Tucked within a peaceful court, steps from Yarra Valley Grammar and embraced by a beautifully established garden, this much-loved family home has been shaped over time with warmth, practicality and an obvious sense of care. Newly painted and wonderfully inviting, its versatile floorplan, generous living spaces and leafy outlooks create a home that feels connected to its garden at every turn, with rambling paths, quiet places to sit and greenery enjoyed as much from inside as out.
A welcoming lounge sits toward the front of the home, where a broad bay window draws the garden into the room and bamboo flooring adds natural warmth underfoot, while an adjoining dining provides a separate setting for more formal occasions.
Further inside, the kitchen has been thoughtfully upgraded, with stone benchtops that are paired with excellent storage and a suite of quality appliances including a Neff induction cooktop, Sirius rangehood, Asko dishwasher and an impressive combination of Asko ovens including microwave convection, steam and pyrolytic cooking. An adjacent meals area creates an easy gathering place, while clever integrated storage keeps the space streamlined and functional.
French doors extend the living space outdoors to a covered entertaining deck which is plumbed to natural gas and water, creating a natural transition into the garden beyond. Predominantly planted with natives, the grounds have been designed to be explored rather than simply admired, with winding paths, established greenery and secluded places to pause beneath the trees.
The accommodation is equally adaptable. A flexible fourth bedroom or study provides an ideal work-from-home space, while the remaining bedrooms are arranged privately upstairs. The master suite is especially inviting, capturing leafy treetop outlooks and incorporating a spacious parents retreat, walk-in robe, built-in robe and an ensuite finished with a stone-topped vanity and frameless shower. The main bathroom continues the same considered detailing with a bath, stone vanity and frameless shower.
Adding further flexibility, the lower level provides internal access from the double garage and incorporates a separate lounge, laundry and sliding doors opening to the garden, with convenient access to a nearby side gate. With its own split-system and excellent natural light, this area offers exciting potential to evolve into self-contained accommodation for teenagers, extended family or guests.
Further highlights include instant hot water, garden shed, multiple split systems, evaporative cooling, excellent off-street parking and space to accommodate a caravan, boat or trailer. Set within meters of Yarra Valley Grammar, Kalinda Primary and the locale café, you are also within moments of Luther College, Melbourne Rudolf Steiner School, McAdam Square, Burnt Bridge Shopping Centre, Melba College, Quambee Reserve, Eastland and Eastlink.
More than simply a well-maintained house, there is a genuine sense of affection woven through this home. Its warmth, flexible spaces and connection with the garden have created a setting designed to be lived in and enjoyed, offering the next family the opportunity to make it entirely their own.
