Description: A bespoke family entertainer with a poolside alfresco focus, this architecturally designed 4-5 bedroom, 2 bathroom, residence has also been crafted as a 'forever home' with a 6-star energy rating where the reward for environmental sustainability also lies in an almost 'off-the-grid' existence with minimal energy bills. Offered for the first time in 10 years by its original owners, the home is set in a tightly held pocket just moments from the charm of Hughesdale Village and the convenience of Chadstone Shopping Centre. Beyond a period-style façade that has been curated to respect the streetscape, the home unfolds to reveal a timelessly elegant open-plan heart that is anchored by a first-class family kitchen with premium stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink and a huge island bench, while a full Butler's kitchen ensures that even when entertaining, the kitchen remains sleek and well presented. With minimal fuss, the open-plan steps out to undercover entertaining that is serviced by an outdoor kitchen, sheltered by café style blinds and oriented to overlook the home's heated, undercover and in-ground swimming pool perfect for endless hours of fun with friends and family, in summer and winter. Upstairs, parents can enjoy the sanctuary of their own primary bedroom retreat, complete with a living room, ensuite and walk-in robes. Downstairs, the remaining 3 bedrooms are all finished with substantial built-in robes also with cleverly conceived loft spaces to really elevate your children's bedrooms with a potential 5th bedroom or large study. With a rare attention-to-detail and a vision for the future, the home has been equipped with a remarkable 17 solar panels and 32 KW Synergy battery system with 48 KW stackable storage capacity to ensure it produces more energy than you'll use, whilst the hot water has been converted to an electric heat pump with a top-of-the-range tank that will never need changing. Charging for an EV is an added bonus you'll only ever celebrate. The details matter. Securely gated with a double lock-up garage and driveway parking for another 2 vehicles, the home's front garden is a safe domain for children and pets. Further highlights of this precisely planned residence include a lounge room, a generous walk-in closet / mud room, a large, powered workshop in the backyard and a garden shed, as well as volumes of storage options - including under the stairs - central heating, evaporative cooling and the peace-of-mind of security cameras. This is a terrific opportunity to lay long-term family roots in a coveted location near transport, cafes and the dining precinct of Oakleigh. With just 12 minutes to Hughesdale Station and direct access to the Metro Tunnel, you're surrounded by the cosmopolitan dining of Oakleigh and the open expanses of Murrumbeena Park, while Chadstone is just around the corner and in zone for the sought-after Hughesdale Primary School and within walking distance of Sacred Heart Secondary College.
