$990,000 - $1,080,000
At the end of a quiet no-through road, where kids still play out front and neighbours stop for a chat, this fully renovated Mount Evelyn home sits within the kind of close-knit pocket where community still matters. Set on an elevated 1,661m² approx. allotment just footsteps from the Aqueduct Trail, it has been thoughtfully reimagined across three levels to suit the way family life actually unfolds: together when you want to be, separate when you need to be.
The entry level sets the tone with a warm living room beneath soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows and a wood heater that turns winter evenings into something worth staying home for. Also on this level, a bedroom with its own entrance creates brilliant flexibility for teenagers, guests, a home office or even a small business set-up.
Upstairs, three robed bedrooms include a generous main suite with a private balcony, twin built-in robes concealed behind statement barn doors and a dedicated TV niche. The sumptuous family bathroom turns everyday routines into something far more indulgent, with a deep soaker tub and swivel tap positioned to take in the treetop outlook. Settle in with a favourite drink resting in the recessed niche and let the view do the rest. Fully tiled and beautifully finished, the room also features timber-look floor tiles, a luxe rain shower and a dramatic skylight that pours natural light from above.
Down a level, the home opens into its most social space. The family and meals zone gathers around a beautiful custom designed kitchen with timber benchtops, floating shelves, waterfall island, electric cooking and a black stone sink with Zip instant boiling/cold water tap. This is where the day tends to converge, from quick breakfasts to homework, grazing platters and a proper roast on Sundays.
From here, doors spill onto a spectacular all-weather deck that wraps around the home overlooking the layered garden below. Two firepit zones, a chicken house, fruit trees and generous stretches of lawn create a backyard made for muddy feet, late evenings under the stars and outdoor childhoods. Wildlife is part of the rhythm too, with wombats, echidnas, owls and king parrots regular visitors.
Thoughtful design has been cleverly woven through the lower level, with a wall of storage, under-stair solutions and even a dedicated spot for the robot vacuum. The laundry and fully tiled second bathroom can be concealed when not needed, then opened up as a mudroom-style entry so muddy kids can head straight to the shower before they make it any further. Maximising storage and bench space, and with a French door to the outdoors, this is where practicality reigns supreme.
A powered shed/workshop, double carport, side driveway with rear access, trailer and caravan storage, ample additional under-verandah storage space, two rainwater tanks, ducted heating, split-system air conditioning and bedroom fans complete a home that is polished without being precious, spacious without feeling formal, and beautifully suited to real family life.
