17 Lara Court, Mount Evelyn, Vic 3796

Start your day with a walk along the Aqueduct Trail into the village for coffee and end it watching the western sky blaze over Christmas Hills as city lights begin to flicker on in the distance. Tucked in a quiet court with the reserve as your neighbour, this substantial one-owner home offers a scale and flexibility increasingly hard to find - six bedrooms, three bathrooms and three separate living zones spread across two generous levels, all set on more than a 1/4 acre. Whether your household includes growing children, teenagers, grandparents, guests, or simply a family that loves having room to breathe, the floorplan adapts with ease - peaceful, private, yet wonderfully connected.

Inside, multiple living zones give everyone room to spread out or congregate. On the ground floor, the main open-plan domain brings together family living, meals and a beautifully renovated kitchen with stone benchtops, brand-new double ovens, gas cooking, Bosch dishwasher and a breakfast bar. Clever built-in storage has been worked into almost every available nook, making the home feel as practical as it is spacious.

A second living room can be closed away entirely, making it ideal as a kids’ rumpus, games room or sleepover zone when the volume rises. With two separate entrances, there is also scope to convert it into two additional bedrooms if required. A ground-floor bedroom with wall-to-wall robes and nearby bathroom further enhance the home’s multi-generational appeal.

Upstairs, five bedrooms gather around a cosy third living area that feels like a true retreat. Several bedrooms capture beautiful west-facing light and views, while the substantial main suite includes a walk-in robe and renovated ensuite and plenty of space for a sofa or desk. The pristine family bathroom, which has also been updated, completes this level.

Outside, a covered patio provides the perfect place to fire up the barbecue and watch the sky change colour, while the tiered backyard offers ample lawn for pets and play, a veggie patch and plenty of room to simply enjoy the outlook.

Parking and storage are equally impressive, with an oversized double garage, attached workshop with hand basin, single carport, garden shed and abundant off-street parking for a caravan, boat or multiple vehicles.

Recent upgrades include a five-star gas ducted heating system only two months old, a three-year-old gas hot water service and refreshed roofing, while two 3,000-litre water tanks with an electric pump assist with garden care.

With underground services, excellent school access, two train stations within around ten minutes and the old-fashioned community vibe of Mount Evelyn Village close by, this is a substantial family home with room to evolve and a setting that keeps rewarding you every evening.
