2/20 Lara Place, Patterson Lakes, Vic 3197

Taking in sweeping panoramas from its privileged river-edge position, this exceptional family-sized offering is perfect for anyone chasing a relaxed nature-focused lifestyle.

At the low-traffic end of a desirable cul-de-sac and instantly impressive thanks to its contemporary façade, the home opens to interiors that are ready to be enjoyed. With the luxury of living areas both upstairs and down, among its many highlights are two ground-floor bedrooms and a main bathroom - each bedroom with mirrored robes - along with an upper-level master suite with walk-in robe, ensuite bathroom and a private suntrap terrace.

The downstairs living area spills outside to a surprisingly generous yet easy-to-maintain garden with gated access to riverside walking trails. Upstairs, the open plan living/dining zone and smartly-appointed gourmet kitchen (900mm freestanding oven) create a space you will love spending time in while you soak up your enviable surroundings. Here, a fabulous entertainer's balcony looks out to a magnificent Canary Islands Date Palm while taking in never-to-be-built-out river views.

Additional standout features include a guest powder room, dedicated study area, split systems in all principal rooms and full laundry with direct access to the double auto garage.

Families love this part of the world, and it is easy to see why. With river water-sports and walking paths readily at hand for endless enjoyment, highly-regarded schooling options, bus stops & shopping destinations within reach and beautiful beaches all just minutes away - there really is no better place to call home.
