Irresistible in every way, a growing family will be enamoured with this beautifully curated home. A deceptive showpiece, set back in its impressive established garden of crepe myrtles, weeping cherries and uniform box hedges, yet also a practical, inviting and private family residence with swimming pool and breathtaking views of the Dandenong Ranges.

Double hung windows and an intimate porch will immediately bring a sense of warmth as you enter this gorgeous dual level weatherboard home. Four bedrooms all with built-in robes, a study plus three bathrooms and a powder room enhance the layout. A generous guest suite with wainscoted walls is ready to welcome your next visitor, travelling through to a lavish master with triple sliding robes, balcony access for sunrise views over the Dandenongs and dual vanity ensuite with semi-frameless shower. A third sunny bedroom with ensuite occupies this level.

Entertaining is an absolute pleasure with formal lounge snuggled by an open fireplace, or spread out in the open plan family and dining room with modern feature wood fired heater. Merging with a Caesarstone kitchen with decorative pressed metal splashback, 900mm Baumatic freestanding oven and 5-burner gas cooktop, Asko dishwasher and butler’s pantry. Extending any daily ritual or occasion to a broad full length deck that boasts a spectacular postcard panorama of the Dandenong Ranges. Adults can keep a watchful eye over children in an inground solar heated pool, with second level of decking for serving pool side drinks and hosting parties.

The half-acre property is a wonderland for children and especially teens with a concreted basketball practice area and lush grass to kick the footy. A storage shed with dual roller doors provides an ideal area for a home gym space.
