15 Carmella Close, Chirnside Park, Vic 3116

Here's an exceptional opportunity to settle in a family-friendly neighbourhood with access to all that the Yarra Valley can provide. Suited to a single professional, young family, investor or downsizer who enjoys the outdoors, this 11-year old Highview Homes 'Seachange' style home may be just up your alley. The warm welcome of the houses' butter-cream coloured exterior sets the tone for the rest of the property which fits neatly into the landscape at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

The family room/meals area is finished with a spotted gum timber floor, a free-standing wood-heater which gives it a cosy warmth in winter, high ceilings (9') plus ceiling fans and reverse cycle air conditioning for the hot summer days. The external door from the family room opens onto the verandah which wraps around much of the house.

The bright modern kitchen features a walk-in pantry, breakfast bar and plenty of bench space. The living room has windows onto the verandah on two sides with a recessed bay window between them and two traditional ceiling roses. All the main living areas have a northerly aspect and look out onto an attractive garden including several productive fruit trees. There are views beyond to paddocks and the distant hills. Additionally, all the main living areas have radiators - Scandinavian LVI Thermosoft heating system, which is environmentally friendly.

The bedrooms all benefit from built-in-robes with a walk-in robe for the master which also has an ensuite, ceiling fan and a door onto the verandah. The third bedroom can also be used as a study and has the added feature of a spotted gum timber floor.

There is a family/guest bathroom with bath, walk-in shower and heated towel rail and a separate toilet next door. The laundry opens into the utility area where the key features include a 2500 litre rainwater tank and pump, a removable netted and gated pet enclosure and a double lock up garage.

Chirnside Park shopping centre, schools and child care centres are just down the road, local bus stops are only a short walk away with connections to metro train services while there is a short drive to Eastland, Eastlink and the Eastern Freeway.
