10 Counithan Place, Lysterfield, Vic 3156

Take time to stop and smell the roses - and the myriad of other beautiful plants - that sets this home apart from the ordinary. Gardenias, azaleas, roses, weeping cherries, birds of paradise, box hedge and plenty of other varieties adorn the verdant surroundings that have to be seen to be believed.
Lovingly built and tended by one owner for 13 years, this home is ready for a new family to enjoy.
Beautifully set up to enjoy outdoor living, the house is just as compelling in winter, with every room offering stunning garden views through the numerous picture windows.
Set on 1355 sq m at the end of a quiet court in the prestigious Carrington Estate and surrounded by impressive homes, it is guaranteed to take your breath away the moment you enter.
The living spaces are generous, with a sizeable lounge and formal dining area at the front of the house.
There are three bedrooms and a study, including a master with walk-in wardrobe, make-up area and ensuite with twin vanities, a shower and a spa bath. Two other bedrooms both have built-in robes. Two steps lead to the kitchen, meals area and family room, where again the focus is the stunning garden.
The timber kitchen offers plenty of benchspace and state-of-the-art stainless-steel Miele appliances including oven & steamer oven.
Sliding doors lead from the family room to the alfresco area that has a rain-sensing Vergola and cafe blinds to keep you protected from the elements.
You can imagine spending summers lazing by the salt-chlorinated heated inground pool and spa, where shade sails provide shelter from the harsh sun. And with a pool house with small kitchen and bathroom, you can see why the owners call it their resort. A barbecue gazebo is ideal for summer dining.
The stunning garden is not just just for show, with fruit trees (mandarin, plum, grapefruit and orange) and a number of raised vegetable garden beds that Jamie Oliver would be proud of. Three water tanks offering almost 40,000-litres of storage keep the garden in pristine condition, and automated sprinklers make the task easier.
Other features include ducted heating, ducted vacuum, evaporative cooling and solar gas hot water and an 8 panel solar electricity system.
