13B Headline Court, Heathmont VIC 3135

As you walk along the tree covered driveway, reminiscent of a European park, you know you are going to find something special; an exquisite, Victorian style home nestled in a private oasis of lush gardens. Stepping inside this tastefully decorated home, you'll feel an immediate sense of welcome and warmth, with polished chestnut floorboards, high ceilings, stained glass windows, all blending with state of the art amenities to create a modern feel, which also respects the charms of yesteryear.

The wide central hallway passes a cosy formal lounge room with a marble feature fireplace then leads on to what can only be described as a stunning open plan living area, flooded with natural light and featuring a fireplace, home entertainment system and enough room to host a large gathering of friends and family. The French provincial kitchen comes complete with a granite topped island bench, farmhouse double porcelain sinks, fantastic 900mm stainless steel stove and an enormous butler's pantry with copious storage.

The master suite is at the front of the house with walk in robe and elegant ensuite with double vanities, huge shower and separate toilet. There are two bedrooms complete with mirrored robes set in a private wing, and a family bathroom with double shower, plus an extra bedroom (or study) that's perfect for guests. There is also an amazing stock room that everyone dreams of, devoted entirely to floor to ceiling storage.

Quality abounds everywhere you look, from the beautiful drapes and pelmets to the ducted heating, air conditioning and vacuum system, but it is the garden, which is a true masterpiece of design and tranquillity. With two secluded areas to have a quiet morning coffee or enjoy a wood fired pizza or a family BBQ, you are never without a place to sit and listen to the birds or just enjoy the serenity, far from the noise of the street, amongst mature trees and totally unobserved by neighbours. The garden also boasts a large water tank, enormous storage shed and even an aquaponic greenhouse, as well as plenty of playing space for children.

It is unusual to find such a peaceful home, which provides an absolute sense of privacy and seclusion without the inconvenience of isolation. However, Heathmont has a community feel with local shopping, plenty of schools, both public and private, excellent walking tracks and just minutes to trains and freeway access to the CBD. This beautiful home is an idyllic retreat that cannot fail to impress you.
