"What you love about the property" (vendor perspective)
We have loved the lifestyle this home provides, from the light-filled living spaces to the seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas.
The kitchen has been the heart of the home, while the deck and alfresco have been perfect for family gatherings and celebrations. The expansive grounds have given us plenty of space for the kids to play, enjoy the basketball ring and make the most of the outdoors, while the separate garage/studio has provided endless flexibility.
We've loved the raised vegetable beds, the opportunity to grow seasonal produce, the garden lighting in the evenings and gathering around the firepit on cooler nights.
With Woodend's village and cafés and local creek trails within walking distance, we have been able to enjoy the convenience and community of the township alongside the privacy and space of our own beautiful garden. It's a home that offers space, comfort and functionality in a wonderful setting.
