This endearing brick residence with a decorative weatherboard façade by Smart Homes on a massive 741m2 allotment is a surprise package, to say the least! On walking through the front door, you are immediately transported back to the early 1900’s with all the embellishments of the era – hardwood flooring, Baltic pine wall panelling, ornamental timber fretwork, high ceilings imparting a wonderful sense of volume, and even period furniture to complete the effect. This is a true home in every sense of the word, with a lovely ambiance to soothe the senses and calm the mind. However, it is also not all about the past – there is also every modern convenience at hand, in a beautifully proportioned home suitable for all comers.
There are four generous bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, the main bedroom is complete with a full ensuite bathroom and walk-through wardrobe. Two living areas, one at either end of the home provide a wonderful level of privacy – a formal loungeroom and an informal living area with dining area, and incorporating a well-planned kitchen with island bench, stone counter tops, Falcon cooking range, dishwasher, and double pantry space. This area also accesses to a large, timber-decked outdoor living area. A well-equipped laundry and family bathroom completes the residence. Also under the roofline is an oversized single car garage with concrete floor, power, and both auto remote access and direct to house access.
Both front and rear gardens have been extensively developed with a broad, exposed aggregate driveway and pathways, and a myriad of plantings including a full orchard of fruit trees (apple, avocado, fig, olive, citrus, feijoa) and even blueberry bushes. The gardens are in the Heritage style with themes of both Cottage Garden, and Old English Garden, accentuated with brick and bluestone edging and gravel pathways, all with a very pretty outlook across the valley to the hills of Heath Hill beyond. In essence, this is a home away from home with local shopping, services, cafes and V-Line train service just a stroll away.
