19-23 North Valley Road, Park Orchards VIC 3114

Carve your way through the privacy-promoting natural landscape flanking the meandering driveway and arrive at a home so captivatingly beautiful and wonderfully functional that, once you call it “home”, you’ll spend a lifetime here.

In fact, it's those two words — beauty and function — that sets this home apart from the rest. Beauty in the manner in which it captures the natural light, the way it interacts physically and visually with its breathtaking surrounds and how it's presented, with high-quality finishes, strong contemporary appeal and captivating ceilings of various heights and dimensions. And as for function, it's the intelligence of the design, with no wasted space, three living areas for enhanced everyday functionality and crafted with a focus on family and a passion for entertaining.

Full-length windows in the relaxed living (with gas log fireplace) capture nature at her absolute best, framing a sweeping vista across the leafy treetops and effectively eliminating the need for any works of art to grace the space. Those same views can also be enjoyed while unwinding in the vast family living area in the heart of the home, as you dine with the family in the large dining area or enjoy breakfast with the kookaburras or cocktails at sunset on the spectacular wraparound alfresco deck.

The glamorous nature of the gourmet kitchen is sure to please, and with an island breakfast bench with waterfall stone benchtops, a 900mm freestanding stainless steel cooker and plenty of storage, it’s clearly a stage for the cook of the home to shine.

The private nature of the downstairs rumpus lends itself well to a games haven for the kids, and if you’re running a business from home, there’s no reason why the space can’t become your new business headquarters!

The intelligent zoning of all four double bedrooms and a luxurious fully-tiled family bathroom within a dedicated accommodation zone offers a superior level of privacy, while the manner in which the oversized master bedroom and its hotel-style ensuite frame the scenic surrounds means parents wake up to a picture-perfect view every morning.

That holiday feel extends to the great outdoors, where a glistening swimming pool offers a taste of resort living, while polished timber floorboards upstairs, ducted refrigerated cooling/heating, landscaped gardens, 4-car garage, single carport, workshop, large cellar and convenient access to schools, local shops, buses and the Eastern Freeway/Eastlink adds further appeal.
