94 Donovans Road, Woodend North, Vic 3442

Behind a thick cypress hedge, this big, comfortable 4/5 bedroom house offers privacy and room to move.

The main part of the house is brick veneer. At the very heart is a lovely big timber kitchen with dishwasher, wall oven and skylights. Next to the kitchen is an open plan meals area and spacious family room. A terrific Regency wood fire sits in a nook with an eye-catching slate hearth and feature wall. Sliding doors open onto the verandah and garden.

The lounge has gas heating and bay windows looking out over the sheltered garden. There is a built in bar, and a formal dining room at the end, completing a very hospitable and spacious area.

The roomy master bedroom is at the front of the house, and has a WIR, ensuite and full height bay window. Heat from the wood fire in the living room is vented into this bedroom, and a parents’ retreat or study is accessed via bi-fold doors. There are two further bedrooms, both with BIRs in this main part of the house.

Accessed by an internal linking hallway is a separate wing. This area is quite private and would work very well as a granny flat or teenage pavilion as it has a bedroom with BIR, a WC and a very large games/living room. This is a lovely space, with a parquetry floor and glass sliding doors facing north to let in the sun and give direct access to an outdoor entertaining area.

The garden is very well-established and private. There are lots of sunny grassy spaces as well as shady retreats. Camellias and daphnes please the senses and fruit trees provide autumn harvests. A brick path leads to a sheltered outdoor entertaining area with an impressive brick barbeque. –

Bore water keeps the garden thriving, while three tanks - 2 x 7,000 gallons 1 x 5,000- catch and store rain water.

Attached to the house is a two car garage. There is an abundance of storage and work spaces on this property with a wood shed, a potting shed and carport/machinery shelter. In addition, there is a large three bay shed with 3 phase power and separate driveway entrance, perfect for trade use.

Other features include a pony paddock/day yard, chook run, large vegie garden, an aviary and a secure dog yard.

Through the beautiful Avenue of Honour and down a quiet road just to the north of Woodend town centre, this house makes the most of its location. With the Calder Freeway only a short drive away, it offers everything you could want from a country residence with all the amenities close by.
