18 Burns Close, Dromana VIC 3936

Directly abutting forested Crown land with stunning bay views in the distance, this spacious five-bedroom family home captures the essence of coastal living just a few minutes' drive to the town centre and beach in the foothills of Arthurs Seat.

Defined by an airy open floorplan uniting the lounge with the dining area and luminous living room beneath a cathedral ceiling beyond, an as-new kitchen with stone countertops, Asko dishwasher and 900mm oven in the heart allows easy access to all zones in this entertainer's haven.

A bank of sliding glass doors open to a vast deck backdropped by tranquil treetop vistas over the neighbouring valley and Port Phillip Bay in the close distance, while the bay and shoreline views are truly spectacular from the third lounge, which supplements the large junior bedrooms and modern bathroom upstairs.

Sharing the coastal views and absolute serenity, the master bedroom with walk-in robe and contemporary ensuite with rainshower is conveniently situated on the entry level, while polished timber floors, elegant feature walls and a romantic log-burning heater bring warmth and character.

Set among Zen-like gardens with trickling water features at the end of a court, among the inclusions are an open study, third bathroom, ducted heating, energy-saving solar panels, cubby house, chook pen, under-deck storage, double carport, triple garage with workshop and direct gated access to the reserve.
