Substantial Sustainable Family Lifestyle Sanctuary

Idyllic surroundings of expansive established garden lend a relaxed country air to this large mid-century residence offering a sustainable, big-block, family lifestyle in an increasingly-popular, community-minded pocket. Solar electricity, double-glazing and ceiling fans keep comfort levels up and energy costs down in this delightful four bedroom home while 15000-litres of rainwater tanks, an irrigation system and even a chicken coop nourish the garden with its wide variety of fruit trees and wicking vegetable beds. Every step offers wonderful leafy vistas as the layout unfolds from an entrance hallway on polished hardwood floorboards to a stylish lounge room with a cozy gas fireplace, a big front bedroom and two further bedrooms with built-in robes. A sky-lit dining area flows to a bright and functional kitchen before a fabulous living area with Nectre wood heater and double-glazed sliding doors to a deck. A rear home office/study is a peaceful workspace that's easily adaptable as a fourth double bedroom while there's also a family bathroom including a separate bathtub and shower, a powder room and a huge laundry/mudroom. A vine-draped pergola covers a paved alfresco area in the extra-spacious rear garden that includes a firepit area and a lock-up work shed. Nestled on an 886m2 allotment (approx) with ample off-street parking, this warm-hearted family home is the ideal environment for progressive parents and curious kids seeking a sanctuary of space in a friendly and well-connected location by Gellibrand Village with its cafe, yoga centre, shops and kinder. Walking to Ruthven train station, buses and parkland takes a just few minutes while also close by are schools, supermarkets, LaTrobe University and Northland Shopping Centre. <br/>Miles Real Estate. <br/>In Conjunction with Younger-Hill<br/>buyer agents . property advocates . vendor advocacy <br/>https://youngerhill.com/<br/>Fahey Younger +61 422 550 673
