3 Homebush Drive, Junortoun, Vic 3551

THIS address appropriately sums up the location. A beautiful Queenslander-style family home set on approximately six hectares(15 acres) of landscaped gardens and natural bush, and which, according to the owner, "is a magic place." A tree-lined driveway leads up to the gracious home with its verandas front and back.
There is plenty of room for vehicles including a three-car shed with concrete floor and power and a two-vehicle carport. Inside natural light fills the house and large windows open to garden views just about everywhere. Formal and relaxed open living and meals areas are at the centre of the home with bedrooms at either end, while ducted gas heating, evaporative cooling and a Coonara heater make life sweet.
Polished floorboards, quality carpets and neutral colours enhance the effect.
Crisp white cupboards and granite-look benchtops surround a stainless steel Blanco electric oven and a walk-in pantry in the relaxed neutrally painted kitchen. The main bedroom has French doors opening onto the veranda; there's also a very large, walk-in wardrobe here and a bright three-piece en suite with extra-large shower, vanity and toilet.
Bedrooms two, three and four all have built-in wardrobes and a three-piece modern bathroom with a powder room adjoining, services these. Storage is generous throughout.
An English-style garden, protected by hedges and flowering vines is a tranquil and private space at the back of the house and a walk through a wisteria-clad pergola takes you out into a meadow-like space.
Bio-cycle waste management waters the gardens and two rainwater tanks hold a combined 44,000litres. Down one side of the property, a creek lazily meanders through, adding a special finishing touch to an idyllic setting. In spite of all this you are only ten minutes from the CBD and near all the facilities.
