Perhaps it's the double front doors which open to a wide foyer and the stairs leading to the upper level that create an immediate impression that this is a 4 bedroom family home built to generous proportions. The formal sitting room just off the foyer appears to confirm this given its size and the study/home office next to it is far from being a design afterthought while the formal dining room is light and bright with views of the 100 year old gum in the wetland reserve next door. However, what really makes a statement is the vast expanse of the open plan family living area that incorporates the kitchen, an adjacent casual dining area and a huge family room with its sliding doors which open to a paved and shady alfresco that also provides access to the solar heated, salt/chlorine/underfloor cleaning pool. Plentiful bench and storage space feature in the kitchen where a Technika 5 burner stove with oversize oven takes centre stage along with a Simpson Ezi dishwasher and tiled splashback. Pull all the elements of these areas together, both indoors and out, and you have the ideal environment for year-round entertaining.
Taking the stairs to the upper level reveals a surprise with another generously proportioned living space, ideal as a TV/games room, as well as the 4 bedrooms including the not-surprisingly large master suite with walk-in robe and dual vanity bathroom with spa bath and shower, while two of the other three robed bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. Complements by a range of features including ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ducted vacuum, solar electricity, powder room, security alarm, timber blinds, security doors, two garden sheds, low maintenance gardens, and a double auto garage with rear roller door and direct access to the house.
With neighbours on one side and wetland reserve on the other, this property is situated close to Parade College and to Plenty Road and the no. 86 tram to RMIT Bundoora, Latrobe University and Melbourne's CBD as well as Bundoora Square retail precinct with its cafes, specialty shops and supermarket. Minutes from access points to the Metropolitan Ring Road.
