Flanked by palms, the entrance to this luxurious, light-filled home immediately impresses with views of the palm fringed pool and thatched roof cabana as if welcoming you to the tropics! Spread over two levels and designed with entertaining in mind this gorgeous home has a very relaxed and organic feel throughout due to the use of stone and timber and the way it zones living and dining on the entry level and bedrooms on the level above all surrounded by lush tropical greenery. The entry level comprises two living/dining rooms separated by the entrance void, one a more formal room ideal for dinner parties, the other is the more casual family living room where a large sliding door opens onto a paved alfresco that joins with extensive decking surrounding the pool. Incorporated into this living area is a family dining space also with a sliding door to the outside which is adjacent to the superb kitchen with its broad, stone, waterfall-edged island bench/breakfast bar, St George 5 burner stove and oversized oven, Asko dishwasher, custom slump glass splashback and generous storage. Taking the stairs to the upper level reveals a bridge above the entrance void which separates the master bedroom/retreat comprising generous study/home office, the bedroom itself with lounge area, fitted walk-in robe and fully tiled, dual vanity bathroom from the 3 further double bedrooms all with built-in robes which share a family bathroom with shower and bath. There's more of course, apart from the garden greenery which seems to appear in every window, including a powder room on the lower level and a range of features such as ducted heating and refrigerated cooling, ducted vacuum, alarm, quality fixtures and fittings, polished spotted gum flooring and the laundry which opens onto a utility area with a garden shed and 30,000 litre water tank. This area can also be accessed via the rear roller door of the 3 car garage. This highly appealing home is ideally situated close to parkland and just minutes away from Charles Latrobe P-12 College, Springthorpe Country Club, Latrobe University, Macleod train station and Aberdeen Road shopping precinct.
