6 Phar Lap Close, Mill Park VIC 3082

Set in a quiet cul-de-sac named after one of Australia's most celebrated racehorses, this single-level home, on approximately 688 square metres, has the scale, flexibility and outdoor appeal to put family life in full stride.

The front lawn creates a sunny first impression before the interior opens into a generous lounge, where polished floorboards and broad windows give the room an easy, settled feel. From here, the floorplan keeps unfolding. A sitting room and dining room extend the living zones, with sliding doors opening straight to a huge covered deck made for long lunches, birthday parties, all-season barbecues and relaxed weekends overlooking the garden. The meals area also connects to the deck, sitting beside the U-shaped kitchen with a long breakfast bar, gas cooking, and ample bench space to prep food for a busy household.

Sleeping accommodation comprises five bedrooms served by two bathrooms. One of the bedrooms could be adapted into a home office, depending on your needs.

At the rear, there's room for children, pets and green thumbs, with two garden sheds adding storage. Ducted heating and cooling, reverse-cycle air conditioning, solar panels, a garage and three additional off-street car spaces leave little else to want.

Walk to Mill Park Primary School, with Mill Park Secondary College, South Morang Station, buses, The Stables Shopping Centre, DFO Uni Hill, Westfield Plenty Valley, RMIT and Dr Harry Jenkins Park all close by.

Spacious, comfortable and ready for the long run, this is a residence worth backing.
