If pristine presentation and style-plus is your “thing”, then this Federation tribute will be on your must-see list.
Just as the era touches are subtle in the facade, so they are indoors, with details such as fretwork marking wide entries to a couple of rooms, plus era pointers in the main bathroom.

Oyster-pearl wall paint all through, coupled with tasteful accent walls, terracotta-toned floor tiles and grey carpet and blinds paired with floaty white sheers create a wonderful harmony and underpin the sense – and reality – of spaciousness.
Living areas are plentiful, providing different spots for retreat, hang-together times and when entertaining. They include a sitting room (which could be the fifth bedroom) behind sliding doors, and a carpeted open lounge room, both of which are along the entry walkway; an expansive living hub with a wood heater; and a theatre room, with screen and projector included, which has glossy laminate flooring and lovely moody wall colour.
The kitchen, beautifully lit by a skylight, is a stylish affair, with a stack of off-white cabinetry, an island bench for four topped with charcoal laminate, a large walk-in pantry and all the mod-cons. Family cooks will love this space and it’s swank enough to welcome guests to sit around the island and enjoy a tipple.
As well as an open study, there are four spacious fitted bedrooms, the main with walk-in robe and sparkling en suite. Each bedroom has accent walls in various shades, as well as ceiling fans.
The main bathroom has a period-style timber vanity with rosy splashback tiles.
A gabled-roofed pergola, with fretworked ceiling corners, is flanked by Tuscan topping areas and a rockery garden with water feature. Fairy lights in the pergola make it a calming night-time space, while the spacious back lawn is home to a chicken run and cute-as coop, a cat run, a vegie garden and fire pit and designated kids’ play areas.
Other drawcards include ducted heating, split-system, LEDs throughout, a double garage and side area for caravan/trailer parking.
Wedge Park and St Catherine of Siena primary schools and Melton Secondary College, as well as Woodgrove Shopping Centre, are each within five minutes or less by car.
