Set proudly in one of Darley's most sought after areas, this extraordinary property at 20 Manning Boulevard offers a rare and exciting opportunity to secure over 4,478m² of prime land in a location that perfectly balances serenity, convenience, and lifestyle. With impressive street appeal, a charming U-shaped driveway, and clear side access, this home makes a bold first impression that only gets better as you step inside.
The residence itself is a masterclass in both scale and character. Offering five spacious bedrooms, the home caters effortlessly to large or growing families. The master suite is privately zoned and includes a walk-in robe and ensuite, offering both comfort and functionality. The additional bedrooms are all well-proportioned, three of which feature built-in robes, and are serviced by a generously sized central bathroom, where a tranquil feature water fountain adds a touch of resort-inspired relaxation.
One of the true highlights of the home is its abundance of architectural charm. As you enter the formal living room, you're immediately struck by the warmth of the exposed brickwork, the cosy ambiance of the fireplace, and the statement built-in aquarium that adds a unique flair rarely seen in today's builds. The richness of the hardwood timber flooring underfoot and the grandeur of the high ceilings throughout enhance the sense of timeless elegance and space.
The central hub of the home is nothing short of spectacular. The vast open-plan living area is so expansive that it easily accommodates a built-in bar, a pool table, and an oversized lounge setup-ideal for both day-to-day living and weekend entertaining. From here, large windows and sliding doors frame stunning views of the Lerderderg State Forest, offering a true connection to nature while enjoying the comfort of home.
Adjacent to the main living zone, the open kitchen and meals area is perfectly suited for those who love to cook and entertain. With extensive bench and storage space, this kitchen invites everything from intimate family dinners to large-scale gatherings, all while overlooking the natural beauty of the backyard.
Step through the rear doors and be greeted by a decked verandah designed with entertaining in mind. Multiple outdoor living areas are thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the breathtaking outlook. Whether you're firing up the BBQ, using the pizza oven, serving drinks from the outdoor bar, or simply relaxing on the separate balcony retreat, this is a home that truly celebrates the outdoors and embraces the magic of the surrounding landscape.
Beneath the home lies an exceptional opportunity-a large, versatile space that can be transformed to suit your needs. Whether you envision a home cinema, gym, workshop, additional accommodation, or even internal access to the main residence (STCA), this area holds untapped potential for added value, lifestyle, or income generation. A secure storage room adds further practicality, ideal for valuable equipment, collections, or hobbies.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a large shed/workshop, undercover carport, and generous turning space for larger vehicles, made easily accessible thanks to the wide side access. The rear yard is cleverly divided into two separately fenced sections, allowing for endless possibilities including pet zones, garden beds, play areas, or future landscaping projects-all while enjoying the space and freedom of rural-style living just minutes from town.
This is a home that radiates personality, warmth, and grandeur-something rarely replicated in modern developments. The combination of high ceilings, solid hardwood flooring, architectural charm, and sheer size, both inside and out, makes this a truly unique offering in today's market.
