5 Stud Court, Skye VIC 3977

Set among an exquisite garden of palm trees, cycads and sub-tropical South African, Australian and New Zealand natives, this botanist's-own home delights with spacious dimensions and a free-flowing layout cascading through two living zones to a tranquil covered alfresco terrace.

Cradled down a quiet no-through road flanked by reserves on both sides, the residence is 800m to Rowellyn Park Primary School and 650m to Carrum Downs Secondary College, providing the ideal base for those with children of every age.

Two lovely living areas with timeless timber flooring are divided by a light-filled central kitchen equipped with a breakfast bar, gas cooktop and sleek white appliances, including a dishwasher and wall-mounted oven.

Sliding glass doors off the family room glide open to an entertainer's patio to dine and host in the open air backdropped by the glorious garden, which offers room for a swing set for the kids or grandkids.

Well-considered family zoning situates the three junior bedrooms with built-in robes and a family bathroom down a separate hall in a children's wing, while the master guards the fort off the entry and includes a mirrored walk-in robe and an ensuite.

Just 1km from Carrum Downs Regional Shopping Centre, the property includes a lovely dining area, ducted heating and cooling, two sheds, raised veggie beds, a prolific lemon tree, ample off-street parking and scope to add your own modern updates over time.
