9 Chaim Court, Donvale, Vic 3111

Atop a hill, opposite parklands and occupying over an acre (approx.) of absolute bush privacy this 4 bedroom house feels a world away from its remarkably convenient location. The elevated brick veneer residence boasts a single-storey layout that is perfect for family living and entertaining, with potential to work from home or accommodate in-laws.

In one wing, the 4 bedrooms with built-in robes and garden views share 2 bathrooms, including the master bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite. The home's central living and family rooms feature vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, illuminated by north-facing clerestory windows, complementing separate dining and meals areas. The skylit kitchen is loaded with storage, adjoins a butler's pantry and features a dishwasher, gas cooktop and a triple wall oven.

A rumpus room with a powder room, bar and independent entry may appeal as a base for a home business, or suit transformation into in-law accommodation. The highlight of the north-facing backyard is a solar-heated in-ground pool which is bordered by a paved outdoor entertaining area, while low-maintenance front gardens offer native trees and meandering paths.

Further inclusions: gas ducted heating, reverse cycle split system, automatic entry gates and an extra-tall double garage. Nearby walking tracks access the EastLink trail and this court-located home is within easy reach of buses, EastLink and Eastland. Close to government schools, this elite abode is also 5-10 minutes' drive from exclusive private schools including Whitefriars College, Yarra Valley Grammar
Luther College and Rudolf Steiner School.
