18 Frances Avenue, Yarra Glen VIC 3775

A delight for the senses from the moment you arrive, this expansive country estate is truly inspiring with its picturesque views, lush designer gardens and character family home. Exclusive yet homely, the well-planned property strikes a desirable balance of impressive formality and relaxing comfort both inside and out. Its style speaks of the Yarra Valley countryside in which it is perfectly settled; a tantalising collection of textures and colours surrounded by natural beauty. And with a little French flair it perfectly epitomises modern provincial living where style, space and comfort come together to provide a lifestyle only a lucky few can realise.

The tree-lined driveway leads to the welcoming entrance framed by Weeping Cherries and plush lawn, with the wide Spotted Gum verandah set against the character of repurposed warehouse bricks. Interiors feature a generously-proportioned, flowing and family-friendly zoned plan with an engaging blend of architectural elements throughout, including a bay window, double-hung windows, high ceilings and skirting, polished timber floors, French doors and dado walls. Multiple spacious living areas support growing families and all-season entertaining, with connections to the surrounding deck, pool and gardens beyond. At every opportunity a view has been captured: the stunning scenery of green foliage and pastures, distant blue mountains and ever changing skies. A country-chic kitchen with quality appliances and abundant storage, four robed bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sizeable laundry complete the interiors and new pure wool carpets add to the allure. Thoughtfully created, the grounds combine Nathan Burkett-designed gardens with lighting, practical spaces and a long list of inclusions that will delight the whole family, including pups, poultry or ponies.

Peacefully positioned at the end of a no-thru road, close to all the conveniences of Yarra Glen and an easy stroll to the Racecourse for market day fun, this is a once in a lifetime property that is elegantly presented with style, space and comfort for a lifestyle you will love.
