Last Listing description (June 2016)
Surrounded by breathtaking gardens along Donvale's most prestigious residential strip awaits a resort-inspired haven of a luxurious standard.
Such is the picturesque and private nature of this stately 40 square (approx.) family residence that a lifestyle of unsurpassed serenity is also assured on this glorious acre (approx.) allotment, which offers the tranquility of country living with the convenience of the city given the seamless access to The Pines Shopping Centre, the Eastern Freeway, well-regarded schools, Tunstall Square shops and transport.
Visual interaction with the scenic surrounds is an intelligent design feature of the grand living spaces, which are abundant in number, bathed in natural light and of very generous proportions.
Appreciate the leafy backdrop as you unwind in the sun-kissed sitting area, and to really feel part of the scenic landscape, step out onto any of the peaceful balconies that connect with the formal dining (with bar) and formal lounge - the latter nestled beneath a towering Cathedral ceiling.
A central kitchen styled with quality stainless steel appliances (Miele deep fryer, St George 900mm cooktop and Bosch dishwasher), stainless steel splashback, wide stone benchtops and abundant storage has so much space that many cooks can stir the pot without getting in each other's way, and just in case you require a bit more cooking space, the adjacent family living set against a stunning backdrop of treetops features its own gas mains BBQ hotplate with rangehood!
The home's sizeable character extends to the substantial-sized rumpus and accommodation zone upstairs, which features a large Master bedroom with ensuite, retreat and private study with leadlight windows plus three additional bedrooms that interconnect with one another and serviced by a central family bathroom. Ground-floor bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robes also provides comfortable overnight guest or extended family accommodation.
With the colder months upon us, the presence of three separate fireplaces coupled with gas ducted heating means the chills of winter won't have an impact on your comfort levels inside. And when summer arrives, you'll be eager to host gatherings out on the stunning entertaining deck that stands alongside the gorgeous in-ground swimming pool with spa.
You can also host tennis competitions of your own on the full-size, floodlit and synthetic tennis court that's complete with a viewing deck.
Furthermore, the home boasts huge storage areas under the house, beautiful polished timber floorboards, CCTV system, ducted vacuum, split-system cooling, remote double garage with kitchenette (with gas cooking) and separate workshop.
