5 Velma Grove

When the owners designed this residence just over 15 years ago, they planned for it to be properly lived in. And that meant generous proportions, well-considered spaces and a clear focus on practicality to make day-to-day life easy. Enveloped by native gardens on an 870sqm (approx.) corner allotment, the thought behind the property is immediately apparent. An extra-tall remote double garage and gated side entry to the yard sit alongside the contemporary brick residence, catering to large cars, trucks and leisure vehicles. Comfort is assured throughout, with double insulation and double-glazed windows complemented by ducted heating and refrigerated air conditioning. Two spacious zones allow the family to spread out, with the open plan living and dining room bringing everyone together. Taking in sweeping treed vistas and opening to a covered alfresco, it's the heart of the home. Overlooking it is a stylish kitchen, featuring quality appliances, stone benches and an abundance of storage, including a double-sided breakfast island and a fitted-out walk-in pantry with direct access to the garage, making bringing in the groceries a breeze. Accommodation is also thoughtfully arranged, adding to the home's functionality. A generous master bedroom sits at the front, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while three additional bedrooms with fitted-out built-in wardrobes are positioned in a rear wing, two boasting city views. A central bathroom, powder room and a laundry with built-in storage and clothesline access complete the internal footprint. Further highlights include a 16-panel solar system, ducted vacuum, a heat pump hot water service, extensive internal and under-house storage including a powered workshop, a 10,000-litre water tank connected to the toilets, an established vegetable garden, citrus trees and berry bushes. A convenient location enhances it all, situated within walking distance of Maroondah Preschool, bus stops, local shops, Maroondah Hospital and medical suites. Ringwood East and Croydon's shopping, dining and transport hubs are just minutes away, along with Eastland, EastLink and a selection of well-regarded schools including Sacred Heart and Tinternvale Primary Schools, Tintern and Yarra Valley Grammar, plus Luther, Melba and Aquinas College.
