Bold by Design. Private by Nature.
Some homes ask you to compromise. This one doesn't.
Set at the quiet end of a court, 4 Maple Court makes its statement from the street. Its crisp rendered forms, ribbon windows and slatted frontage are confidently modern without trying too hard. Step inside and the mood shifts. Light pours in from every direction, finishes are warm and tactile, and each space feels considered rather than decorated.
The front living room sets the tone. Stacked highlight windows frame the sky, soft wall-wash lighting glows against a hand-finished feature wall, and the room feels like a calm, separate retreat from the everyday. Its generous proportions and position near the front of the home also make it an easy fourth bedroom or guest suite, giving growing families or multigenerational buyers real flexibility.
Then the home opens up. A vast kitchen, dining and lounge zone stretches the full width of the house, built around a waterfall stone island that seats four and becomes the natural gathering point of every day. The cook gets a gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, a double sink, a glass display cabinet, wall-to-wall storage and a garden-view splashback, so even the washing up comes with a view.
French doors and wide sliders fold the living outward onto a pergola-covered deck. From there, a lush lawn runs to the boundary, wrapped in mature hedging so dense you'd forget you have neighbours. Summer barbecues, kids on the grass and Sunday coffee in dappled light all happen here, with almost no weekend maintenance.
Two generous ground-floor bedrooms share a family bathroom with a separate shower and bath. A glass-balustrade staircase, lit from above by a skylight, carries you up to the private master level, which reads more like a boutique hotel suite than a bedroom. A sculptural textured wall frames the bed, ribbon windows draw in the treetops, and a built-in robe and ensuite complete the space. Next door, a study works as a home office, nursery or quiet corner to think.
The practical side is just as well resolved. Panel heating runs throughout, with split-system air conditioning to the dining area and master. Timber-look floors flow through the living spaces, and plush carpet softens the bedrooms. A European laundry, linen press and under-stair store room keep the clutter out of sight, while a carport behind the secure gated frontage takes care of parking.
The location matches the home. Tucked into a quiet court away from through-traffic, it puts daily life within easy reach. Northland Shopping Centre is close by for everything from groceries to dining and cinemas. The Darebin Creek Trail and surrounding parklands are on hand for weekend walks and rides. Local schools, the Heidelberg and Austin hospital precinct, and La Trobe University are all a short drive away. Bus routes connect to nearby train stations on the Hurstbridge line, and easy access to Waterdale Road, Bell Street and the Ring Road means the city and beyond are never far away.
