20 Bates Avenue, Upper Ferntree Gully, Vic 3156

It's easy to see the appeal of this hill side location with its peaceful surrounds only pierced by the birds in the towering native trees and there is of course the proximity to the family playground that is Mt Dandenong. In the shadows of the mountain, this home maximises its view with an elevated position that gives it an imposing street presence. The steps take you to the raised viewing and entertaining deck that doubles as the entry where you find a vast lounge and dining area underlined by polished hardwood floors. The kitchen features timeless timber style and features an upright electric oven and dishwasher. There's also 3 spacious and robed bedrooms including the master suite with a walk in wardrobe and a renovated ensuite. You'll also find a downstairs family room that could double as a study, additional bedroom or home office and extras including ducted heating, an air conditioner, alarm, double carport and a multi-tiered backyard with covered patio. And finally, the location leaves you just minutes from buses and trains as well as several shopping areas.
