*Photo ID required at Open for Inspections* Some homes impress at first glance; this one continues to do so long after you step inside. Grand, elegant and built to an exceptional standard, it offers a level of craftsmanship and design that would cost far more to recreate today - making it not only beautiful, but brilliantly practical. A true family entertainer in every sense. The kind of home you walk into and instantly know - this is the one. From the moment the electronic front gate opens and you step through the grand, arched recessed entryway, it's clear no detail has been overlooked. Rebuilding or renovating to achieve this standard would be a costly, time-consuming exercise - finding a home like this, already perfected, is a rare advantage. The ground floor flows beautifully for modern living. A dedicated home office (or optional bedroom) sits discreetly behind double doors, offering quiet focus when working from home. A fully equipped theatre room with projector and seating brings the gold-class experience home. The expansive open-plan living and dining zone is warmed by an electric fireplace and opens to a north-facing covered deck, gazebo and lush landscaped gardens complete with water feature - the perfect setting for year-round entertaining. The kitchen is a standout - superbly appointed for the avid cook, featuring quality appliances, dishwasher, wraparound breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, and wine rack, providing both form and function. Upstairs, the primary suite is a luxurious retreat with an oversized walk-in robe, large ensuite with twin vanities and bath, and a private balcony. Four additional bedrooms (all with robes) share a beautifully finished bathroom and separate toilet, while the upstairs landing provides an inviting space for study or relaxation. Additional features include a reverse-cycle ducted heating and refridgerated cooling system, fitted laundry, powder room with touch lighting, hybrid floors, porcelain tiles, double garage with kitchenette and storage, dual side access, secure off-street parking, and a comprehensive security system. Built-in cabinetry and stacked stone accents create a cohesive, high-end design throughout. Perfectly positioned in a quiet, tree-lined street, this home enjoys unmatched convenience - an easy stroll to transport options, Preston Market, Northland Shopping Centre, Merri Creek Trail, cafés, restaurants, and parks. With the 86 Tram taking you straight into the city or Regent Station a short stroll away, there's truly no need for a car! Set just 10km from the CBD and surrounded by excellent schools including Preston Primary, Preston High, Holy Name Primary and Parade College, this is a home that exceeds expectations in every respect. Opportunities of this calibre in Preston are exceptionally rare - move straight in, unpack, and stay for many years to come.
