Breathtaking in its beauty, innovative in its contemporary design and excellent as a passive income earner or solution to your multi-generational living requirements, this intelligent single-level residence will enrich your family's life.

With a smart, self-contained studio with its own private access, large open-plan living and sleeping space, kitchenette with two-burner electric cooktop, split-system unit, warm timber floors, fully-tiled bathroom and strong contemporary appeal, it's the perfect place to keep your in-laws close at hand yet not quite underfoot. Its close proximity to the show-stopping entertainer's yard with a large decking area, built-in BBQ (with granite benchtops) and enclosed in-ground saltwater-chlorinated and solar-heated swimming pool and four-person spa also makes it an attractive B&B escape in the heart of Donvale.

Maximum and intelligent use of space is also a hallmark of the main residence, designed with a U-shaped configuration that embraces the central outdoor entertaining area whilst filtering abundant Northern light into the home.

The layout is subsequently zoned, with all bedrooms (Master with fully-tiled ensuite) occupying the eastern wing, which also houses an open study nook with built-in robes and a large family bathroom, crafted with a his and hers vanity, semi-frameless shower and bath.

The western side of the home is all about everyday family living, with an intimate lounge styled with a gas log fireplace to encourage casual conversations over coffee and a vast open-plan area designed to seamlessly interact - physically and visually - with the picturesque outdoors. Hello indoor-outdoor entertaining!

Large timber kitchen with glass splashback and stainless steel appliances (including Fisher and Paykel stainless steel dishwashing drawers) is well equipped to handle the demands of a growing household, while a remote lockup storage, ample off-street car accommodation, LED lighting, square-set high ceilings, polished timber floorboards, 3,000-litre water tank, 24 solar panels (5kW system), European laundry, gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling and electric underfloor heating to the family living completes the appeal of this exquisite residence.

Brilliantly located in a quiet tree-lined street within walking distance of Tunstall Square, Donvale Reserve, Tunstall Square Kindergarten and bus transportation and only a short distance to Donvale Primary School and the Eastern Freeway/Eastlink.
