16 Glenister Drive, Eltham, Vic 3095

Experience a lifestyle of calm and quiet in comfortable surrounds with this bright and beautiful brick residence, which instantly relaxes the mind with its leafy treetop outlook and park-like gardens atop a landscaped elevated allotment. And given it's been thoughtfully renovated with a focus on energy efficiency, you get to benefit from the lower cost of living.

From the very outset, you can feel the love and care that's gone into this sun-kissed home from the current owners, with impressive gardens painting the front exterior in a picture-perfect light and extending that same courtesy in the carefully tended backyard, which is every bit the peaceful sanctuary.

Inspired by its scenic environment, the home blends polished timber floorboards with exposed brick highlights to produce a natural feel, and whilst all windows offer a relaxing garden view, all living areas integrate with the naturally beautiful outdoors to blur the lines between the split-level interior and exterior.

Accessed via Sion Close, a long inviting hallway with display shelving introduces a robed master bedroom and chic renovated bathroom (with a frameless walk-in shower) before arriving at the bright living area, where a dedicated study nook offers excellent work from home options and French doors connect the contemporary space with the inviting outdoor entertaining area.

A large, functional communal hub comprising a versatile carpeted living area (potential second bedroom), radiant dining area and sleek modern kitchen is a hive of activity given its central placement in the heart of the home, and when it's time to unwind, step out onto the wide front verandah and soak up nature's finest work.

13,000-litre total water tank storage (approx.) connected to the toilet and laundry, solar hot water and hydronic heating is proof of the home's 'green' credentials, while generous off-street parking is certain to add further delight.

Conveniently located within walking distance of Eltham Village Shopping Centre, Eltham Hotel, Eltham train station, bus services and scenic parkland and minutes to local schools and Montsalvat.
