If you've been searching for a home that actually adapts to real life – this one might just be the answer.

Set behind secure automatic gates with added peace of mind from an alarm system, this substantial family home offers the kind of flexibility that's getting harder to find. Whether it's a growing family, multi-generational living or simply needing space to spread out, the layout gives you options at every turn.

Inside, five well-proportioned bedrooms include a master with walk-in robe and ensuite, while a cleverly designed separate wing offers two bedrooms, a bathroom and its own entrance – ideal for teenagers, extended family or a private retreat away from the main home.

The open plan kitchen and meals area connects seamlessly to a covered outdoor entertaining space, while a generous lounge with gas log fireplace and built-in bar adds a bit of character (and a great excuse to host).

But it's the extras that really set this one apart. An oversized double garage offers the perfect setup for tradies, tinkerers or anyone chasing that ideal workshop, storage zone or ultimate mancave, complemented by an additional double carport for even more flexibility.

Set on a generous 864m² (approx.) allotment with three water tanks and a cubby for the kids, all in a quiet location close to quality schooling including Yarra Valley Grammar, Luther College, Melba College and Ainslie Park Primary, as well as shops and public transport – this is a home that works hard, lives easy and gives you room to make it your own.
