42 Chester Street, Lilydale, VIC 3140

Showcasing 44sqs under roofline, plus sunroom, this craftsman-built home makes an impressive statement every step of the way; and sits proudly in a quiet tree-lined street.

Manicured front gardens framed by box hedges and decorated by a water fountain create a striking approach to the home's entrance, where an elegant hallway with soaring 9ft-tall ceilings and sleek tiled floors make a stunning first impression. Sitting either side of the entrance are two spacious bedrooms, including the Master Suite, featuring bay window sitting area, two fitted-out walk-in wardrobes, and a floor-to-ceiling tiled contemporary ensuite, complete with a frameless twin-head shower, double-bowl vanity and separate toilet. Exemplary open-plan design is showcased at the heart of the home, where the family and dining area are crowned by a kitchen adorned with Tasmanian Myrtle cabinetry and stone countertops. Complete with 900mm cooking appliances and a dishwasher, it is impressively equipped for the resident chef. An expansive rumpus room, complete with closing doors for privacy, extends from this central hub, with both areas seamlessly connecting to the home's incredible outdoor spaces. Set up for all-seasons fun & entertainment, the backyard boasts two covered Alfresco areas, with fantastic features such as a built-in barbeque, rangehood, lighting, fan, heat lamps, bench seat, split system air conditioner, bar ledge and stone servery bench. To their side, a private, north-facing lawn, bordered by a variety of citrus trees, offers plenty of room for children and pets to play.

Back inside, a rear corridor leads to two additional bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a well-appointed laundry, separate toilet, and a family bathroom that mirrors the ensuite's style, complete with freestanding bathtub.

Upstairs, a bright & inviting loft retreat includes a fifth bedroom, sitting area, and study nook.

Enhanced with a wealth of quality extras, this home has a 12-panel solar system, lavish amounts of custom cupboard storage, ducted heating, ducted evaporative cooling, split system air conditioning, alarm, external storeroom and an oversized remote double garage with roller door access to the alfresco areas.
