12 Sophora Court, Templestowe Lower VIC 3107

Enjoying pride of place at the top of a peaceful cul de sac on a private allotment surrounded by high fences and breathtaking gardens, give your kids a childhood to remember with this excellent Mediterranean-inspired family residence.

With its coveted court location, you'll love the limited volume of traffic that enters the neighbourhood, presenting the perfect environment in which to raise a young family. And with excellent access to Westfield Shoppingtown, Aquarena Leisure Centre, Ruffey Lake Park, schools and the Eastern Freeway, a convenient family lifestyle is an absolute given.

Instantly feel yourself being whisked away to the charm of Tuscany as your passage to the front timber door navigates along a lengthy pathway lined with arches and a paved entertaining courtyard, ideal for gatherings beneath a star-lit sky or a peaceful sanctuary to enjoy a glass of Chianti at sunset. Step inside and bask in a flowing, single-level layout defined by its generous proportions, zoned living, captivating architectural design, polished timber floorboards and excellent indoor-outdoor options.

Throw some logs into the open fireplace and melt away any tensions of the day as you unwind in the comfort of the light-filled living, or you could slide open the glass doors and venture onto the stunning deck, which relaxes the mind with its wonderful outlook across the leafy treetops and landscaped backyard below.

An open-plan entertaining hub seamlessly blends the central modern kitchen (with quality stainless steel appliances) with two dining areas whilst also extending onto the large entertainer's deck. An intimate lounge that flows off the area also presents the ideal place for children to play while you prepare meals, keeping them close at hand while not underfoot.

Zoned living sees all bedrooms tucked away on a secluded wing, along with an updated family bathroom. A huge Master bedroom, meanwhile, delights with its vast sleeping area, deck access, spacious retreat/study, mirror built-in robes and modern ensuite styled with a walk-in frameless shower.

A private backyard is landscaped to perfection with mature trees and gardens, while generous storage, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling and security alarm adds further appeal.
