Set away from the street, access via an internal driveway reveals a private retreat that can only be described as "stunning". Situated only a few minutes out of Lilydale, on just over four acres, this property offers a beautiful family home with all of the desired comforts and inclusions. 

Stepping onto the full-length wraparound verandah, the quality of this home becomes evident the moment you enter. At its heart lies the open-plan kitchen, living, and dining areas, seamlessly connecting to the extended, covered deck and alfresco space through elegant French doors.

The European farmhouse-style kitchen combines country charm and modern functionality, featuring ample storage, stone benchtops, and premium Ilve Italian appliances, including a six-burner gas cooktop. From the kitchen sink you will enjoy breathtaking views of the dam and the expansive surrounding grounds. 

Vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of space and openness, while full-length French doors offer seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. Adjoining the open-plan living area, one of the four bedrooms is currently set up as a study but can easily be converted back to its original purpose. 

The master bedroom is generously sized, featuring an expansive walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite with dual sinks, a heated towel rail, and underfloor heating. French doors provide direct access to the covered verandah, allowing you to step out each morning and take in the stunning scenery and views. 

The two additional bedrooms are generously sized and include built-in storage. The home also provides ample storage solutions, featuring multiple linen and broom cupboards for added convenience. Heated and cooled via a reverse cycle heat pump, wood heating and nobo wall heaters within the bedrooms, as well as full insulation, this property is kept cosy throughout all seasons. 

The central bathroom features a walk-in shower, a bathtub, a separate toilet, heated towel rails, and underfloor heating for added comfort. Adjacent to the bathroom, the laundry offers ample storage, space for a side-by-side washer and dryer, and direct external access. 

Polished Sydney Gum flooring, specially sourced for this home, flows seamlessly through every room and adds both warmth and continuity. Constructed in 2008, the home's design reflects considered planning and craftsmanship, the result is one that is both timeless and of high quality. 

Under the home, you'll find undercover parking for two vehicles, along with a workbench and extra storage space. Several additional outbuildings offer ample room for storing garden tools and other belongings. 

Externally, the expansive grounds are meticulously maintained. An enclosed vegetable and fruit garden, protected by animal-proof electric fencing, features a variety of fruit trees, including cherry, plum, apple, pear, apricot, peach, nectarine, olive, lemon, and more. 

One of the most distinctive and sought-after features of this property is the tree-lined dam at the bottom of the site, home to a family of platypus that can often be spotted from the comfort of the home. The rest of the land is adorned with a variety of ornamental trees and shrubs, thoughtfully landscaped to highlight the natural beauty of this exceptional location.

This property also offers a range of convenient additions, including a 5.2kW solar system, a professionally installed signal booster, and Starlink internet. Additional amenities include electric perimeter fencing, a 92,000-litre rainwater tank and a Biolytix waste system.
