2 Lording Street, FERNTREE GULLY

This family home has the space, personality and poolside summers that make it feel like the place you stay for years. Matching wraparound balconies on each level frame the façade and radiate a relaxed, almost coastal feel.

The ground floor opens with a welcoming flow, starting with an entry hall that branches to a fourth bedroom or study at the front. The lounge alongside it has a calm, light-filled ambience, before the interior moves into the family and meals zone. Timber floors carry through to the kitchen, fitted with a five-burner gas cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher. A wood heater anchors the space, setting the tone for family nights in. Double doors open to an extensive covered alfresco patio that's ready for celebrations, long summer dinners and weekend barbecues. The bar and generous shelter make it usable across the seasons.

Two downstairs bedrooms include built-in robes and sit close to the main bathroom, which incorporates a shower, bath, toilet and laundry facilities. Upstairs, parents gain a level to themselves. The main bedroom is a standout, offering a bay window, his and hers walk-in robes, and a spa ensuite worth lingering in, with dual shower heads and skylight windows. There are also treetop views from the balcony.

At the rear are the solar-heated pool, a deep lawn, rainwater tank, plus a workshop and carport. A separate home office or studio with a split system air conditioner suits a home-based business, professional set-up, hobbies or giving older kids independence. Ducted heating, split-system air conditioners and the advantage of thirty-eight solar panels generating 5.5kW to keep running costs in check add to the comfort. Carparking is made easy with plenty of off-street drive-way space for cars, work vehicles, a boat or even a caravan.

School zoning covers Ferntree Gully North Primary School and Boronia K-12 College, with St Joseph's Primary close by. Ferntree Gully Station, Ferntree Gully Village, Mountain Gate Shopping Centre, The Boronia Mall and Gateway Estate are within all easy reach, along with the Dandenongs.
