25 Watersedge Terrace, Highton VIC 3216

Exclusive family living doesn't get much better than this secluded oasis with rare Barwon River frontage and direct access to walking trails. Positioned in one of Queens Park's most highly prized streets, the 1122sqm property enjoys magnificent river views and dreamy gardens by celebrated landscape designer Christian Jenkins.

Whether relaxing in the Japanese hot tub on the deck, shooting hoops on the purpose-built basketball quarter court or entertaining around the fire pit, the lifestyle benefits are endless.

The split level four-bedroom house has undergone a modern renovation that showcases a magnificent indoor-outdoor connection, with large windows framing river and garden views from almost every room. You'll feel at one with nature in either of the two light-filled living areas where gum trees along the riverbank create a tranquil backdrop.

Polished timber floors flow from the entry hall into the main open-plan zone featuring a wood fire and dramatic timber windows overlooking the river.

A modern kitchen with a stone island bench, Siemens oven and warming drawer and induction cooktop is perfectly positioned for entertaining on the adjoining deck. Here you'll find the cedar spa where you can sit and unwind and a corten steel water feature surrounded by lush greenery.

There's another deck off the second lounge room on the lower level, which also opens onto a north-facing terrace and a beautiful fire pit with circular seating. The landscaping comes into its own on this level of the garden with a curved brick feature wall lending an industrial edge to the impressive basketball court.
A lush lawn and swing set on the tier below provides additional space for the kids to play, while a gate provides private access to Barwon River walking tracks.

The home's flexible floorplan is perfect for families looking to carve out their own space, with a study and powder room completing the entry level. There are two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, an updated bathroom, laundry and a second powder room on the floor above.

Lovely large windows are a highlight of the main bedroom, with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with under floor heating, along with a fourth bedroom positioned on the upper level.

Other features include an abundance of attic storage, a double garage and reverse cycle heating and cooling throughout, a raised vegetable patch and established fruit trees.
