Peaceful, private and completely freestanding, this surprisingly large family residence exceeds expectations by offering 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a north-facing flow that introduces both wonderful warmth in winter and an all-weather alfresco lifestyle. Intelligently designed at the rear of a block of just 2, the home is a whisper-quiet sanctuary, offering remarkable family privacy, all in a coveted leafy pocket near local cafes, parkland, schools and plenty of transport options.
Upon entry, the home instantly engages with an uplifting sense of light and proportion that flows to an open-plan rear that is both stunningly scaled and designed to offer a clear zoning that perfectly suits family life. Anchored by a kitchen where gleaming stone benches include a huge 5-seater island and are complemented by a large walk-in pantry, the open plan is a freewheeling family heartland with an entertainers' edge.
Clear dining and living zones are effortlessly connected, while a semi-attached family room is large enough to accommodate a vast open study / workspace that is incredibly useful for daily family life. Guests can step outside to an undercover deck that faces north and overlooks a secure backyard that is scaled for family and pet enjoyment but remains easy to maintain perfect for large and small get-togethers with children running around at your feet.
At the front of the home, a separate lounge room presents an important alternative living area, well removed from the open-plan and appointed with attractive plantation shutters.
The primary bedroom offers impressively scaled parental accommodation with walk-in robes and its own ensuite, whilst each of the remaining bedrooms is also appointed with built-in robes two further enhanced by external blinds to shield the brightest of summer evening sun.
Further highlights of this immaculate family abode include the convenience of an internally accessed double lock-up garage, a central bathroom with an independent bathtub and separate wc and an externally-accessed laundry, as well as plantation shutters, reverse cycle heating and air conditioning.
This is a prized family pocket zoned for Glen Huntly Primary School, Glen Eira College and within walking distance of Kilvington, close also to parkland that includes E. E. Gunn Reserve and Packer Park, some great local cafes and shops on North Road, more shopping on Glen Huntly Road, while sporting amenities at GESAC and Carnegie Pool are also nearby and the home's lifestyle appeal is further enhanced by access to trains from Ormond Railway Station, local buses and Glen Huntly Road trams.
