Everyone dreams of owning a beautiful modern home that showcases the latest trends, appliances and technology and up-to-date modern finishes.
Well, take this agent's word for it, at the top of any must have list is the desire to own a home that positively changes the way you feel about your life and those you share it with.
As 3A Mitchell Street, with its classic, gable-roof weatherboard exterior, comes into view along your tree-lined avenue, the anticipation is palpable.
The richness and ornateness and elegance of this listing are truly inspiring.
Its sophisticated layers of detail are reflected in every element of its flawless presentation and elevate the home's chic spaces, which reach a crescendo, with its towering, 3.3m timber-lined ceilings.
Exquisitely prepared for market, step proudly from your timber deck verandah and into your light and airy entryway, including sumptuous hardwood timber flooring, which is used throughout the home's high-traffic areas.
To the right is a distinguished formal living room, including plantation shutters and fireplace mantel, and a smart-looking chandelier.
Straight ahead is a mudroom, with access to the oversized, double garage, while to the left is your palatial primary bedroom, including handsome walk-in robe, door access outside and a gracefully stylish, double-bowl vanity ensuite, with a walk-in shower and a separate bath.
The home's other bedrooms are all big and all come with built-in robes and are serviced by another fashionable family bathroom, including a walk-in shower, and a separate toilet.
There's also a study here, while the functional laundry is an exercise in good taste.
Next, is this home's mesmerising showpiece and its beating heart, your kitchen/living/dining zone, which is energized by the power of natural light that pours unabated through grand-designed windows.
Revel in the kitchen's crisp cabinetry, with soft-closing Blum hinges, smooth porcelain countertops and tiled splashback as well as its efficient storage systems, including a butler's pantry.
There's also a rich inventory of stainless-steel mod-cons and pendant lighting.
But outside is where this sale finds another level of excitement, if that was indeed possible, including an extraordinary entertainment complex.
The wide-open, polished concrete alfresco, with multiple seating options and remote-controlled blinds, is complemented by a striking open fireplace and a built-in barbecue, which overlooks your 8m x 4m mineral pool, with heat pump.
This pleasurable stage is encircled by well-groomed lawn and established gardens.
Other important features include ceiling fans, which are used throughout the residence, insulation in the walls and under the floor as well as ducted and zoned, central heating and refrigerated cooling plus an 8.8kW solar system.
Located in a prized, blue-ribbon locale, you are walking distance to the centre of town, Lake Benalla and lakeside walking trails as well as Benalla Art Gallery, FCJ College and St Joseph's Primary School.
