17 Shearwater Crescent, Maribyrnong, Vic 3032

Set just a handful of steps from sprawling parkland and the Maribyrnong River Trail this contemporary family sanctuary offers the rare blend of weekend calm and weekday convenience with the CBD tram an easy stroll and Highpoint’s dining and shopping only moments away.

A statement entry opens to polished timber floors and soaring ceilings that draw you into a series of generous living zones. To the left a fully fitted theatre room promises gold class movie nights while straight ahead the open plan living and dining domain stretches almost six metres wide then dissolves through glass doors to a sheltered alfresco. Here an outdoor kitchen with built in barbecue meets a timber deck edged by a waterfall bench seat and an easy care courtyard so entertaining flows effortlessly from inside to out in every season.

Keen cooks will adore the two tone stone kitchen where a ninety centimetre Westinghouse gas range stands ready for Sunday roasts. An appliance cupboard keeps benches clear for prep and twin dish drawers make the clean up a breeze.

Accommodation is thoughtfully zoned. The ground floor master suite overlooks leafy gardens and pampers with a walk through robe plus a spa ensuite finished in stone with dual raised basins double rain showers and a private toilet. Upstairs three further bedrooms each with built in robes share a stylish family bathroom while a vast rumpus room spills onto a terrace that catches glimpses of city lights at dusk.
