307 Oban Road, Donvale VIC 3111

Situated on the high side of the road in a semi-rural setting and on a deep 1 acre block (which would easily accommodate further extension of the existing home or be considered as a prime new home site), this warmly and inviting, meticulously maintained 3 bedroom family home has loads of period charm and space between the return verandah at the front and the huge workshop with studio/office at the rear.

The house invites you in with a central hallway which, on one side, opens onto a formal living room with wood fired heater for winter warmth and doors that open onto the verandah for cool summer breezes, and on the other the warm tones of the master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe. At the end, the hallway opens to a huge informal living/dining room with wood fired heater, cosy study off to the side and kitchen with Scala gas cooktop, Westinghouse oven, Asko dishwasher and timber cabinetry. A shorter hallway which branches off the main holds 2 further bedrooms both with built-in robes, a family bathroom with bath and shower, separate toilet and laundry.

Alfresco entertaining or relaxing is easily managed with a huge covered timber deck that opens off the living room and looks out over bush views toward the back of the property. It connects via paved pathway and steps up to a large multi-car garage/workshop with secure internal storeroom and mezzanine/store space. Integrated into this building but completely separate is a spacious studio/office with new bathroom facilities and also plumbing connections for a kitchenette. The garage/workshop/studio can be conveniently accessed independent of the house via a second driveway.

Of note are the period features including ceiling roses, decorative air vents and timber dado in the hallway while other features include ducted heating, 2 x 7000 litre water tanks, huge covered carport connected to the garage, numerous other areas for further parking and a selection of outdoor seating options in the gardens from which to enjoy all the property has to offer.

Surrounded by schools including Park Orchards Primary, Ringwood North Primary, Ringwood Heights Primary, Norwood Secondary College and Whitefriars College, the property is close to Eastland shopping centre and Ringwood station and allows easy entry to Eastlink.
