There are some homes that stick in your mind long after you inspect them; this stunning residence is one of them. Offering a seamless fusion of traditional weatherboard charm and sophisticated contemporary design, you'll be continuously impressed by the level of detail that has been paid to quality, style and space.
Large bluestone pavers lead you through established gardens to a feature front door. Once inside your eyes will be drawn to the dramatic dark bamboo floorboards and the high ceilings which offer a mix of decorative and square set cornicing. To the right of the entry you'll find a generous bedroom with an abundance of well-designed floor to ceiling cupboard space, and access to an inviting private garden area with a timber deck and established gardens; this creates beautiful vistas and provides a space to enjoy a quiet breakfast or a morning coffee in your own peaceful haven.
To the left of the entry is another spacious bedroom, also with floor to ceiling robes, plush carpets and quality window furnishings. From here you have two choices; turning left will take you to a light filled hallway that leads to the third and fourth bedrooms of this striking home. One offers floor to ceiling robes whilst the other has a large walk-in robe that adjoins a private ensuite; imagine matt white tiles with contrast matt black fixtures and fittings, a wall hung vanity with a sleek concrete countertop, concealed cistern toilet, walk-in shower behind a frameless glass panel and eye catching feature floor tiles. The main bathroom is also in this section of the home; it reflects the same contemporary styling as the ensuite, however here the shower is over a deep freestanding bath, the perfect place to relax at days end.
The hallway houses a bank of cupboards which form a cleverly placed linen press and European laundry ensuring clever use of all available space.
At the rear of the residence you'll discover a light filled zone that showcases open plan living at its finest. The custom built kitchen is a showpiece with an array of extra high storage cupboards, stone bench tops and contemporary appliances including a wall oven, gas cooktop and a fully integrated dishwasher. The adjoining dining and family zone offers French doors that open out to an extensive alfresco deck, allowing a seamless transition between indoor/outdoor living and providing an exceptional space to entertain family and friends. The addition of tall screening trees and modern timber screens ensures your privacy is maintained.
This fabulous property also offers gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling and a single secure carport and off street parking for two cars.
The location is exceptional; on a corner block in a highly sought pocket of Blackburn South where greenery is prevalent and birdlife comes to visit from the nearby Blackburn Lake. You are walking distance to Forest Hill Chase, Blackburn South shopping centre, local buses, Blackburn railway station, popular schools and a variety of parks and reserves.
This truly is a property where meticulous consideration has been applied to the finest of detail; take the first step to making it yours and inspect now.
