There is a lovely sense of discovery to this established family home. Wood panelling, cathedral ceilings, a big backyard and a separate studio/rumpus gives it texture, warmth and a generous floorplan with options for growing households.
Set on approximately 948sqm, the home opens to a tiled foyer and into an L-shaped lounge and dining room that rises to the rafters as wide windows draw in natural light and garden views. Across the entry, the family room forms a second living zone, giving the interior a natural separation between quieter moments, shared meals and daily routines. Between them, the refurbished, skylit kitchen is designed for a busy household with a 90cm oven, five-burner gas cooktop, dishwasher, good storage and a clear line to both.
Off the hallway is a robed bedroom, a further bedroom or home office with a built-in corner desk, a store room with ample shelving, a bathroom with a spa bath to soak in after a long day, a separate toilet, and a laundry. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, the main with an ensuite, walk-in dressing room and a wet bar.
The versatile rumpus room rewrites how the home can be used. With its own split-system air conditioning, it can become a work-from-home base, man cave, creative studio, teenage retreat, music room, games room or gym. It also has its own private access past the garage making it ideal for a home business or a possible conversion into a self-contained unit (STCA). The backyard runs deep with a herb garden, multiple fruit trees, a 3000Ltr rainwater tank, compost bays and plenty of room for the kids, pets and green thumbs.
Fresh paint and new carpet give the interiors a ready-to-live-in ambience, while ducted heating and cooling, a separate wall air conditioner in the living room, warm timber detail and a character-filled staircase add comfort and personality. The double garage has internal and rear access, accompanied by an oversized carport and additional driveway parking.
The children can walk to Manchester Primary being only 30 meters away and Mooroolbark College under a kilometer, both within zone. Wandana Way Reserve is moments away, with the Brushy Creek Trail, buses and the corner milk bar close by. The rebuilt Mooroolbark Station on the Lilydale line, Brice Avenue's shops, cafes and Coles, Maroondah Village and Chirnside Park are all within reach, and Yarra Valley wineries make a tempting weekend detour.
