1 Mitchells Run, Doreen, VIC 3754

One of the signature De Cata Homes in the award-winning Mitchells Run Estate, this grand sandstone homestead sits on a beautiful near-acre of land, offering an incredible opportunity for future subdivision (subject to council approval). The property boasts a country-style wraparound verandah designed to celebrate the stunning views. To the north, enjoy vistas of King Lake and the Great Dividing Range, while to the east, you'll see emus and other farming animals, embodying the bush lifestyle in this rapidly growing district. The area is set for continuous development, with Laurimar Town Centre and Mernda offering essential shopping, and further plans for growth in the future.

The expansive single-level design of this 2003-built residence impresses with picturesque green outlooks through its large windows, and a free-flowing layout that centers around a spectacular open-plan entertaining wing. The 4 bedrooms, plus an office/study, are situated in the quieter corners of the home, ensuring privacy for the parents, who will enjoy a generously sized walk-in wardrobe and a skylit ensuite.

The centerpiece kitchen features a gas cooktop, oven, grill, and a spacious L-shaped bench, perfectly oriented to overlook the family room and rumpus for social interaction. French doors open to the verandah, where the beautifully landscaped native gardens enhance the seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Expansive, flat grassed areas provide ample space for children, pets, and hobby farm activities.

Travertine-inspired tiling in the bathrooms, a bar in the games room, and horizontal windows offering views of the treetops further elevate the home's beauty. A double drive-through garage, a huge man shed with a high roof ideal for boats, caravans, and trailers, as well as its own toilet and sink, mudroom, central heating, and cooling complete the impressive feature list.

For families, it offers the freedom to live, relax, and entertain, all while being close to esteemed schools including Ivanhoe Grammar and Plenty Valley Christian College. The property is well-served by public transport with the 389 Mernda bus loop, Mernda train station, and is just a 15-minute drive to Westfield Plenty Valley and 20 minutes to DFO Uni Hill and Bundoora Square.
