18 Blackwood Drive, Wonga Park, Vic 3115

Secluded within picturesque gardens with tranquil rural outlooks across neighbouring pastures, this exquisite mud brick residence offers a peaceful countryside lifestyle less than ten minutes’ drive from Chirnside Park Shopping Centre. Set on a beautifully landscaped half-acre allotment and featuring three separate living areas for exceptional flexibility, the single-level home combines timeless character with elegant contemporary renovations.

Surrounded by rolling countryside yet in easy reach of everyday essentials, the home is positioned within walking distance of Blackwood Reserve and buses to Croydon Station and Chirnside Park Shopping Centre. Wonga Park Primary School, Wonga Park Reserve and Little Lofty Café are all moments away, with Yarra Valley Grammar, Luther College, Good Shepherd Primary School and McAdam Square Shopping Centre also just a short drive.

Framed by a charming wraparound bullnose veranda draped in wisteria, the home welcomes guests into an inviting formal living room with a cosy open fireplace. A second living area also includes an open fireplace and a soaring Velux skylight, ideal for use as a library, children’s play space, or impressive home office.

At the rear, an expansive open plan family room and dining area showcases stylish floating timber floors, a wood heater, and floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides capturing magnificent garden vistas. Sliding doors seamlessly extend the space to the patio and grapevine-draped veranda, overlooking lush rolling lawns and verdant gardens with idyllic views across the neighbouring farmland, where cattle graze peacefully beyond the boundary.

The gardens also include a spacious pergola and paved terrace, creating an inviting setting for relaxed alfresco entertaining amidst the picturesque surrounds.

Flooded with natural light from overhead skylights, the modern kitchen features gleaming waterfall benchtops, a large island breakfast bar, extensive cabinetry, and quality appliances including a Miele dishwasher, a stainless steel oven and a 900mm gas cooktop.

The spacious master bedroom includes two sets of built-in wardrobes and direct ensuite-effect access to a skylit contemporary bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiling, a hardwood vanity, a frameless glass rainfall shower, and a freestanding soaker bathtub.

Two additional bedrooms with built-in wardrobes are complemented by a fourth bedroom or study, alongside a second full bathroom and a well-appointed laundry with direct outdoor access.

Featuring a substantial solar panel system, split system air conditioning, panel heaters, ceiling fans, leadlight details and a security screen front door, the home also includes two large water tanks with a combined capacity of more than 10,000 litres, and an immense powered workshop plus an additional storage shed.
