Enjoying an elevated position on over an acre of established gardens, this 5 bedroom home offers a privileged family lifestyle that is often sought, yet seldom found in such a central location.
Full-height windows and doors maximize the home's northern orientation and elevated position, filling it with abundant natural sunlight. Clerestory windows embrace the southerly aspect, accentuating the Merchant Builder characteristics of vaulted, timber-lined ceilings with exposed beams, double brick walls and large rooms. The vendors have completed stunning renovations, whilst retaining the home's original architecture and appeal, which includes external access from the north-facing living areas and bedrooms.
The spacious and flowing floorplan was designed for families, offering 3 living zones inside and gardens boasting separate outdoor entertaining areas, an in-ground solar-heated saltwater pool, floodlit mod-grass tennis court, a fire pit and a deck overlooking a neighbourhood park and playground.
The master bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite enjoys privacy at the home's entrance, adjoining a study that is a perfect 5th bedroom, study or nursery. A children's wing at the rear comprises 3 robed bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and desks (2 with external pool access), an elegant fully-renovated bathroom with terrazzo tiles and a versatile rumpus room.
Sophisticated formal lounge and dining rooms are divided by a brick open fireplace and a gourmet kitchen and meals area is the hub of the home, spilling outside to both covered and al fresco dining areas and the pool. The renovated kitchen is graced with stone waterfall benches, soft-close drawers and the finest-quality European appliances (Miele cooktop, integrated dishwasher and refrigerator, Neff stainless steel double oven and a Bosch microwave).
Further inclusions: powder room, gas/hydronic underfloor heating, 2 split systems, OFP, ducted vacuum, sheds and a triple carport.
Amongst an elite enclave of acre properties with immediate access to reserves, Ruffey Lake Creek and bicycle tracks, this lifestyle feels a million miles away from its wonderfully convenient location which is surrounded by schools, shopping and buses, whilst being conveniently close to Aquarena, Ruffey Lake Park and Westfield Doncaster.
