Some family homes are designed around a particular stage of life. This one is designed to accommodate all of them. Vast, wonderfully bright and exceptionally versatile, it delivers the space to spread out, entertain, work, play and come together β with a floorplan that can be opened up or closed off as life requires.
Set at the quiet end of the street, the home makes an immediate impression with its manicured gardens, established box hedging, magnolia and roses, wide veranda and beautifully detailed double leadlight front door. Beyond the tiled entrance, the scale of the home becomes apparent.
The formal lounge is sunken beneath an elegant light fitting, with engineered timber floors and a large north-facing bay window. Further windows connect it with the deck and garden, while the adjoining formal dining area is given its own personality with a feature wall.
From here, the home opens dramatically into the enormous casual living and entertaining precinct. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with a 900mm Smeg gas cooktop, Miele dishwasher, oven, huge pantry, abundant cabinetry and acres of bench space, all positioned to remain connected to the family living areas and garden beyond.
The family meals area and enormous family room form a wonderful everyday hub, with tiled floors, a wall of windows overlooking the immaculate rear garden and a wood heater creating warmth and atmosphere. Adjacent is a sunken rumpus room, currently set up as a billiard room, with plush carpet, a dedicated nook ready for a bar, corner window to the rear and further views towards the outdoor entertaining area.
The accommodation is equally generous. The main bedroom is a substantial private retreat, with plush carpet, sheer curtains, block-out blinds and two large double robes. Its beautifully appointed ensuite features a generous shower with a distinctive glass-brick wall, large designer vanity and separate toilet.
Three further bedrooms are all genuinely large, each with carpet, double blinds and triple robes. They share a wonderfully crisp family bathroom with full-size spa bath, generous shower and large vanity, plus a separate toilet.
A huge fitted laundry provides abundant storage and direct rear access, while extensive linen cupboards take care of the inevitable demands of a busy household.
Outside, the west-facing deck is made for entertaining. Vast, beautifully finished and overlooking the immaculate backyard, it incorporates a built-in shade umbrella and is ideal for everything from weekend lunches to children's birthday parties. Beyond, there is gorgeous lawn with room for backyard cricket and footy, immaculate garden beds, fruit trees and a basketball ring.
The garden is completely secure, making it an ideal environment for children and pets, while a huge garden shed and an enormous under-house storage area provide the kind of practical space that is increasingly hard to find.
For those who need serious vehicle accommodation, this property goes several steps further. A double garage, extensive off-street parking and two substantial secure parking areas β one accessed from the western side and the main entry from the north β provide an extraordinary amount of fully concreted space. With an electric gate and room for trailers, boats, caravans and work vehicles, it is a particularly compelling proposition for tradies, hobbyists or anyone with more than the average collection of wheels.
Comfort and security are comprehensively covered with gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, alarm, full CCTV and a host of thoughtful practical improvements.
Most importantly, the floorplan is wonderfully adaptable. Little kids can have their own space, teenagers can retreat to separate living zones, guests or extended family can be accommodated comfortably, and multiple generations can live together without feeling on top of one another. Doors can close areas down for privacy or open everything up when the occasion calls for it.
The location is equally practical, with St Helena Marketplace close by and easy access to Greensborough, Uni Hill Bundoora and Doncaster shopping precincts. A multitude of highly regarded schools are within easy reach, public transport is readily available, and connections to the Greensborough Bypass, M80 Ring Road and the soon to be built North East Link make getting around Melbourne remarkably straightforward.
This is a home built around real life β the noisy bits, the quiet bits, the entertaining, the working, the growing and everything in between. It offers the rare combination of impressive scale, exceptional flexibility, beautiful gardens and serious practical infrastructure.
For a family wanting room to grow, a multigenerational household seeking genuine separation, or anyone who needs a home that can work as hard as they do, this is an exceptionally compelling place to call home.
