This beautifully presented 5 year-old sandstone block home is designed for entertaining with a fantastic open plan living area, leading to an al fresco covered BBQ entertaining area, with a fully open further courtyard allowing you to entertain year round whatever the weather. Close to national parks, bushwalks and riding trails, it’s a two-minute drive to the shops and cafes of Kinglake.
Reached via a quiet country lane, the approach to the property is through double gates with post and rail fence, into a wide gravelled driveway, with parking for multiple vehicles and lawn to either side. A drive through garage has a double roller door and is open to the rear, to access the shed. An arbour leads from the driveway onto the lawn, and flowerbeds, lined with bluestone, are planted with native plants that enjoy any run off from the water tanks’ overflow. Ferns, fruit trees, a ‘Sunburst’ protea and herbs create a pretty front garden, with a covered walk way around the house. The stylish wood/glass front door opens into a good size lobby, before opening into the main open plan living / dining area. With double glazed windows throughout, neutral décor, fitted carpets and white tiled floors, the house has a lovely airy feel.
This well-designed home offers great energy efficiency, with excellent insulation, Fanaway fans (retractable blades) and bedrooms that can be closed off from the living/entertaining area. The open plan lounge/dining room has stylish high windows, and a wood heater with stone feature wall behind. A state of the art kitchen has Caesarstone bench tops, breakfast bar/island bench, fantastic storage including pantry cupboard, Westinghouse double wall oven and gas cook top, beautiful black and white glass lights and triple glass sliding doors that open up into the covered al fresco entertaining area with spa.
A door separates the living area from the bedrooms, all of which benefit from triple BIRs, Fanaway fans, and good views, the good size master has a generous WIR plus en-suite shower room with walk-in-shower, and a fourth bedroom that could be used as an office/study. Beyond the bedrooms there is a light and bright family bathroom with bath and separate walk-in-shower, separate WC, triple linen closet, plus a spacious laundry room with excellent storage and access to outside.
Outside, the delightful shaded rear deck area has a brick BBQ chimney, raised garden beds with mature hydrangeas and daisies, bluestone and old brick retaining walls and granite stones lining the edge of the garden. The back yard is lawned with a brick paved area, garden shed on concrete floor with power and a brick path leading to a fantastic enclosed vegie garden with large raised beds and water access. A gate accesses a rear backyard with lemon and lime trees, and a garden shed/chook pen and open wood shed. A large machinery shed with two full-height sliding farm doors is on a concrete slab with power and plumbing for water; there’s even a fire pit to enjoy drinks around on a summer’s evening.
The house benefits from solar hot water, 18 solar panels for electricity and 77,000L of water in tanks.
