312 Manchester Road, MOOROOLBARK

Perched well above the street, this much-loved two-storey home is set behind sandstone walls and a sweep of established garden on approximately 864 square metres. From its front deck, the view stretches out over the rooftops to the hills, the kind of outlook you'll find yourself checking every morning with a coffee in hand.

Step through the stained-glass front door and the dramatic cathedral ceiling soars. Exposed timber beams and dormer style windows adorn the lounge and dining room, where a wood heater stands against a towering feature wall. There's room here for a reading nook or study corner as well. Doors then lead out to an expansive front veranda and extended patio and offers the perfect scenic overlook for your morning coffee.

The kitchen has stone benchtops, gas cooking and a dishwasher and flows into the family and meals area at the rear, where the beamed ceilings continue. Sliding doors reveal an expansive covered deck, and beyond it, a Japanese maple leans over a pond, with steps down to the lawn and a garden shed.

The main bedroom sits at the front with a walk-in robe and beautifully renovated ensuite. The second bedroom has built-in robes, and the contemporary main bathroom pairs a freestanding bath with a separate shower. Upstairs is a delightful surprise. Beneath the steeply pitched roof, timber floors and exposed beams give the third bedroom and adjoining attic a wonderfully individual feel, with scope for a studio, creative retreat or home office.

The self-contained secondary unit feels like a little home of its own, complete with open-plan living and meals, a kitchen and a bedroom with a walk-in robe and ensuite. Designed with flexible living in mind, this home provides private, secluded spaces for multigenerational families, adult children, or an extra income stream.

There's also ducted heating, ceiling fans, air conditioning upstairs and in the bungalow, a laundry with stone benchtops, under-house storage, NBN fibre to the premises and a remote double garage and ample off-street parking.

Chirnside Park Shopping Centre is in walking distance for groceries, a coffee or a last-minute birthday present, and buses run along Manchester Road. Rolling Hills Primary School and Mooroolbark College are both nearby, and the cafés and shops of Mooroolbark and the station are only minutes away. Castle Hill Reserve is close by, and the wineries of the Yarra Valley make for a pleasant weekend drive.

With so much on its doorstep, this is a home geared to the way families live, change and grow.
