With an abundance of street appeal and endless practical features, this stunning home was custom designed by the current owner with a strong focus on space and stylish living for the growing family. The expansive residence delivers just that plus more. Perfect for entertaining, it is spread across 3 levels and you’ll be delighted by the size of the spaces and the quality of the inclusions throughout. The street level boasts a long entrance hall plus a generous open plan study/home office. There are dual living areas: a formal lounge area with a striking gas log fireplace and a stone surround creating a wonderful focal point within the inviting room; plus an extensive open plan area at the rear of the home. A glass door between the 2 areas, and the soundproofing insulation in the walls and ceilings of the home, allows multiple groups to entertain or relax independently of each other. The open plan zone creates a welcoming central hub where the family can interact together for a family meal in the dining area or in the extensive family room which is large enough for a generous seating area and a full sized pool table. The long island bench in the kitchen, backed with eye catching stacked stone and feature floor LED lighting, is also a great place for casual conversation or a meal on the run. It offers a Kleenmaid induction cooktop, complimented by a pyrolytic self-cleaning convection wall oven, a steam oven and dishwasher, glass feature cabinets, built in wine racks and a long highlight window to allow additional light to flow through the area. The adjoining laundry, with access to the garage, boasts a drying cupboard, a laundry shoot and a pleasing amount of storage cupboards and bench space. The second floor is full of natural light with the master bedroom immediately at the top of the generously proportioned timber staircase. It is the perfect parent retreat with dimmable lighting, sound proof walls and amazing views. A walk through the wardrobe/dressing room, and you’d be forgiven for thinking you just entered a day spa, as you are greeted with a luxurious ensuite featuring floor to ceiling tiles, frameless shower, timber vanity with twin glass bowls and Italian designer waterfall flick mix pourers. The 2 person corner spa bath, surrounded with stacked stone, invites you to soak away the day’s stresses while you enjoy a movie on the wall mounted television. There is an additional living area and 4 further robed bedrooms that are arguably the largest you will find in a build of this kind. They are serviced by another superb bathroom with a stone shower base and floor to ceiling feature tiles, an attractive vanity with stone benches and countertop basins and a deep spa bath. Equally as appealing is the marvellous outdoor area this family entertainer offers. A large alfresco deck offers breathtaking views across the Dandenongs and beyond. It is accessible through sliding doors and uses timber screens and attractive Colorbond fencing to ensure privacy is maintained. The fully landscaped gardens below, with established fruit trees and fish ponds, incorporate Smartgrass and a paved patio areas to keep gardening time on the weekend to a minimum. There are many additional features including a double lock up garage with internal access, a huge 9m x 3m “mens shed”, gym area, water tanks, double glazed windows, solar panels, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling and home security system. The location is also immensely pleasing, being zoned to the tightly held Vermont Secondary College, a short walk to buses and St James & Vermont Primary schools, only a short bus ride/drive to Mitcham station, many popular shopping precincts, Eastlink, popular parks, walking trails and reserves. Will you be the one relaxing in the tranquillity of this amazing home?
