17 David Close, Riddells Creek VIC 3431

Pretty as a picture within a quiet cul-de-sac, this charming cottage property spans 4 acres amidst landscaped gardens and clever additions including an American Barn, extended two-bed guest accommodation and lashings of stunning timber detail.

Opening to a beautiful central staircase and soaring, steeply pitched timber ceilings, this home is beautifully designed for family living. A flexible dining or lounge area, equipped with cosy wood fire, is great for entertaining, and adjoins the kitchen with a 900mm stainless steel oven, dishwasher and walk-in pantry, with bright garden aspects from both spaces. Beyond, there?s a rumpus perfect for watching the latest movies, plus an adjoining study or home office. Upstairs, parents will love their vast, resort-style master suite, with masses of robe space, sunny ensuite and a window seat, but the kids are well looked after too, with two bedrooms and a newly renovated spa bathroom, plus an extended, converted garage into two bedrooms/bathroom, which could be great for guests or teenagers too. The house includes central gas heating and two split-system airconditioners.

Outside, there?s plenty of lawn and a terrace for alfresco dining, while the wider property offers two paddocks, two stables (one with a tack room, the other with a yard), chook yard, dam, double garage, plus the sensational American Barn with its loft, bar area and storage space for up to six cars.
