An intricate and flowing floor plan incorporates a light-filled lounge with feature combustion fireplace, practical kitchen (stainless steel European appliances, a double fridge space and Butler-style pantry), double-glazed windows and contemporary bi-fold doors which open out to a sun-drenched north-facing outdoor entertaining area. A clever u-shaped design means bedroom accommodation is housed in two separate wings along with convenient matching bathrooms that include naturally framed walk-in showers. A private backyard sanctuary matches the meticulously landscaped gardens also enjoyed in the front. An elevated slate entertaining precinct overlooks a step-down timber deck, a sea of lush green grass, vegetable garden, fruit trees, a garden shed and 2 water tanks (8000 litres). Mains-connected solar power (24 panels providing significant savings $800-$1500 approx. electricity bill per year), 3 split-system air-conditioning, large (RC) garage / workshop with internal access, laundry with storage, automatic irrigation watering systems, shade awnings, a canter-lever carport, and additional off-street car parking are just some in a long list of inclusions. This picture-perfect property is tucked away on a peaceful street at the Paris end of Ashburton. Bordering Malvern East and Glen Iris, close to leading schools, acres picturesque parklands, popular Gardiners Creek Bike trail, High St shopping, cafes, restaurants, and services, you’d be hard pressed to find a more polished property in such a prominent and expansive (697sqm block) position.
