9 Powers Street, Donvale, Vic 3111

A new year signals the perfect time to start afresh, and therefore the ideal moment to upgrade your family into booming Manningham with this excellent family home.

Presented in pristine condition with abundant natural light, contemporary appeal and easy-care landscaped gardens, this impressive North-facing residence will also capture your attention with its seamless indoor-outdoor living, generous proportions and zoned accommodation.

A stunning entertainer's deck that looks across the supremely private backyard offers a glamorous platform to entertain any time of year, and when the sky is clear with stars sparkling above, the contemporary courtyard to the side is where you want to be.

Back inside, modern style and functionality extends to the quality kitchen, crafted with plenty of bench space, fantastic storage options and a 900mm ILVE stainless steel freestanding cooker with a stainless steel splashback. And with a Bosch stainless steel dishwasher on hand, the post-dinner clean-up is a breeze.

The front position of the L-shaped lounge/dining allows it to draw Northern light into the home, and while the vast wall space for a flat-screen TV means you can watch more flicks with the kids, odds are they'll be keen to let their imaginations run wild in the superb child-friendly backyard that's home to an in-ground trampoline, sand pit, flat lawn, mature trees and cubby house complete with a slide!

A children's accommodation wing comprising two spacious bedrooms and a fresh family bathroom is zoned in privacy away from the Master bedroom (with ensuite and walk-in robe), while a versatile study offers a practical fourth bedroom option.

This feature-packed residence also boasts warm contemporary flooring, ducted heating, ducted refrigerated air conditioning, updated energy-efficient LED lighting, large storage area under the deck (with shed), underhouse storage and security alarm.

Numerous schooling options within walking distance that include the highly regarded Our Lady of the Pines Primary School and Carey Baptist Grammar School means there's no need for a car to complete the morning school run, and with Donvale Christian College and Whitefriars College both only a short drive away and in the East Doncaster Secondary College zoning the location is second to none for the family with a focus on education.

The Pines Shopping Centre, bus services, Mullum Mullum Reserve and the Eastern Freeway are also only minutes away.
