This beautifully presented 10 year-old weatherboard home is an idyllic country retreat with wonderfully landscaped grounds, and magnificent views to the Glenburn hills. Close to national parks, riding trails and wineries, it's just a few minutes drive from the shops and cafes of Kinglake.
Reached via a quiet country lane, this property looks out over three clear acres of sloping lawns down to two dams with bulrushes and water lilies, stocked with native fish, and a shaded fernery with seating area, perfect for a summer's day. A charming family home, it's designed for entertaining with two lounge rooms, an al fresco built-in BBQ entertaining area and three decks that allow you to follow the sun, and ensure you'll always have the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the beautiful views out over the property.
The approach to the property is up a smart exposed concrete driveway, with a pathway through established plantings to the front deck and main entrance. The front door is framed by leadlight windows and leads into a wonderfully spacious living room with a family room beyond. With floor to ceiling windows throughout, fitted carpet and beautiful slate floors, the house has a lovely airy feel.
This well-designed home offers great versatility, with three of its bedrooms in a separate wing of the home that can be closed off. All bedrooms benefit from BIRs, one of the bedrooms divides into two rooms with the use of a sliding wall, and a fifth bedroom could be used as an office. Beyond the bedrooms there is internal access to the double garage, a family bathroom with bath and separate shower plus a spacious laundry room with excellent storage and access to a covered deck outside.
The master bedroom is beautifully positioned to take advantage of the views over the gardens, and has direct access out to a timber deck. It has a generous WIR and spacious en-suite bathroom with double vanity.
Off the living room, the family/dining room enjoys the warmth from a huge welcoming wood burner with stone hearth and stylish slate feature-wall behind. Step through glass double doors that lead to the delightful shaded rear deck with steps down to an entertainment area complete with fantastic in-built BBQ, which can be enjoyed year round. The large country style kitchen has a corner pantry, in-built Fisher & Paykel double oven, gas top and rangehood, plus Miele dishwasher and double sink looking out to the tremendous view.
The house benefits from ducted heating and cooling, ceiling fans, external sun blinds, 2 x 5,000L water tanks, drinkable fresh-water bore (scientifically tested), chook pen, wood shed, undercover carport for two cars, double garage with roller door adjoining the house, plus an additional double garage/workshop with concrete floor, power and two roller doors.
This incredible property offers a gorgeous rural lifestyle and is beautifully private, yet still near to town.
