1 Collina Mews, Skye VIC 3977

Gazing out across the rolling green pastures of the rural land directly opposite, this four-bedroom home on the edge of the green wedge offers all the peace and privacy of country living yet so close to schools, major shopping and all essentials in the heart of Skye.

Cradled down a very family-friendly road 500 metres to the local playground, surprising space and superb natural light is a welcome highlight of the residence, which boasts three living zones over a sprawling single level.

Between the formal and informal living zones, a large kitchen with island bench, stainless-steel dishwasher, dual Belling ovens, gas cooktop and walk-in pantry is well appointed for a home of this size, while a huge rumpus room in the rear boasts a cathedral ceiling and ample space for a billiards table.

Glass sliding doors open both the rumpus and family room to an expansive outdoor entertaining area with backdropped by palm trees to throw large alfresco soirees savoured well into the evening with a moonlight dip in the steamy jacuzzi.

Savvy zoning situates the junior bedrooms with built-in robes down a separate hall with a family bathroom, while parents enjoy the lovely master with walk-in robe and ensuite beside the study/fourth bedroom/nursery off the formal lounge.

Walking distance to Rowellyn Park Primary School, cycling distance to Carrum Downs Secondary College and a few minutes' drive to Carrum Downs Regional Shopping Centre, the property includes ducted heating, split-system airconditioning, solar panels and a double garage with drive-through access for the boat/trailer.
