Floorplan
SOLD BY WOODARDS MANNINGHAM.
There is an innate beauty that exudes from this timeless red clinker brick home, promising to captivate whilst leaving a lasting impression for all the right reasons. Radiating an abundance of elegance and charm, it has been tastefully renovated throughout, offering all the features you would expect of a home of this era, plus the creature comforts sort by today's astute home buyer. The ceilings are high, the cornices are decorative, the skirtings are wide, and Tasmanian Oak floorboards lay a stunning path throughout much of the home, tying light-filled spaces together seamlessly.
There is commendable family accommodation within. It begins with a generous living room, where an eye-catching fireplace with an Ironbark mantle makes a noteworthy focal point whilst promising a place of retreat in the cooler Melbourne months. Adjacent is a well-considered study nook with custom-built Messmate benches and shelves and an expansive dining area that is the perfect place for hosting either family celebrations or intimate dinners. The second of the home's inviting living spaces is a sizeable family room where large windows offer magnificent vistas to Kinglake and the Great Dividing Range. Between these is a French Provincial inspired kitchen that is both highly functional and aesthetically pleasing. It boasts a huge central island bench, recycled ironbark sleeper benchtops, a Miele dishwasher, a Smeg 900mm electric oven with gas cooktop, and a stainless steel double under-mount sink. There is also a walk-in pantry with custom-built hardwood benches. Completing the internal accommodation are four robed bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master is privately located and features a walk-in robe and an ensuite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are zoned together and share the use of a modern central bathroom with a deep soaker tub, a separate shower, and wall-hung vanity. The home's outdoor spaces are the perfect complement to those found within. There is an open-air deck between the living spaces that is accessible via well-placed French doors; it makes the ideal place to begin your day with a morning coffee. Large-scale entertaining is best suited to the remarkable main deck that features Merbau boards, recycled spotted gum pergola beams, spotted gum cladding, and a custom-built external kitchen with Caesarstone benchtops, a Beefeater Signature BBQ and integrated side burner, an under-mount sink, and water-resistant cabinetry; it also has a double drinks fridge and a wood-fired pizza oven. It offers both undercover and open-air spaces and is large enough to accommodate dining and lounging in unison whilst overlooking the greenery of a large backyard, complete with a firepit area and a playspace with a cubbyhouse, fort, slide, and swings; the ultimate children's wonderland.
There are a number of additional features that enhance the appeal of the property, which has been freshly painted and carpeted even further. They include gas ducted heating, split system heating and cooling, quality window coverings, a full-sized laundry, solar panels, three water tanks, under-house storage, a double carport behind secure gates and a high fence, and additional off-street parking for a trailer or caravan. Then there's the location in one of Templestowe’s most desirable pockets, close to Templestowe Village with its specialty shops, cafes and restaurants, local buses, several primary and secondary schools, and open green spaces like Westerfolds Park and Templestowe Reserve. You're also close to Westfield Doncaster for all your shopping needs and the Eastern Freeway and Doncaster Park and Ride for easy CBD access.
