Lovingly maintained by one family since it was built, this architect-designed three bedroom plus study/fourth bedroom home makes clever use of its big block, with smart split-level design and sweeping neighbourhood views. Extending far beyond the façade on an allotment of approximately 738m2, it's a flowing family haven surrounded by productive gardens. Key spaces include a kitchen filled with Smeg cooking appliances and pale stone countertops, adjoining dining room and light-filled living room, leading to a balcony with serene views. A family room with study area provides more space to stretch out and accesses a generous paved outdoor entertaining area and gardens overflowing with citrus, avocados and olives. Generous bedrooms provide built-in robes/a walk-in robe, while three pristine bathrooms include an ensuite. Outstanding storage, a workshop, heating, cooling, automatic double garage and carport extend appeal. A stroll to Parkstone and Emil's cafes, transport, playgrounds at Mitchell and Shore reserves as well as Cross Keys sports grounds, Pascoe Vale South Primary, it's attractively zoned to Strathmore College.
