Located at Drouin, this stunning property is 30 minutes from the south-eastern suburbs and just 60 minutes from the CBD. Set in beautifully landscaped, low-maintenance gardens on a private one acre block, it sits among delightful homes in Drouins most sought-after estate.

This colonial style brick home comprises 31 squares, plus 14 squares of verandahs and covered decks, a 9 square double garage and workshop, totalling 54 squares under the roofline. A separate brick, powered garage houses the garden machinery, and a 10 square enclosure is natures paradise for pets.

Inside, the home features 3 separate living areas, a spacious master bedroom suite as well as 2 further generously sized double bedrooms with large built in robes, a formal office, 2 full sized bathrooms and 3 toilets.

The large, ultra-modern hostess kitchen has loads of cupboards and pot drawers, and there is a huge laundry with heaps of storage.

Enjoy the morning winter sun in the light filled breakfast room while looking out over the beautiful garden and surrounding estate.

Wake to the sound of birds and views of the enchanting garden from the master bedroom suite which includes a dressing room, separate toilet, a full bathroom with large spa bath and a ceiling fan.

Snuggle up on the couch in winter in front of the very efficient gas log fire in the spacious formal lounge and dining room. Or have some fun in the huge rumpus room which is large enough for a billiard table, piano, fitted desks, a wall of bookcases and a wall of storage cupboards.

All rooms are generously sized, providing a wonderful sense of spaciousness.

Italian porcelain floor tiles feature throughout, with carpet in all bedrooms. The ducted vacuum system makes cleaning a breeze. The home also has excellent quality drapes and blockout blinds throughout. Ducted heating and cooling, verandahs and laminated windows keep this beautiful home comfortable all year round. A 25,000 litre rainwater tank is ample for both the house and garden, although mains water is also connected.

The 9 square rear alfresco deck is an entertainers dream, with natural gas barbecue and stunning views across the garden and surrounding countryside.

The beautiful garden features numerous mature fruit trees, colourful natives and many scented roses. The front garden features native shrubs and is a delight to view while enjoying a late afternoon glass of wine on the front deck. Enjoy wandering the orchard picking fresh berries and oranges for breakfast or luscious peaches, plums, nectarines and cherries for dessert. Or unleash your inner masterchef with the freshest herbs and vegetables from the vegie patch. Mature trees on the boundaries also provide screening and privacy.

The property is a tree-change dream: a magnificent home, delightful easy-care gardens and an acre of space for children, dogs and cats to run wild, yet the suburbs are just a short drive away.
