23 Stringybark Close, Forest Hill, VIC 3131

Perched at the top of a court in the Blackburn Lake district, this character 3-bedroom home has been finessed with modern finishes to make its single level design shine.

For both downsizers and families, it's a blissful retreat that has you close enough to walk to Forest Hill Chase, and 98 SES-ranked Blackburn Lake Primary.

The boutique 90s build retains the beauty of its 4.7m high cathedral ceilings and picture windows, now enhanced by a first-class refresh featuring new carpets, hybrid floors, a gas log fireplace and a stunning new kitchen decked out in Euro appliances.

Drawing in beautiful light through the west-facing aspect of the formal and casual living rooms, it's a setting that feels instantly relaxing. Natural flow moves from the family room to the paved courtyard and its tranquil water feature, creating a café style setting to enjoy towards the north facing part of the property.

Bedrooms are zoned at either end, reserving 2 bedrooms close to the family bathroom, and the master suite in its own corner with a full ensuite and walk-in robe.

A versatile office at the entrance serves as the perfect work and study space, or as a nursery for young families.

The updates ensure the home is move-in ready, complete with new garage roller door that you can control by app, video camera security, zoned ducted heating, split system cooling units and an easy-care garden landscaped with romantic walkways to the front door hidden from street view.

Superbly located close to schools, shops, parks, and travel connections via Nunawading and Blackburn stations, Eastern Fwy/Eastlink and key bus routes including the Smartbus from Chelsea to Airport West.
