Basketballs bouncing long after dinner, caravans packed for the next adventure, and a backyard so vast it seems to invite bigger dreams. Set on a magnificent 2,694m² (approx.) in Lilydale's prized Edinburgh Road pocket, this much-loved family home delivers the increasingly rare combination of substantial proportions, exceptional land and exciting future possibilities.
Beyond a welcoming driveway lined with camellias and rhododendrons, the home unfolds across two generous levels. Immaculately maintained and freshly refreshed with new carpet and paint, it offers immediate comfort while leaving plenty of opportunity to add your own contemporary touch over time. The solid 1970s bones are evident throughout, creating a home that's built to last and ready to evolve alongside the next family.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the layout caters beautifully to large families and multi-generational living. The main level is where everyday life naturally gathers, with a spacious L-shaped lounge and dining flowing through to the retro kitchen and meals area, where a crackling Coonara creates the perfect backdrop for winter evenings. From the kitchen window, you can watch the kids shooting hoops or racing across the backyard while dinner bubbles away on the stove.
Four bedrooms, a family bathroom and an open study/office occupy the main level, including a generous main suite with triple robes and ensuite featuring a corner spa. Downstairs offers another layer of versatility with a fifth bedroom or rumpus, laundry and separate entrance, making it ideal for independent teenagers, extended family, guest accommodation or even a home business.
Step outside and the home truly comes into its own. A covered north-facing deck overlooks a backyard of extraordinary proportions, where an epic half-court basketball court, fruit trees and endless lawn provide the setting for endless childhood adventures, milestone celebrations and fun-filled weekends. Whether your vision includes a swimming pool, tennis court, granny flat or the ultimate shed (STCA), there's room here to bring it to life. Even better, approved plans and permits are already in place until October 2030 (subject to extension and council approval) for a substantial extension, pool, alfresco, decking and shed.
Complete with a double garage, tandem carport, under-house workshop, storage room and abundant parking for caravans, boats and trailers, this is a property that grows with your ambitions just as effortlessly as it grows with your family.
