Classic and lovely, this house will have enormous appeal for families looking for comfortable elegance that is abetted by captivating back gardens designed for soaking up leafy beauty.
Entry is to a bulkheaded hallway with blackwood floorboards that continue to the living hub. On the way, they head past a dual-entry lounge room with grey woollen carpet and windows dressed in cream timber blinds and ecru linen drapes – each recurrent traits. The cream colour palette all through fosters a mellow consistency.

A carpeted passage from the entry hall ducks left to the four fitted bedrooms, a laundry with good storage and the tri-zone bathroom (basin, toilet, shower and tub). The main bedroom has a great retreat/study area, as well as a walk-in robe and a modern en suite with semi-recessed vanity basin.
The sleek kitchen has benches – including a servery – in earthy-toned granite, a tiled splashback, walk-in pantry, Miele dishwasher, Westinghouse 900mm gas cooktop and dual wall ovens.
The family/meals space has two sets of french doors, one to a covered side deck and another to a timber deck under a slatted pergola at the back. Star jasmine and a banksia rose wind over the pergola, an example of the beautiful and romantic cottage style found in the gardens out here.
Beds are planted with old-fashioned blooms such as snapdragons and lavender; a French rose climbs up a wall; thriving gardenias bring their fragrance; and, behind a high timber screen, numerous potted olive trees march along a side fence.
Nature’s abundance is also well represented through peach, apple, lemon, cox’s orange and Tasmanian apricot trees, as well as veggies and herbs in three boxes. Water, the ultimate retreat element, comes in a large and stylish bowl affair.
The property, within an easy walk of Werribee train station and Watton Street shops and eateries, has ducted heating, evaporative cooling, a garden shed and double garage.
