There's a lovely sense of space from the moment you step inside. A wide hallway, high ceilings and tiled floors draw you through to the open plan living and dining area, where the elevated outlook stretches across Sunbury towards Melbourne's skyline. Slide open the door to the balcony and there's room to set the table outside or simply take your coffee out and enjoy the view. Downstairs, a generous room with its own entry from the lower alfresco gives you the option of a home office well away from the main living area.
The kitchen sits alongside the dining area, with a generous stone waterfall island bench where family and friends can pull up a stool. Timber toned cabinetry and a softly textured tiled splashback bring warmth to the space, while a gas cooktop, stainless steel oven and dishwasher take care of the everyday. The walk in pantry has its own bench, overhead and under bench cupboards and a generous fridge cavity, leaving plenty of room for prep on the island.
If you work from home, the downstairs room has space for a substantial desk setup by the window and a lounge at the other end. The natural light and separation from the rest of the house make it somewhere you could comfortably spend the working day. There's enough room for work and family life to share the space, or you could make it a dedicated rumpus, a home gym or a retreat where teenagers can have friends over.
The room opens straight onto the lower alfresco, a shaded spot to take a break or sit while the kids play in the backyard. External stairs link it to the balcony above, giving you two outdoor areas to choose from when friends come over. A cellar off the rumpus provides extra storage.
At the front of the home, two windows give the main bedroom a garden outlook, and there's a walk-in robe and private ensuite with a rainfall shower. The other three bedrooms have mirrored built in robes, with the option to use the fourth as a study. The central bathroom has a separate bath and rainfall shower, handy for bath time or a quiet soak once the house settles.
Ducted heating and evaporative cooling provide year-round comfort, with roller blinds and downlights complementing the interiors. The separate laundry has linen storage and direct outdoor access. An exposed aggregate driveway leads to the remote double garage, which has internal entry and a door to the side of the home. Established planting frames the decked front porch, while artificial turf keeps the enclosed backyard easy to look after. A garden shed and a rainwater tank with pump complete the outdoor setup.
Pick up the groceries at Woolworths in Rosenthal, take the kids to one of the local parks or head to Langama Park for weekend sport. Nearby schooling options include Sunbury Heights Primary School, Sunbury Downs College, Holy Trinity Primary School and Salesian College. Guardian Childcare and Education and Bambini Early Learning Centre are also close by. Sunbury's town centre and train station are within easy reach, and with convenient access to the Calder Freeway, it's approximately 20 minutes to Melbourne Airport and 40 minutes to the CBD, depending on traffic.
Come through, take a moment on the balcony to enjoy the view and picture how this stunning quality home could work for you. Call Melinda Xiberras on 0400 461 631.
