Is it the deep front verandah or the cottage-y style that imbue this place with a sense of romance? Probably both. There’s a certain charm that evokes the days when people sat on their porches and chatted with passersby – and if that still happens, it would be in the kicked-back village of Eynesbury.
Inside the house, it’s all about glossy-contemporary, although romance is hinted at in the white sheers softening the dove-grey roller blinds on black-framed windows. Wall paint is white, carpet and tiling are grey, and attractive floating floorboards bring their sheen.

Those floorboards begin in the entry hall and head past the main bedroom, a lounge room through double doors, and a set-back laundry before culminating in the expansive living hub.
Except for a pearl-grey glass splashback, the kitchen is all white – including the stone that tops the island brekkie bench for four. There’s a walk-in pantry swelling already plentiful storage, as well as a 900mm cooker and a dishwasher.
The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and a spacious en suite with storage-rich vanity. Three more fitted bedrooms share a rear hallway with the gleaming main bathroom.
There are a few places to relax outdoors. One is an integrated alfresco area, the spot for sun sheltering; another is a large patio to sit out in the sunshine; and yet another open deck will catch north-easterly rays. To bring some essential green, there’s a strip of lawn amid otherwise minimal landscaping.
Eynesbury Homestead and the golf course are a 15-minute amble away, Exford Primary School is 10 minutes by car and Melton shops about 15.
