Beautifully designed for modern family living, this exceptional contemporary residence combines generous proportions, multiple living zones and effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining with one of Blackburn North's most private and picturesque north-facing backyard settings. Bathed in sunshine and enjoying a rare protected outlook across a neighbouring heritage property, the home offers an incredible sense of space, tranquillity and privacy that's increasingly difficult to find.
Positioned in a quiet, tightly held neighbourhood surrounded by owner-occupied homes, the property is a short stroll to buses, Slater Reserve, Koonung Creek Trail and Charlton Street Playground. Blackburn Square Shopping Centre, Blackburn Station, Koonung Reserve and the Eastern Freeway are all close by, while the home is zoned for both Old Orchard Primary School and Blackburn High School, with easy access to Whitefriars College, Our Lady of Sion College and a range of highly regarded independent schools.
Privately screened by established hedges, the home welcomes you through an inviting undercover entrance. From the moment you step inside, your eye is drawn through the hallway to the light-filled north-facing living area, where a magnificent century-old palm tree beyond the rear boundary creates a breathtaking focal point. Combined with the sparkling solar-heated pool and beautifully landscaped backyard, the outlook delivers an immediate sense of calm and space that makes this home truly memorable.
Stylish floating floors lead to a generous open-plan living and dining area, centred around a cosy wall-mounted gas log fireplace and filled with natural light. Large stacker doors open seamlessly onto the expansive undercover alfresco, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living and year-round entertaining.
Designed with families in mind, the kitchen and family room overlook the entire north-facing backyard, allowing parents to supervise children playing on the lawn or swimming in the solar-heated salt-chlorinated pool while preparing meals or entertaining guests. The expansive undercover alfresco and spacious poolside deck provide the perfect setting for summer barbecues, family celebrations or simply relaxing while enjoying the peaceful surrounds.
At the heart of the home, the contemporary kitchen showcases thick stone waterfall benchtops, a generous island breakfast bar, extensive soft-close cabinetry with deep drawers, a walk-in pantry and quality stainless steel appliances including an AEG dishwasher, a 900mm electric oven and a 900mm gas cooktop.
A dedicated home theatre complete with projector, screen and surround sound offers the flexibility of a formal lounge, teenage retreat or children's playroom. A separate light-filled study with full-height custom joinery provides an ideal work-from-home office, while either room could also serve as a fifth bedroom if required. The ground floor is completed by a stone-appointed powder room and a spacious laundry with excellent storage and direct outdoor access.
Positioned to capture elevated leafy views, the oversized master suite features luxurious sheer drapery, dual walk-in wardrobes and a spacious ensuite complete with a twin stone vanity, rainfall shower and separate toilet.
Upstairs, a generous third living area incorporates a large built-in desk, creating the ideal study zone or retreat for children and teenagers. Three additional spacious bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes and one with a walk-in wardrobe, are complemented by a contemporary family bathroom featuring a stone vanity, rainfall shower and indulgent deep soaking bath.
Additional features include dual-zone ducted refrigerated heating and cooling for year-round comfort, a Ring video doorbell, indoor security cameras, roller blinds with privacy sheers, under-stair storage, an oversized remote double garage with internal access and rear roller door to the backyard, plus a remote-controlled electric front gate providing added privacy, security and peace of mind.
