This stunning home combines a variety of materials, colours and textures, creating an enticing façade that will have you captivated from the onset.

Entering the home you'll appreciate details such as high ceilings, deep cornices, skirtings and architraves, plus highly polished spotted gum floorboards that will catch your eye.
On the lower level there is a full master suite; a generous bedroom with a bank of hidden wardrobes is supported by a luxurious ensuite. The long wall hung vanity offers stone bench tops and modern basins with a feature tile splashback; these continue in the two-person shower.
There is a dining room that lends itself perfectly to large dinner parties or events; 8 x 16 bottle wine fridges are featured across two sections of the built-in bar with stone benches, mirrored splashbacks plus one has overhead cabinets to store the necessary glassware. This room flows through to an open plan living zone that adjoins a breathtaking entertainer's kitchen. Picture 60mm stone bench tops atop an expansive island bench with waterfall sides creating a casual meals zone and a place that family and friends can talk to you whilst you're preparing food using your stainless steel Bosch appliances; there are two ovens, a steam oven, a microwave and a 5 burner cooktop. A Fisher and Paykel 2 drawer dishwasher will help with the cleaning at the end of a big night, as will your attractive designer sink made from reconstituted granite. The biggest talking point however with be your extra-large splashback that captures views of the beautiful Melbourne skyline; it provides not only a stylish feature but it's guaranteed to entertain your guests as they stand and search for familiar buildings and landmarks.
Outside, the entertaining continues on a large covered alfresco deck with a built-in BBQ, attractively surrounded by fully landscaped gardens and Colorbond fencing.

The location is highly sought after; zoned to the tightly held Box Hill High School, walking distance to Laburnum train station and local buses, close to major shopping precincts, parkland and reserves.
Picture yourself living amongst all that is offered here and make your inspection a priority; you won't regret it.
