What's around 49 Heads Rd

Peaceful, Private & Perfectly located luxurious one acre family retreat

Capturing the true essence of a peaceful rural lifestyle, this five bedroom home is a private family oasis built on the foundations of leisure and entertainment, while conveniently positioned just 25kms from the CBD. Nestled on approximately one acre, the home is framed by leafy gums and pines with the Mullum Mullum Creek trickling past in the background, filling every room with absolute tranquillity. An abundance of spacious living and recreation rooms bolster the easy lifestyle, each oriented to absorb the leafy scenery, and sympathetically styled with contemporary stone and timber elements to match external environs. Formal lounge and dining, and open plan living rooms are cosied by the warmth of two open fireplaces, incorporating a vogue granite kitchen to the open plan zone that is spaciously designed and fully-appointed to cater for large gatherings. An adjacent billiards room is fitted with a wet bar and built-in classic Rancilio commercial coffee machine. A feeling of awe will strike you as you enter the immense alfresco room, flanked by 3.5 meter tall towering glass walls with glazed stacker doors, seamlessly merging indoor entertaining with outdoor enjoyment. Both the formal lounge and alfresco room are fitted with projector shelves, ready for home theatre, providing Sonos wiring to the alfresco room for a full cinema experience. The sprawling outdoor entertainment zone is reminiscent of a luxury hotel bordering the western edge of the home, accessible to the formal lounge/theatre room and alfresco room, providing resort-like indoor-outdoor entertaining. Finished in stylish sandstone paving and timber decking, with copious alfresco dining and Sonos zoned external audio, it incorporates an in-ground pool and separate enormous in-ground spa, overlooking a spectacular mod-grass tennis court with the creek beyond. A sparkling bathroom and large sauna extend the summer fun, accessed via the alfresco room. The property is bounded by the new Mullum Mullum boardwalk path via a private gate, providing access to Melbourne’s network of walking and cycling tracks. Two sleeping wings segregate parents and kids, with a master bedroom lavishly appointed with a large fitted walk-in robe and an ensuite featuring twin basins, double sized shower and freestanding luxury bath, absorbing exquisite leafy views and providing pool-side access. Four further bedrooms of excellent size share a modern family bathroom, including a basement bedroom, which may act as a multi-purpose gym, office or play room. Complete with ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ducted vacuum, security alarm, attic-ladder storage, double garage and room for over 10 off-street parking spaces. This all-inclusive family sanctuary is conveniently positioned just 4kms from Eastland Shopping Centre, and the new Mitcham train station with nearby buses at Park Road and minutes from the Eastern Freeway, with plenty of elite education options including Whitefriars College, Yarra Valley Grammar, Donvale Christian College, and Carey Grammar.

Glen is the only real estate Unicorn!

Glen Coutinho is a rare mythical beast that people tell stories of having seen in the moonlight of a clearing in the forest in the middle of the night just as the clouds parted and a glint of his comforting eyes flash across the trees as he broadens his smile and lures you in to a place where all your wildest dreams become realty reality. Glen is real, honest and delivers 100% of the time. He is an exceptional father to his children, partner to Simone, mentor to his team, Sage to his industry peers and friend to all. He has an amazing mind and heart and has never forgotten anything we have spoken about over the 30 years, 5 houses, two marriages and four children I have had. He sold my first home and has sold every one since with record breaking results including most recently selling our Heads Road Donvale family home whilst we lived in Scotland a house made infomous during the settlement period for the home invasion by the "Goldilocks Burgular". Glen's charisma, skills, ethics, and his unmatched character places him very squarely in the centre pages of the mythical creatures annals. I am blessed to have met him and honoured to recommend him.
