27 Noonan Grove, Woodend, Vic 3442

Creative and skilled hands have brought this mature four bedroom plus study house into the 21st century with beauty and practicality. The expert touch of Hunter Lorencz has given the house and garden unsurpassed style and grace.

The floor plan is quite contemporary. A formal lounge is located at the front of the house, and has wonderful high cathedral ceilings with exposed beams. The predominantly white palette is a lovely foil for the golden tones of the polished floorboards. There is a wood fire and reverse cycle air-conditioner.

The pretty kitchen has white country-style cabinetry and a breakfast bar. There is a dishwasher, gas cooktop and electric oven, all in stainless steel. The bright open plan living room and meals area have big windows and sliding glass doors that open onto a deck.

With five bedrooms, there are many options. The master, with a smart modern colour scheme and window treatments, is at the front of the house. It has an ensuite and WIR. One bedroom is currently used as a study, and there is a bedroom located off the living area that could be used as a central home office. At the rear of the house are two further bedrooms, one with a split system a/c. All the bedrooms have been attractively decorated, and have polished floorboards.

Mains gas ducted heating has been installed throughout the house.

A terrific covered deck runs the entire length of the house. An elevated location gives the most divine views over nearby countryside and to the Wombat State Forest beyond.

The glorious garden measures a whopping ¾ of an acre, 3411sqm. Taking pride of place is a fabulous mod grass tennis court, with full fencing and lighting. The rest of the garden is by no means overshadowed by this wonderful asset. It has been beautifully landscaped, and has some fabulous mature shade trees, lush lawns, terraces and garden beds. Brick retaining walls curve in precise sweeps to meet up with formal steps. There is a sunny area with beds for vegies or herbs.

There is ample parking, with a big pergola/carport, and storage with a garden shed and a workshop with concrete floor and power.

Further enhancing the sense of privacy and tranquility is the location. At the end of a court, there is little traffic to disrupt the serenity, yet this fabulous home is less than I kilometre from the Woodend Railway Station and very close to the town centre. The Calder Freeway is a short drive to the south. It’s hard to believe that such serenity can exist in the heart of a thriving country town.

There’s a unique combination on offer here – spacious, elegant house, enormous, mature garden, a tennis court and a terrific location. What are you waiting for?
