Locking in extra space need not mean a move the country with the amount of room on offer at this sprawling Waurn Ponds property. The builder's own country-style, six-bedroom home in the tightly-held Grange Park Estate is just moments from Waurn Ponds station, the ring road and shops yet feels more like a lifestyle acreage package.
The 2067sqm block is perfectly set up for tradies or business owners with garaging for 10 cars, plus additional secure off-street parking for caravans, boats and trailers. But it's not all work and no play at this family-friendly address where you can entertain by the tropical-style swimming pool or enjoy a game of backyard cricket on the lawn. The large vegetable patch, fruit trees and chicken coop are among other country-style perks that open the door to fresh eggs and affordable lettuce on demand.
The two-storey red brick home offers an abundance of space both inside and out, with four living rooms, three bathrooms and four toilets.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living room is the hub of family life and links to a huge alfresco designed for year-round entertaining. The kitchen, renovated just two years ago, features stone benchtops, soft-closing drawer, a double drawer dishwasher and electric cooktop and oven.
Just next door is a huge rumpus room or man cave perfect for any occasion. It has a wet bar with a stone top and sink, a handy powder room and sliding doors onto the outdoor entertainment area.
Elsewhere on the ground floor, two hallways lead off either side of the central entrance foyer to a formal lounge, study and oversized double garage on one side, and the first of three bedrooms in the other.
The spacious master suite has his and her walk-in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom, while the two other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and share a central bathroom with a corner spa bath and a separate powder room. The bedroom at the rear would be ideal for teenagers or older parents as it has external access via sliding doors onto the alfresco area.
Upstairs is also designed with children and teenagers in mind, with a central lounge area, study nook, family bathroom, separate toilet and three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes. A balcony provides beautiful views back towards Highton.
Establish palm trees create a tropical vibe around the swimming pool, while across the lawn is the large barn-style shed and adjoining carport that can accommodate up to eight cars or be used as a workshop with its own powder room.
Other features include gas central heating, evaporate cooling, solar panels and eight water tanks.
