35 Lancaster Rd, Mooroolbark, is up for grabs amid lockdown.
There’s fun for the whole family in lockdown at this decked-out Mooroolbark home, complete with a rustic “open-air” entertainment zone at the rear.
The four-bedroom house at 35 Lancaster Rd has been updated to pair contemporary inclusions with a country feel, and is on the market with $860,000-$940,000 price hopes.
Philip Webb Ringwood’s Joseph Corsi said the vendors had done the renovation and landscaping themselves within the past 12 months.

The tranquil backyard.
Sliding barn doors.
A spacious living room.
Buyers don’t need to feel on top of each other here.
“A lot of work has been done so it’s a good combination of the modern finishes with a larger backyard, so you’ve got the best of both worlds,” Mr Corsi said.
“Unfortunately because of lockdown we haven’t been able to have anyone through it yet.”
But the phone “was already running hot” with calls from first-home buyers and families looking to upsize into the 895sq m property.
He said the listing was particularly appealing for house hunters who had recently realised the “deficiencies” of their own homes during lockdown.
“There’s definitely a strong appetite from people who are wanting to move into the next stage of their life,” Mr Corsi said.
The modern kitchen.
A chic bathroom.
Warm timber runs throughout the home.
A second living room.
Inside, striking sliding barn doors open into the expansive family and meals area with timber floors.
Matching warm tones and wooden details run throughout the kitchen, which features stone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances and stylish pendant lighting above a large breakfast bar. But it was the east-facing backyard with an “open-air barn” and a barbecue that made the property perfect for entertaining during summer.
The barn is set up as an entertainment zone.
The studio is perfect for working from home.
One of the other bedrooms.
There is also a studio that could be used as a home office or a fourth bedroom, and a circular fire pit in the heart of the large landscaped garden.
And its location near Mooroolbark East Primary School, Yarra Hills Secondary College, local playgrounds, parks and shops, was another highlight of the home.
It will go to auction on August 28.
