59 O'briens Lane, Templestowe VIC 3106

Indulge in the relaxing scenic views. Bask in the sweet serenity. And revel in a fantastic 37sq (approx.) home tailor-made for the growing family thanks to its four large living areas, modern comfort and sprawling yet easy-to-maintain grounds.

Less than a 30-minute drive into the CBD (off peak), city professionals can enjoy an easy commute into the heart of Melbourne. In fact, not much is out of reach from this desirable location, with Templestowe Village, well-regarded schools, Westfield Shoppingtown, the Eastern Freeway and public transport (Route 95 with direct access to the CBD) only minutes away.
Surrounded by some of Templestowe's very best multi-million dollar homes yet well hidden on a battle-axe acre (approx.) allotment, homebuyers can also treat their young family to a superior level of privacy given its remarkable seclusion. When packaged with the surrounding leafy landscape that one can enjoy from the comfort of the rear timber deck or through the numerous windows that frame this owner-designed and built residence, you could say it's your own B&B to call home.

The attractiveness of the home extends to its radiant, two-level interior, which blends class and elegance with contemporary touches and ducted reverse cycle refrigerated cooling and heating to achieve an incredible sense of warmth and everyday family comfort.

Indoor-outdoor living is a design feature embraced by the formal lounge/dining and central open-plan meals/kitchen area, both of which extend onto the peaceful rear deck with a view across the north-south tennis court.

Host family gatherings in the downstairs living area with a wet bar, and given its easy access to a powder room and shower room, there's scope to convert the large space into guest quarters for the in-laws.

Thoughtful design also extends to the positioning of the home's four spacious bedrooms (master with walk-through robes and an ensuite fitted with a laundry chute), all of which are zoned upstairs, along with a sizeable retreat and bright family bathroom.

Pockets of park-like lawn areas will also keep the kids well occupied on sunny days.

Backing onto nine acres of private parklands that are regularly maintained by a grounds person, this excellent family upgrade also features a study, four-car garage with internal access, intercom, back-to-base alarm and underhouse storage.
