Beyond the gums in front, this home has the most spectacular views right across to the Bay, City and to Mt Macedon. Purposely positioned and built to capture the endless snap shot, the owner builder made sure that the rooms that are lived in the most have full possession, including the formal lounge and dining room, kitchen and the family/meals zone; all with expansive windows and most with balcony access. Exquisite attention to detail was a leading force during the build some 18 years ago, sourcing local stone to form the lower level of the home as well as the grand open fire place, stunning Spotted Gum flooring which is complimented by the custom made vanity units in the bathrooms and for the kitchen cabinetry. Granite bench tops, ornate cornices, 9ft ceilings and quality double glazed Cedar (sash) double glazed windows add to the appeal. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 with access to bathrooms (including a spa en suite), 2 powder rooms, plenty of storage solutions throughout and a self-contained lower level that could easily accommodate guests or teens, with the inclusion of a private bathroom, living area with kitchenette and direct access to the gardens and to the double garage. The large laundry is also on the lower level. With well over 1/2 of an acre, there's a lot of room for play and entertaining outside, whilst providing a lot of off street parking areas. Fruit trees and a landscape that was designed to blend in with the environment create the perfect place for those who want a disconnection from city life, but must have easy access to schools, bus and train services and to shops and hospital facilities. Extras details include ducted heating, evaporative cooling, 8x10ft garden shed and a water tank.
