66 Kumala Rd, Bayswater VIC 3153

Tightly held by the same family since its inception, this home is filled with a lifetime of memories created across the years. It’s now time for the page to turn, and a new chapter to begin for another lucky family, one seeking a generously proportioned home, in a location rich with amenities.

Positioned on a sizeable allotment of 772m2 (approx.), the home boasts accommodation across two well-considered levels. Upstairs are the sleeping quarters, four robed bedrooms and two bathrooms, zoned together for convenience; this includes a master with a walk-in robe and a private ensuite. Below are expansive living areas where families can enjoy a range of endeavours. To the right of the entry is a spacious, light-filled lounge which enjoys adjacency to a separate dining room, while to the left, a dedicated home office/study which could also be used as a fifth bedroom should the need arise; with direct access from the exterior of the home, it’s the perfect proposition for those who run a home based business that requires face-to-face contact with clients. There is also a large rumpus room with its own pool table, and a gas log fireplace, making it the ultimate space for games nights with family and friends. Between the home’s living zones is a central kitchen, with excellent storage options, and a range of features including a new Bosch oven; this overlooks a meals area for casual gatherings or eating on the run. Those who love spending time outdoors will covet the substantial undercover deck that runs along the north side of the home. Offering breathtaking views of the Dandenong Ranges and framed by a substantial, lush green backyard that’s both child and pet friendly, it’s the ideal place to take time out of a busy day for quiet relaxation, or to entertain alfresco style.

Many extras add an additional layer of appeal. These include gas ducted heating, two split systems, air-conditioning, a full-sized laundry, a downstairs powder room, a two-car carport with a large adjoining storage room, plus further off-street parking on the long driveway. Then there’s the location of the home, which is close to Bayswater Train Station, local buses, primary and secondary schools, shopping precincts such as Westfield Knox and Mountain High Shopping Centre, and the variety of specialty stores, cafes and restaurants located in central Bayswater. You’re also near Eastlink, allowing easy access to the CBD and Mornington Peninsula, and various open green spaces including Guy Turner Reserve.
