12 Old Beaconsfield Road, Emerald, Vic 3782

If you are looking for a great family home without sacrificing anything (location, convenience to amenities, commuting time to the CBD, space, quality), then look no further than this beautiful family home in Emerald. Emerald is not only located just 44kms south-east of Melbournes CBD but is a much sought after suburb to live in due to its beautiful village centre that has everything you could possibly need , including the iconic Puffing Billy and Emerald Lake. Set on approximately 2701m2, your privacy is paramount as this magnificent property is set well back off Old Beaconsfield Road. With 4 enormous bedrooms, it means that everyone can have their own space. The large elegant Master bedroom features his and hers walk in robes & an Ensuite that is more like a day spa- boasting a huge spa, overlooked by a private outdoor fernery with gorgeous garden views from your tub. The other 3 bedrooms & large family bathroom are at the rear of the home, meaning that the house lends itself well to zoned living- with plenty of space for the adults to entertain without disturbing the kids.
With a fully self contained separate unit located to the side of the main house (complete with its own parking area, own formal entrance, & private wrap around gated deck), you could even house the grandparents, give your teenager their own retreat, or use it as a source of income by renting it out. The unit has a huge bedroom with walk in robe (can easily be converted to 2 bedrooms if needed), a kitchen, a lounge, bathroom, and laundry.
The main house is accessed via its own front covered verandah, and overlooks a beautifully landscaped front yard, complete with lots of special areas to curl up under a tree with a book in summer or sit under a chestnut tree in autumn.
An elegant formal lounge leads off from the large front hallway, and boasts an open fireplace complete with a feature wall. This room leads on to a formal dining room that can be accessed from the kitchen. This Kitchen is huge: with an enormous breakfast bar, heaps of bench space, its own pot belly stove located near another (informal) dining area, loads of cupboards, and quality appliances (including a brand new dishwasher).
But if you think the entertaining stops there, think again. Opening off from the kitchen is a large open plan family room/study that then opens out via sliding doors to a massive undercover decked eating area complete with built in BBQ and a fireplace. The back yard is beautifully landscaped but leaves you with the potential to add a pool or hold a family football match- its that big! It boasts a veggie patch, established fruit trees, a childrens play area, a cubby house, utility area, and under house wine tasting room or storage area, and then some! In fact, you can drive your caravan, via a secure gated side access area, right round the back yard in order to load everything into it from the kitchen.
With ducted heating throughout, cooling, solar panels, a 3 car garage with separate entrances, & features too numerous to mention, inspection is a must. This magnificent home with its large yard is special enough BUT with the added benefit of the self contained unit it offers you the chance to either settle down with the entire family or supplement your income. This really is your lifestyle change.
