Embrace the serenity of a regional lifestyle with this exquisite, spacious family home on a 1516sqm (approx.) allotment boasting spectacular lush gardens.
Attention to detail has been a priority in renovating and updating the French provincial-style home overlooking Lara Lake Reserve and a tributary of Hovells Creek.
The unique location ensures it is a paradise for bird lovers, sharing the neighbourhood with the likes of cockatoos, parrots, water fowl and even pelicans.
Expansive rooms and long verandahs take advantage of a north-facing aspect to welcome warmth and enjoy the stunning slice of greenery along the length of the property.
Two living zones, a sun-soaked paved alfresco area, sweeping lawns and four large bedrooms provide abundant space for a growing family.
The central open-plan kitchen, living and dining zone and adjoining large formal lounge with gas log fire form a hub for get-togethers all year round.
And a light-filled rumpus room with vaulted hexagonal timber-lined ceiling and garden outlook is a perfect teenage retreat or family getaway space at the rear of the home.
The chef will be in heaven in the spacious kitchen featuring wide island bench with double butler’s sink and breakfast bar, granite benchtops, quality appliances, including a 900mm Smeg oven and five-burner gas cooktop, and a coffee station.
It overlooks the dining area, which easily accommodates a full-size dining suite with extra space for kids to play, along with a north-facing sitting area ideal for morning coffee or breakfast in the sun.
The main bedroom, at the front of the house to ensure privacy, features a walk-in robe and ensuite, while three other generous bedrooms have mirrored built-in robes and are serviced by a central family bathroom, with deep, cast-iron soaker tub, separate shower, floor-to-ceiling marble tiles and unique built-in dressing table/make-up station.
Other highlights include bamboo floors, ducted heating and cooling, split-system units, ceiling fans, separate laundry, security system, two 5000-litre water tanks, storage shed, plus two garages that house six cars and/or a man cave and workshop, along with driveway space for a trailer, caravan and a small boat.
The carefully tended gardens include Canadian maple and plane trees, an array of roses, manicured lawns, hedges for privacy and an easy-care watering system.
The home is a five-minute walk to Lara Lake Primary School or Lara Aquatic Centre and a short drive to shopping and dining and Lara train station.
Step out your gate to wander trails in Lara Lake Reserve and enjoy being within easy reach of Serendip Sanctuary, the You Yangs, Avalon Airport, the Princes Freeway to Melbourne and less than 20 minutes’ drive to the centre of Geelong.
