13 Stephen Rd, Ferntree Gully VIC 3156

There are homes you will remember for a short time, then there are those that will etch themselves in your memory for the foreseeable future. This contemporary entertainer certainly falls into the latter.

Boasting a fully rendered façade and a Colourbond roof, the fully renovated home, which is framed by landscaped gardens, offers a secure entrance that opens to the place you could next call home. On the entry-level, you’ll find yourself admiring a sizeable living room with a projector and screen, and thinking about the nights you could spend here watching your favourite movie or the next big sporting event. Adjacent to this is the home’s dining room which flows through to a hostess kitchen with stone benchtops, an abundance of gloss cabinetry, and quality stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher and a 900mm Belling freestanding cooker with twin electric ovens and an induction cooktop. The generously accommodated home has five robed bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. Three bedrooms are found downstairs, zoned together and serviced by a central family bathroom with a deep bathtub, an oversized shower, and a storage rich vanity unit. The remaining two are on the upper level, including the light-filled master with a large walk-in robe and a private ensuite. These are coupled with a spacious family room which adds a further level of appeal. Extending the home’s leisure spaces further is a fully enclosed alfresco living area that has ample room for both lounging and dining; the inclusion of a wood-burning fireplace, as well as split system heating/air-conditioning, ensures that the space can be used comfortably year-round. To one side of this sensational zone is a secluded 5-person spa tub protected by a timber gazebo, and to the other, a lush grassed backyard bordered by established greenery and well-placed decking platforms. Whether your preference is quiet relaxation or entertaining on a grand scale, you’ll be thrilled with the prospect of doing it here; a built-in BBQ, sink and glass-fronted drinks fridge makes the task even easier.

A range of extras are a further complement to enticing property. They include zoned ducted heating and refrigerated air-conditioning, ceiling fans, a full-sized laundry with good storage options, understair storage, in-ceiling speakers, a video doorbell with intercom, CCTV and a security system. There’s also a two-car garage with workshop space, a 2-car carport, additional off-street parking and a highly sought location that’s close to an array of desirable amenities. You’re near local buses, Ferntree Gully railway station, Mountain Gate Shopping Centre and Westfield Knox, a selection of schools, and open green spaces such as Tim Neville Arboretum and Dobson Park.
