From the street it may look like a townhouse, but step inside and it feels every bit the size of a freestanding family residence. With superbly generous rooms, minimal upkeep, and zoning for McKinnon Primary and McKinnon Secondary College where kids can walk to both, it is an incredible find in one of the area's most sought-after pockets.
The wide hallway immediately signals quality, leading past a home office, a guest powder room and a laundry with excellent storage and access to under-stair storage and entry to the single remote garage. Along the way is a main bedroom of impressive proportions. With a walk-in dressing room tucked neatly behind the bed and a private ensuite with twin vanities, it offers parents their own retreat on the ground floor.
The rear of the home is where the whole household will naturally gravitate. The kitchen is designed with every culinary detail in mind, appointed with stone-topped benchtops, breakfast bar, wide Smeg oven, six-burner cooktop, dishwasher and a butler's pantry with even more storage. It flows into a dining and living room big enough for both daily life and serious entertaining. Slide open the glass doors and the party continues on a pergola-covered deck and a north-west facing garden that makes summer nights and weekend gatherings easy.
Upstairs is all about the kids. Three oversized bedrooms with mirrored robes give everyone their own space, while the open retreat becomes a hub for playtime, games and homework. There is plenty of room for desks, toys and friends to spread out. A family bathroom with bath and shower, plus a separate toilet, makes mornings and bedtime routines simple.
With individual split-system air conditioning, video entry and a lock-up garage, every detail is designed around modern living. Add McKinnon Reserve, the cafés and shops of Centre Road and Ormond Village, and North Road buses direct to Monash University, and you have the complete lifestyle package at an address families dream of.
