Hidden away in a quiet court, this red-brick family home boasts an appealing French Provincial interior, a well-planned layout, a glorious garden and plenty of room for the whole family.
A paved pathway leads the way through a front garden brimming with colourful blooms and fruit trees that blossom in spring. Shutters and dormer windows set into the steep roof make this dwelling a picture-perfect replica of a traditional Cape Cod-style home, and also add interest and flair to the street appeal of this charming residence.
The entrance hall features leadlight side lights and offers a tantalising glimpse of the home’s rich colour palette. A timber staircase provides access to the sleeping quarters upstairs, and to your right you’ll find the generous formal living space with a deep bay window and glowing honey-coloured polished boards. Double doors open to reveal the central formal dining room and kitchen to the left. The kitchen features warm timber-paneling, a slate floor, stainless-steel appliances, wide benches and a large pantry. A spacious home office opens from this space, and, at the opposite end of the residence, a cosy family room with a radiant log fire and French windows onto the rear garden completes the floor plan.
Step out to find yourself in your own private sanctuary. The garden offers numerous tranquil spots in which to relax, paved pathways and beautifully landscaped garden beds. There’s also a spa pavilion and al fresco dining to make entertaining a breeze. In summer, the established trees create a leafy canopy that ensures there’s always a cool spot to sit with family and catch up on the day’s events. In winter, sunshine streams into the house, warming it from within.
Ascend the stairs to the stylish master bedroom with its large walk-in robe and en suite with spa bath. There are three more bedrooms on this level (two with built-in robes) and a practical family bathroom with a separate bath, shower and toilet.
Situated conveniently close to major arterials, yet tucked away from it all, this residence is also handy to the Dingley Village, close to primary schools and zoned for Cheltenham Secondary College and well serviced by public transport.
Additional features of this lovingly-maintained home include a quaint cubby and chicken coop at the bottom of the garden, data cabling, ducted heating (two individual units) and evaporative cooling, ducted vacuum, luxurious carpeting, a lock-up garage and plenty of storage.
