12 Verdale Close, Mitcham, Vic 3132

With Heatherdale Reserve virtually at your doorstep, Rangeview Primary School just a few short steps away and a peaceful top of the court location amongst tightly-held quality homes, why would you want to raise the kids anywhere else? Built with 100-year-old Hawthorne brick cladding, this individual Darrington-designed, contemporary style home delivers everything you could possibly want in a family home.

There are two living areas, which promote an indoor-outdoor approach to everyday life whilst integrating visually and physically with the scenic surrounds. There's the generous collection of 4 spacious bedrooms (Master with two-way ensuite), all of which benefit from intelligent zoning. Talk about the quintessential family home! With winter just around the corner, there's no better way of keeping warm and snug than by rugging up in front of the wood combustion fireplace in the sizeable lounge, which extends onto a peaceful courtyard. And if you love to entertain, you'll appreciate the effortless union between the light and bright open-plan setting (family living, meals area plus well-appointed Blackwood timber kitchen with modern appliances) and covered outdoor area set amongst picture-perfect landscaped gardens.

Then there's the large, grassed backyard that's home to an assortment of birdlife and an inviting in-ground swimming pool, which is solar heated and saltwater chlorinated. Dressed with floating timber floorboards underfoot and exposed Oregon beams/pine ceilings above, this excellent family home also boasts split-system cooling, gas wall furnace in the family room, fully powered Colorbond garage and double carport on a private and tranquil 834sqm (approx.) allotment. Completing the appeal of this rare opportunity in the Vermont Secondary College zone is the walking distance access to Heatherdale train station and bus services plus fantastic access to the Eastern Freeway/Eastlink, Eastland Shopping Centre, Brentford Square Shopping Centre and Forest Hill Chase.
