Experience the whisper-quiet tranquillity and natural beauty of a rural lifestyle 35 minutes (approx.) from Melbourne’s CBD with this peaceful, private and timeless weatherboard family home.

Beautifully sited on a scenic 3,088sqm (approx.) allotment among established leafy trees, it’s easy to forget that you’re only a short stroll from the heart of Park Orchards and its local shops and cafes on Park Road, The 100 Acres Reserve, Ringwood North Primary School, sporting facilities and Ringwood North Shopping Centre. And with elite private schools, Eastland Shopping Centre, transport and EastLink easily accessible, this bright and beautiful home makes perfect sense for the growing family desiring a tree-change with city lifestyle benefits.

Two levels of spacious and functional living define the meticulously presented interior, decorated internally with an elegant décor, polished timber floorboards and a stunning collection of paned windows and French doors that visually and physically integrate the home with its verdant surrounds. Furthermore, the presence of multiple living, dining and outdoor entertaining spaces, three large bathrooms, study and five robed bedrooms meets the demands of an active household.

Indoor-outdoor living is a design feature embraced by all living and dining areas downstairs, with French doors connecting the interior either with the front and north-facing rear decks, while a deluxe kitchen with excellent storage options, a 900mm stainless steel cooker and roomy benchtops exudes country charm.

Two two-bedroom, one-bathroom wings bookend the central retreat upstairs, creating the perfect living quarters for kids, while a downstairs master bedroom (with an oversized ensuite and direct access to the charming front verandah) delivers an abundance of privacy and peacefulness to parents.

Speaking of peacefulness, there’s plenty of that in the sprawling backyard, home to numerous vegetable gardens, established fruit trees, chicken coop and shed (with adjoining aviary and storage area). And with a quiet fire pit and separate pond area immersed in the fullness of the surrounding serenity, you can escape the daily grind and silence your mind with ease here.

Enjoying the comfort of ducted climate control, this family sanctuary of calm and quiet also features loads of storage space, double garage and plenty of extra off-street parking spaces.
