18 Illawong Drive, Donvale, Vic 3111

Grand in design and stately in appearance, it's difficult to imagine a home that's better equipped to deliver that quintessential family lifestyle you crave. There's the in-ground swimming pool for summer, the large backyard for kids and the three separate living areas that flow across the expansive single-level layout. And, of course, there's the coveted setting amongst prestigious homes in one of Donvale's more desirable pockets.

Automatic front and side gates and security alarm promote a safe and secure aspect to this proud family residence, nestled on an acre corner allotment that's wonderfully dressed with landscaped gardens.

Inside, a magnificent arrangement of formal and communal living spaces speaks volumes of the home's practicality for everyday living. Furthermore, the successful separation between the spacious Master suite and children's quarters means the kids can occupy an entire section of the home without disturbing other members of the household.

Formal lounge and dining are nestled at the front of the home and cater for those occasions where a classy touch is required, while a secluded rumpus presents the ultimate games retreat for kids with enough room for a large billiard table and seated area for video games.

A purpose-built home theatre with surround sound transports Hollywood into your home every night of the week, and if you need to burn off those extra popcorn calories, enjoy a quick workout in the home gym after your movie marathon. Or you could just sweat it out in the private sauna!

Open-plan communal living occupies the heart of the single-level layout, blending family living, casual meals and a large kitchen as one. Walk-in pantry and lengthy benches provides the space every home cook desires, while the seamless integration between the family living and outdoor entertaining area is the stuff grand entertainers dream about.

An inviting fully-tiled swimming pool with gas heated spa is the star attraction of the large outdoor area, which also grants access to a huge grassed area at the top of the property that's destined to become a stage for epic backyard cricket contests or classic soccer matches.

Guest accommodation is perfect when the in-laws pop in for a weekend visit; gas ducted heating, refrigerated cooling and ducted vacuum, meanwhile, offers the best in modern comfort.

Conveniently located within moments of the Pines Shopping Centre, Tunstall Square shops, the Eastern Freeway, well-regarded schools and transportation.
