10 O'Brien Court, Woodend, Vic 3442

This immaculate home, on a 1.156ha (nearing 3 acres), is the ultimate country lifestyle package.
The spacious entrance, with thick wool carpet underfoot, ceiling rose and decorative cornice, gives a taste of the style and quality that can be seen throughout the home.

From here, French doors lead into the formal lounge and dining room, where big windows look out to the lush garden and across the lawn to Mt Macedon. A cosy wood fire has a mantelpiece and surround in lovely dark timber. The living room and meals area are accessed through another set of French doors, giving the option of opening up the space if required. The bay windows match those of the master bedroom, and a pair of glass doors open onto the Northern terrace.

\Next to this is the wonderful bespoke kitchen. Only a few years old, it is a masterpiece of function and beauty, with vast amounts of storage and not a skerrick of wasted space. Modern laminates have been used to great advantage on the benches and splashbacks. The appliances are all European, and include an amazing Smeg pyrolitic oven, an induction cooktop and a Bosch dishwasher. There is a built in wine rack, stylish glazed overhead cabinets, an appliance cupboard and a big double pantry. Not a box left unticked!

The elegant master bedroom has three lovely bay windows that reach into the garden. The room is light filled and has impressive views. There is a terrific ensuite and a bank of big built in robes. There are two additional bedrooms, both of queen capacity, with generous built in robes. The family bathroom has a gorgeous timber vanity cabinet, bathtub and big shower.

A clever renovation and extension enabled the addition of a huge third living area. This area is now a rumpus room and has sliding glass doors that give access to the verandah and garden, making it perfect for entertaining and/or conversion to a huge office or fourth bedroom.
The deep verandah runs across the rear of the house, providing a sheltered vantage point for enjoying the garden. There is a paved and private sun-soaked terrace.

The house has electric slab heating in addition to the wood fire. It is on tank water and has 2 x 7,000 gallon tanks.

All the hard work has been done in the garden, and the fruits of the labour are everywhere. A mix of exotic and native trees gives year-round greenery and shelter, with expanses of sunny lawns. Extensive plantings of bulbs and flowering shrubs explode with spring colour. An impressive array of raised beds and a greenhouse make up a thriving and productive vegie garden that is enclosed by fencing.

There is a chook shed and a fenced dog run. At the rear of the property is a tranquil and beautiful area of the garden. The dam is deep and reliable, supplying the garden with water. It has a great jetty. The views from this location are particularly beautiful, making it a serene spot in which to sit and count
blessings.

Between Woodend township and Mt Macedon, this area is highly prized for its beauty, tranquillity and proximity to town services.
