65 Winona Road, Mount Eliza VIC 3930

Enveloped in bushland serenity in the Woodlands Region of Mt Eliza, this resort-style retreat pairs luminous spaces and breath taking design to deliver a spacious family hideaway crafted around a central swimming pool and alfresco kitchen on over an acre of subdividable land (STCA) spilling down to the Milbank walking trail.

Awash with natural light throughout via Velux skylight windows with blinds, the four-bedroom residence is defined by high ceilings, dado panelling, whitewashed walls and a contemporary aesthetic reminiscent of a glamorous magazine spread. One end of the home could easily be set up as a self contained flat/5th bedroom with its own bathroom and entrance, great for the in-laws or teenage retreat.

Both formal and informal living zones are flanked by double glazed sliding glass doors opening to an expansive deck with covered and sun-splashed zones, outdoor heating and an awesome outdoor kitchen with stone countertops, sink and a built-in barbecue for enviable poolside entertaining backdropped by tall trees and rosellas.

A jaw-dropping contemporary kitchen wows with a colossal 5-metre New York Stone island, farmhouse sink, black Falcon 5-burner stove and Bosch dishwasher overlooking the luminous dining zone flanked by a wall of glass opening to the sundeck, while a third living area in a separate zone would make a wonderful billiards room, home office or guest retreat with its own bathroom, external access and split-system.

The master bedroom impresses with a fitted walk-in robe and heavenly modern ensuite with huge dual-head rainshower and in-floor heating in this family dream home, which includes a huge third bathroom with clawfoot tub and walk-in shower, open fireplace, ducted heating, new evaporative cooling, German tapware, enormous attic, 4.5kW solar panels, brand new carpeting and bluegum and ironbark timber flooring.

Set behind electronic gates with a three-bay garage, abundant off-street parking for guests, boat and caravan, a weatherboard bungalow, a rustic cubby house and a colourful beach box gifted from a popular tv show, the property is surrounded by great schools and is just 5 minutes' drive to Mt Eliza's vibrant village with the beach beyond.
