5654 Calder Highway, Big Hill, Vic 3555

Expansive seventies style domain with great visual impact meets modern day expectations with great success. Beautifully buffeted from the outside world behind a deep front garden, it was designed to take advantage of the sloping block.
Not only big on the inside, the property sits on approximately 4532 square metres (over an acre) in a neighbourhood of grand houses with natural bushland and Big Hill Primary School alongside. It is a two-minute drive to Lansell Plaza shopping and a one-hour drive from Calder Park for Melbourne commuters.
Built over multiple levels, the home has a character all of its own and ample room for a large family with five bedrooms (all with robes), two bathrooms, two spacious living areas, light-filled kitchen and dining area and extensive outdoor living areas.
The front entry makes an impact with original hardwood staircase rising to the upper level while the lounge room showcases original vertical board feature wall, built-in cabinetry, polished hardwood floors and access to a large deck overlooking the front garden.
Updated kitchen includes stainless steel double oven, gas cooktop, dishwasher, appliance cupboard, twin pantries and a study nook cleverly concealed behind louvre doors off the dining area.
The main suite incorporating ensuite and big walk-in robe is privately positioned on the lower level beside the second living room with remaining bedrooms, family bathroom and powder room all opening off a central landing.
The large laundry includes a second toilet and storage options have been tucked into every available space.
Ducted gas heating, three split system units and a sold fuel heater ensures the internal climate is always comfortable while big picture windows provide all rooms with tranquil garden views.
Outside, family fun is assured with a large covered alfresco area beside a large pool and a children's area complete with elevated cubby house and play equipment.
15,000 litres of rainwater storage with pumps help with garden watering while a 6mt x 9mt workshop with front roller door and carport take care of vehicles.
If your family has an allure for open spaces and natural surroundings, this hillside sanctuary will not disappoint.
*Property fronts the Calder Highway but access is off Gee Street on LHS.
