In a sought-after location surrounded by convenient lifestyle amenities, this 4 bedroom home is a nature-lover's paradise. Renovated, updated and extended, the single-level house features 4 robed bedrooms, 2 contemporary bathrooms (main with a bath), separate living areas and a spectacular backyard garden overlooked by an impressive covered deck. Fusing perfectly with modern inclusions, many original period character features have remained, including sash windows and picture rails. The heart of the house is the gas-appointed kitchen with a dishwasher and moveable island bench on castors, bordered by a sunny formal lounge with an open fireplace and the impressive family/meals room with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors designed to embrace the gardens and invite the outdoors in. The big backyard is a native wonderland, with private garden spots for reflection, a fernery, bush trail and a plumbed workshop/Man Cave and a studio. The deck has been reinforced to accommodate a spa and further highlights include: gas ducted heating and evaporative cooling, skylights, surround sound speakers, a water tank, sun blinds and a double carport with an auto door. Off Hull Road, this gorgeous home is nestled between Croydon and Mooroolbark shops, restaurants, entertainment and stations, near reserves, buses and schools.
