438A Springvale Road (Service Road), Forest Hill, Vic 3131

With its stately hedged entrance, earthy feature walls and palm-fringed courtyard, this near-new residence presents as an exotic retreat. Whisper quiet on the service road, a few steps from the bus stop to the station, this is a prime location that affords you both privacy and convenience. Set on a low-maintenance lot, its contemporary styling with Georgian accents is a polished affair with rendered pillars, Tasmanian Oak floors, and sparkling downlights. Downstairs, a 4th bedroom/study, laundry and powder room sit along the hallway, flowing through to a grand open plan living space with floor-to-ceiling windows to take in a relaxing, tropical garden. A hostess kitchen comes decked out in gorgeous charcoal porcelain tiles and a professional 90cm Technika oven. Designed for comfort and security with high ceilings, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ducted vacuum, security alarm, privacy shutters and a panel lift double remote garage with both internal and backyard access. With nearby bus, train and tram access, Eastern/Eastlink freeway access, Emmaus College and Forest Hill Chase, this is a versatile location for those looking for maximum lifestyle and minimum travel time. A compact block also promises less time pulling weeds, and more time enjoying the shops, restaurants, parkland, and public pool on your doorstep.
