104 Charles Road, Lilydale, Vic 3140

Set high on the hill to take in the superb bush views this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom timber home is set on a huge 2006 square metre block and has been cleverly designed to work with the fall of the land to create zoned family living while extensive decking on 3 sides makes this an ideal home for those who like to entertain.

The lower half of the house comprises the living spaces all of which have a wall of windows to make the most of the view. The formal living and dining space includes a recessed bar and features a wood fired space heater for winter warmth and ambience as well as split system air conditioning and ceiling fan for summer comfort. A wall separates this formal zone from the kitchen and informal living/family room with the kitchen featuring Robinhood appliances, good bench space including breakfast bar and ample storage. This area also has split system air conditioning and a ceiling fan, while both the formal and informal living areas have direct access to the front deck via sliding doors. The family size laundry with direct external access is just off the informal living space.

The upper half of this home is given over to the bedrooms which are cleverly configured to create separate parents and kids zones via their own entrances off the living spaces. At one end the master with its ensuite bathroom, full height built-in robes and ceiling fan, at the other the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms with built-in robes and in the middle, further separating adults and children, is another living space which could be a TV/media lounge, games room or kids retreat. Also within this zone is the tiled family bathroom.

Features include ducted heating, polished flooring, exposed timber beams, security doors, double carport with space for one other car, garden shed, under house storage and retaining walls and terraced gardens. In the zone for Montrose Primary School the property is only minutes away from Lilydale for shopping or to head out into the Yarra Valley and also allows easy access to the Mt Dandenong Tourist Road with its array of tea rooms, cafes, antique shops and all the natural attractions of the Dandenong Ranges.
