40 Wellard Road, Box Hill South, Vic 3128

This may well be the greatest transformation since the ugly duckling turned into a beautiful swan. The original blonde brick home that is now finished in classic stucco, has been fully renovated across time by award winning company Fleetwood Building to become a modern masterpiece, with high quality inclusions and an immense WOW factor throughout.
Once entering the light-filled home through an oversized oak front door, you'll find your eyes drawn to a large window straight ahead. A 12 metre solar heated lap pool makes a stunning focal point for the rooms that wrap around it with floor to ceiling windows creating pleasing vistas. There are two distinct living areas; the first is an expansive living/dining room that features a wood fireplace with a floating concrete hearth and clever storage for firewood, home entertainment equipment, CDs and DVDs on either side, plus triple doors that open out onto a front patio that looks out across landscaped gardens. The second is an open plan family room with 4 metres approx. of solid built-in cabinets/drawers along one wall and access via floating corner bi-fold doors to the sensational outdoor entertainment zone. Adults will love being entertained poolside on the alfresco deck with a 4 metre umbrella for shade when needed, or in the private sauna that has an adjoining bathroom. Children will be occupied for hours on the timber playground that features a slide, fireman's pole, monkey bars and a purpose built rock climbing wall. Low maintenance Smartgrass surrounds the playground, and a second section has been customised to create a 3 hole putting green. The family room also adjoins the contemporary entertainer's kitchen complete with a large central island bench, stainless steel double oven and 900mm cooktop, Miele dishwasher and a custom rangehood atop eye-catching glass splashbacks. There is an abundance of storage space which continues into an extensive walk-in pantry. The generous accommodation continues with zoned sleeping quarters.
The front of the home boasts three robed bedrooms in an alcove to the left of the entry; these are serviced by a sizeable family bathroom with a deep bathtub, long vanity, frameless shower and floor to ceiling tiling. The master bedroom is at the rear of the home and offers its own access to the back garden, a generous walk-in robe and a modern ensuite with a walk-in shower and heated tiled floor. On the opposing side is the generous laundry with its own drying cabinet and a private study with external access. And just when you think you have seen it all, you'll find a set of steps that lead you to a surprising underground room; your own private cellar and tasting quarters awaits, custom built to hold 160 dozens in racks plus more in the extensive cabinetry.
With many additional features including stone bench tops to all kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and storage surfaces, 2 pack cabinets, a number of floor to ceiling cavity sliders for additional privacy, gas ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, an abundance of storage throughout, ducted vacuuming, zoned hot water including an endless system for the laundry and kitchen areas, external water tanks plus a 10,000 litre tank under the house that is hooked up to an irrigation system, sprinkler system, alarm, 1.5 car garage and 20 solar panels with a 5kw invertor system.
The impressive residence is well placed in a private location between two no-through roads; close to quality schools including the tightly held Mt Waverley Secondary College to which you are zoned, numerous bus routes, Box Hill Golf Course and sporting facilities, shopping and cafes/restaurants, plus walk to Deakin Uni and admire the greenery of parks and gardens along the way.
This property will remain in your mind long after you inspect it; don't let it be the one that got away.
