Cherished by the same family for 14 years, this striking Kilsyth home has been the backdrop to birthdays, barbecues and the everyday rhythm of family life, and it's easy to see why they've stayed so long. A quiet court setting, rendered facade and beautiful landscaped gardens graced by sea lavender and magnolias make a memorable first impression, while a clever split-level design, two living zones and storage on a scale rarely seen create a home that works every bit as hard as it welcomes.
Just inside the entrance, an L-shaped lounge and dining room offers valuable separation space for hosting guests, movie marathons or family dinners that stretch well into the night.
At the heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen, meals and family zone is where daily life naturally gathers. The kitchen is both stylish and hardworking, finished with stone waterfall benchtops and a glass splashback, and equipped with a 900mm gas cooktop, 900mm electric oven, dishwasher and breakfast bar for quick breakfasts and homework chats. A servery opens straight to the backyard, while the outlook across the lawn and entertaining area means you can keep an eye on the kids or stay part of the conversation while you cook. In the family room, a built-in entertainment unit and a full wall of storage keep everyday clutter neatly out of sight.
From the meals area, step out to a covered, pitched-roof deck overlooking the lush backyard. It's a superb setting for entertaining, from weekend barbecues and milestone birthdays to relaxed sundowners with friends, and with the kitchen servery right at hand, hosting has never been easier. Beyond, an exposed aggregate court with a basketball hoop awaits budding hoopsters, a cubby house sparks young imaginations, and a flourishing lemon tree stands ready for impromptu gin and tonics.
All four bedrooms are positioned together on the upper level, keeping sleeping quarters peacefully separate from the living areas below. The main bedroom enjoys a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the remaining three robed bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.
Storage is where this home truly sets itself apart. Built-in storage lines seemingly every wall, nook and cranny with an oversized double garage at the entrance and an additional storage room added to the side providing even more space for seasonal decorations, bikes, camping gear, tools, keepsakes and everything in between. Evaporative cooling, ducted heating and ceiling fans keep the home comfortable through every season, while security cameras at the front add welcome peace of mind.
Set in a family-friendly Kilsyth pocket at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, the home is well placed for everyday convenience and weekend adventure. Gladesville Primary, Montrose Primary, St Richard’s Primary and Billanook College are all within easy reach, along with Churinga Shopping Centre, Montrose Village and the cafés, dining and retail of Croydon Main Street. Buses, train connections and EastLink keep commuting straightforward, while the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley are close enough to make walking trails, village cafés, wineries, restaurants and spontaneous Sunday drives part of the lifestyle.
