20 Bourneville Avenue, Brighton East, Vic 3187

And what a home it is! The wonderful openness, amazing spaces, a crisp white dcor, high ceilings and doorways, a cascade of natural light and such details as the open staircase, sculptural wall cutouts, and large areas of glazing to capture the Northern light make this home highly desirable.

The flowing floor plan, the excellent accommodation, the easy living comfort, and the entertaining options make this an exceptional family home.

The formal lounge room is a pleasant retreat with surround sound. The study, guest room or 5th bedroom has a high quality double inner spring pull-down bed (just like you see in the movies) and inbuilt storage, with a full bathroom downstairs for convenience. The informal living room (with surround sound, cable TV wiring, and gas fittings ready for future installation of a gas log fire) is an exciting open area where northern light floods through double height windows to the dining section (sunny in winter, shady in summer). No expense has been spared in creating a kitchen that would make anyone a great chef. Theres even a Miele coffee maker, Ilve Stove and walk in pantry.

Bi-fold doors from the family room open out to the large undercover deck with built in speakers where alfresco entertaining is a delight rain or shine. If you like entertaining then you will enjoy this easy indoor outdoor flow. Safety glass fencing surrounds the solar-heated inground salt-chlorinated pool and theres space for children to play on the lawn with the family dog. (Pool users have direct access to the shower off the laundry without going through the house.)

Galley-style windows feature upstairs where theres an open study area, 4 bedrooms (BIRs) plus family bathroom (spa bath) and separate toilet. The master bedroom suite is the perfect retreat for parents. It has its own balcony, a hideaway bank of fitted BIRs and a brilliantly designed ensuite layout.

As for those extras the long list includes double garage with direct house entry, security alarm, downstairs powder room, quality window furnishings, computer network cabling, ducted heating and evaporative cooling, audio throughout

The location is the clincher: DENDY PARK AT THE END OF THE STREET, for the active person wishing to jog around the park, a leisurely stroll or playing with the children or the dog, this is the place to be. The home is also handy to private schools, Brighton Secondary College, the golf course, and its not far to Hampton Street shops or the beach.
