Overlooking the local reserve, this architecturally-designed residence presents a masterful union of style and sustainability.

High, square-set ceilings and polished floorboards grace the sophisticated interiors, with the solar-passive design boasting two brick thermal masses and double-glazing throughout. Four living zones create a wealth of space, with three opening onto the north-facing deck for sensational entertaining options. The open plan living/dining/kitchen zone creates the centrepiece of the home, where the kitchen exudes quality with stone benchtops and new Electrolux appliances (dishwasher and 900mm oven/gas cooktop). Both the retreat and rumpus room provide peaceful settings, while the front lounge offers versatility as a fourth bedroom.

Also boasting direct access to the deck, the main bedroom creates a dreamy retreat for parents with a large walk-in robe and ensuite. You’ll love that this elevated section of the deck perfectly captures the picturesque sunsets. So why not sit back with a glass of wine and admire the outlook? Two additional bedrooms with built-in robes and two main bathrooms create a flexible layout, while the laundry features ample storage and access to the private rear yard. Other features include ducted heating, three split-system air conditioners, ceiling fans, video intercom, a rainwater tank, stone benchtops to all bathrooms, and new Merbau decking to the outdoor entertaining area. The remote double garage features internal access.

With the local reserve just across the road, children don’t have to venture far to play or enjoy a kick of the footy. Public transport and the Barrabool Hills Shopping Plaza are a short stroll away, while the Barwon River and Buckley Falls Lookout inspire the whole family to enjoy the outdoors. Nearby schools include Montpellier Primary School and Newtown’s private colleges, while easy Ring Road access keeps you connected to Melbourne and the Surf Coast.
