Perched high above Delany Avenue and bathed in northern sun, this much-loved family home is a rare blend of space, privacy and walk-to-everything convenience. Behind a stone-pillared entrance and an avenue of established trees, a sweeping driveway leads up to a home built for entertaining, with Bright’s town centre and the Ovens River both within easy walking distance.

Over four split levels and 260m² of living, the layout gives every member of the family their own space. The upper level is anchored by a spectacular light-filled kitchen and dining area. It has a stone-topped island, a freestanding gas cooker and a soaring ceiling with clerestory windows, and it flows to a spacious family room and straight out to the entertaining terrace. The central living room has a high raked ceiling, a cosy fireplace and a covered deck that wraps around the front, perfect for morning coffee or a sunset wine. A separate formal dining room, which opens to the garden, provides yet another gathering space.

Four generous bedrooms feature exposed timber-beamed ceilings and built-in robes, and most open to leafy outlooks. Two of them also overlook the surrounding hills. The private primary suite is a retreat of its own, with a walk-in robe and ensuite. A second bedroom on the ground level with its own bathroom suits guests, teenagers or extended family. There is also a study with built-in desks and a mountain outlook, ideal for working from home. The main bathroom has a corner spa bath.

Outside, the garden setting is just as impressive. A sparkling in-ground pool is framed by tree ferns, and a brick-paved, covered pavilion has a built-in bar, a barbecue and a wood-fired oven. Lawns, mature trees and established hedges surround the home, while the roses at the front add a splash of colour each spring.
