The formal dining room connects to the kitchen.

The double-brick residence opens to a hallway with pressed metal wall detailing and timber floors, while the kitchen is fitted with a walk-in pantry and balcony looking out to the backyard planted with vegetable gardens.

“I do love that area where you’re looking out from the kitchen and beautiful living zone to the garden,” Mr Rombotis said.

Each of the three bedrooms have woodfire fireplaces, while there’s also a formal dining room.

Other inclusions are two split-system units, a reverse osmosis water filter system, 18 solar panels, under-house storage, rear laneway access and parking for six cars.

Six separate vegetable gardens in the backyard.

There’s a bath tub in the bathroom, while the house also has a separate toilet and a laundry.

The home is set on a 620sq m block.

The house is close to schools including Caulfield Grammar and parks.

“It’s a fantastic spot, it’s close to the Harold Holt Swim Centre, all the amenities, Malvern Central, transport and Chadstone’s not too far away,” Mr Rombotis said.

He added that the home, set on a 620sq m block, was peaceful and welcoming.

“You can have all the doors open and you can’t hear a thing,” he added.

The home will be auctioned at 2.30pm on October 26.
