11 Cindy Ct, Ferntree Gully VIC 3156

If you were looking for a metaphor for this home, it would surely be that you should never judge a book by its cover, as this meticulously maintained home holds no clues as to what lies behind the rendered façade and the well-kept gardens that frame it.

The home, which enjoys a prime position in a quiet, court location, is generously accommodated with 4 bedrooms/study, 2 bathrooms and a range of living areas that are spread throughout. Upon entry, there’s a spacious living room which is the ideal adult's retreat as it’s situated opposite the master bedroom, where you’ll also find a walk-in robe and a private ensuite. Adjacent to this is a studio space that is currently being utilised as a home gym; it offers a range of flexible options and has the ability to change with your needs over time. The remaining 3 bedrooms are located in the central part of the home; these are all robed and share the use of a central spa bathroom. At the home’s rear you’ll find the last of the internal accommodation. This comprises a sizeable media room with a built-in desk; it’s perfect for those who enjoy gaming and also anyone looking for a suitable place for a proper home theatre set-up. Adjoining this is a generous open plan area that boasts a combined family-dining space, and a large hostess kitchen with timber benchtops, a large central island, a stainless-steel oven and dishwasher, and extensive storage options. Expansive floor to ceiling windows on either side of French doors provide a comprehensive view of all that awaits you in the home’s outdoor living spaces which are just as admirable as those within. You could be mistaken for thinking you were in a tropical resort somewhere, but the best part is, you can relax or entertain here as much as you like, and you never have to leave. A large deck steps down to an extensive paved alfresco space, covered by a high pergola and a timber lined ceiling; this protects you from the elements and allows use for much of the year. It has a full outdoor kitchen with a plumbed BBQ, a sink and a range of cabinets. Expanses of glass fencing enclose an inviting solar heated inground pool and a themed storage shed to keep your equipment; these are framed by landscaped gardens that feature stacked stone, river rocks and mature palms. There’s also a rear section of yard that makes the ideal place to house a firepit, a trampoline or a veggie patch.

A wide array of extras completes the offering. These include gas ducted heating, evaporative cooling, Tasmanian Oak floorboards, ceiling fans, a storage rich laundry, a second storage shed, water tanks, solar panels, a garage measuring 6.5 x 10 metres approx. with a rear storage room, and further off-street parking made secure by a set of high gates. There’s even a highly sought location at the foothills of the Dandenongs, yet with quick access to the CBD courtesy of Eastlink which is nearby. You’re also close to local buses with rail links, Westfield Knox, a range of popular schools including Fairhills Primary and Secondary College, and green spaces including the 1,000 Steps, Fair Park and Blind Creek with its popular trail.
