61 Buckland Street, Epsom VIC 3551

If it wasn't for the meticulously established gardens, you could easily mistake this immaculate residence for a new build. Yet the builder constructed this 3-bedroom home for his downsizing sister 9 years ago.

One of the main stresses of downsizing is finding places for the things you can't part with. This home takes care of that. Effective use of space has maximised storage throughout to create a downsizer's paradise.

The master bedroom, with timber-look flooring, boasts a roomy ensuite which leads to a walk-in robe. The two remaining bedrooms have built-in robes.

The hallways provide two generously sized linen presses and a broom cupboard for additional storage. Even the laundry, which is concealed behind sliding doors in the garage, includes a full-size trough, bench space and cupboards. And then there's the garden shed.

But there is a lot more to this home than storage.

Home chefs will be wowed by the kitchen. Starting with the walk-in butler's pantry. Its generous proportions ensure you can keep the engineered stone benchtop clear for creating culinary masterpieces. Quality stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, gas cooktop and electric wall oven and separate grill will be your workhorses.

The adjacent living area will be the place to unwind and immerse yourself in the garden views.

In warmer weather you can shift outside to the paved undercover area. Here roller blinds provide a shield from late afternoon sun. The grandkids will enjoy the feel of spongy turf underfoot as they explore the low maintenance garden. Shrubbery along the boundary softens the look of the high Colorbond fence which secures the yard.

Premium floor tiles in the high-traffic and living areas means spills are easy to deal with, so you can relax when those little feet come back inside.

Central heating ensures your comfort even on the coldest winter days, while a reverse cycle split-system and ceiling fan in the living area and ceiling fans in the bedrooms will help you keep your cool when the heat arrives.

The attached single garage with remote control roller door and internal access will make your homecoming warm and dry.

Grocery shopping will be a breeze with Epsom Village a 5-minute drive away. A 12-minute walk will take you to the botanic gardens. This convenient location is belied by the bushy outlook across the road.

Securely tucked away off the street, this secluded quality home is the upgrade your downsize is looking for.
