An overarching plane tree-lined avenue by the Darebin Parklands creates a beautiful setting for this substantial 2-level residence where an outstanding architect design and Oregon-framed construction establish an enduring presence and long-term family appeal. Offered for the very first time, this light and airy solid brick home is meticulously maintained and immaculately presented for the next generation to make it their own with room to grow, play and entertain in a large landscaped rear garden. Soaring cedar ceilings, polished stone flooring, expansive glazing and exposed brickwork infuse warm natural character throughout an extensive and flexible interior introduced by a wide hallway and a feature 2-level void. A ground-floor study with a fitted desk can easily be configured as an additional bedroom complementing first-floor accommodation with a family bathroom and separate toilet that includes 2 great-sized bedrooms with built-in robes and a high-ceiling main bedroom featuring a walk-in robe and a spa-bath ensuite. Enhanced by central refrigerated heating/cooling, ceiling fans and ducted vacuum, this incredibly comfortable and inviting home's focus on family extends from a light-filled lounge room to an open-plan living and dining room (gas log fireplace) adjoining a spacious kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and a bay window outlook over the rear garden. There's also an additional bathroom plus a full laundry at ground-level, while the attractive backyard with an alfresco terrace (gas-plumbed BeefEater BBQ and a hotplate), undercover veranda and loads of landscaped children-friendly space is secure, secluded and basking in sunshine. Other features include security doors, a rainwater tank and an internal remote-control double garage with a storeroom. Exceptional in its quality, space and family credentials, this impressively composed sanctuary is perfectly located within a short, easy walk to parklands, playground, trails, Alphington train station and the farmers market, while also nearby to primary and grammar schools, Fairfield Village shopping and the freeway
