About this listing
What We Love
Nestled in Footscray, this four bedroom, two bathroom residence reimagines suburban living through natural materials and considered spatial flow. Set behind a private facade, the home unfolds across two levels where timber warmth meets abundant light and a hidden garden oasis becomes the heart of daily life.
Living & Entertaining
Open plan living flows beneath soaring white ceilings with timber cabinetry defining zones without walls. Large format woven pendant lights hover above the reclaimed timber dining table, while floor to ceiling timber framed windows flood the space with natural light. The corner grey sofa faces a wall mounted television with integrated surround sound, creating a relaxed media zone. A minimalist fireplace with glass panels anchors one end of the living area. Timber flooring runs continuously from kitchen through living to the garden threshold, where sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoor comfort and outdoor sanctuary.
The private garden offers a circular concrete stepping stones trace paths through lawn and garden beds, while high timber screening creates complete privacy. A timber deck extends from the living area with Weber BBQ and outdoor dining setup beneath the pergola. Two black woven chairs claim a separate deck area for morning coffee or evening wine.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen pairs teal lower cabinets with blonde timber uppers and open shelving that displays ceramics and glassware. A white tiled island with waterfall edge provides seating for three tan leather stools, while the induction cooktop includes one gas burner for precise flame cooking. Dual stainless steel refrigerators, twin ovens including steam function, and integrated dishwasher handle any culinary demands. The coffee station and walk in pantry keep countertops clear.
Sleep
The master bedroom claims the ground floor with a queen bed and built-in storage. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide flexible accommodation. One holds a queen bed, another holds a double bed with a desk and bookshelves for those who work or study from home. The fourth bedroom fits two king singles, perfect for children or guests sharing space.
Bathrooms & Facilities
The ground floor bathroom combines charcoal grey large format tiles with a timber vanity supporting a white vessel basin. A freestanding bath sits beside the walk in shower, both finished in matching grey tile. The upstairs bathroom mirrors this palette with charcoal tiles, timber vanity, white vessel basin, and rainfall shower. Both spaces include heated towel rails and chrome fixtures.
Ducted air conditioning flows through the main living area while individual split systems serve each bedroom. Ceiling fans with timber blades supplement cooling during mild weather. Surround sound integrates throughout living spaces for music streaming. The laundry houses a stacked washer and dryer unit behind closed doors.
