THE DEAL

An entertainer’s single-level dream, this completely turnkey prize brings Californian charm into the modern day, blending stand-out space and flawless function in a lifestyle locale that’s among Melbourne’s most beloved.

With the home’s security fences and distant setback meaning every moment is private and peaceful, inspired interiors strike the perfect balance between classic and contemporary. A garden-viewing front guest room and master with a chic ensuite are complemented by large bedrooms three and four, while a shower, soaker bath, and separate powder room all enhance a luxe central bathroom.

With a steel-frame glass door separating accommodation from main spaces, a feature gas fire is superb for cosy winter nights, while bi-fold doors reveal a wrap-around alfresco brilliant for blue-sky barbecues and drinks on a summer evening. Total privacy, all-day rays, and both gas and solar-heating make a north-facing pool retreat a delight in all seasons, while stone benches, an Asko dishwasher, and gas-top cooker ensure a gourmet kitchen can comfortably cater for any gathering.

A secure double carport makes clever use of side and back street and lane frontages, while a long list of further highlights includes era-typical details in fretwork, cornices, and leadlight windows, extensive walk-in/built-in robe storage, zoned heating/cooling, engineered oak floors, plantation shutters, a full-size laundry, video intercom, shed, and front yard ideal for kids to run around.

In the heart of Moonee Valley’s private school belt, it’s only moments to PEGS, Lowther Hall, St Columba’s, Ave Maria, and St Bernard’s, along with city trains and trams, Riverside Golf Club, Essendon’s countless attractions, vibrant Union Road, and theshopping, dining, and nightlife spanning Puckle, Young, and Hall Streets.

SEALS THE DEAL

All seconds away, tennis, bowls, football, cricket, and rowing clubs introduce the spectacular Maribyrnong River with its pop-up coffee, juice, and food spots, stunning nature scenery, and leisure trails for sunrise jogs, sunset strolls, and Sunday bike rides.
