Relaxed oasis: 11-13 Doolan Street, Werribee, 3030

By Jenan Taylor

Reclining near the natural beauty of the Werribee River and backing on to its walking trails, this immaculate four-bedroom house would appeal to nature-loving, discerning families.

Arrive each day to a sprawling 1100 square metres of property where an outdoor entertainment area right at the front door provides the first clues to the dwelling’s relaxed atmosphere and lifestyle.

Inside, soaring timber ceilings and classic exposed beams pair with soft natural tones on the floors and walls. Kick off your shoes and let your feet sink into the cosy carpeting in the laid-back lounge room, where plentiful windows draw in light as well as the beauty of the lush surrounds. A gas log fireplace here is framed in silver and recessed into a creamy feature wall with mantle. This zone adjoins a dining room with views across the garden.

Wheat-coloured floorboards set the tone for casual get-togethers with family and friends in the adjacent living room and meals area. On one side of this space, there are built-in bookshelves while on the other a server window into the galley-style kitchen is both contemporary and a reminder of more classic times.

A gas cooker, as well as plenty of bench space and storage cabinets at eye and waist level keep things convenient in the kitchen, and a bank of windows frame established trees.

All four bedrooms are spacious and have built-in robes and there is a central bathroom. The main bedroom also has mirrored robes and an en suite. Meanwhile, a paved courtyard is wonderfully private and screened from the outside. Relax with a book or linger over a lazy brunch with family and friends in this sunny space, so reminiscent of a European plaza.

A double carport provides more convenience.

Enjoy close proximity to Werribee Primary School, a short stroll away, and the community hub of Werribee with cafes, supermarkets, medical centre and leisure facilities.
