6/8 Smiths Road, Maiden Gully VIC 3551

We’re making a big call here and declaring this new listing the best value home in Maiden Gully right now. The big, landscaped block, with rear access, boasts a 14-month-old GJ Gardner home that epitomises everything we love about current design trends.

The first stand-out feature is the rustic brick construction, bringing warmth, class and character at every angle. The second thing to note is the spacious family-friendly floorplan that’s also just a little bit different.

There are five bedrooms here, the fifth is currently used as a home office, with built-in-desk and storage. The others all have sleek black ceiling fans, while the master also has a walk-in-robe and ensuite. The contemporary ensuite has an oversized shower, dual vanity and separate toilet. And the family bathroom has a deep, oversized tub. Both have neutral colour palettes with black accents. A further powder room is a practical addition.

Two large living areas consist of a front loungeroom and rear open-plan kitchen/dining/living room. The gleaming white kitchen has a wide, deep island bench for prep and informal dining, stone benches, 900mm freestanding stainless-steel stove and butler's pantry.

The living space continues outside, with a generous aggregate concrete alfresco area, with ceiling fan. Enjoy time in the private backyard, with its expanse of lawn, its dedicated firepit area and huge shed with electric roller doors. Electric gates at rear and side driveways allow for easy access to the garage.

Further luxury features to consider are ducted heating and cooling, high ceilings, internal barn doors and an in-built sound system in the home.

There’s nothing more to do except move your family into the great Maiden Gully neighbourhood and enjoy the proximity to local schools, childcare, shops and supermarket, and the natural environment that characterises the suburb.
