Designed by Alistair Knox to offer a peaceful retreat from everyday life, this character-filled home celebrates the enduring appeal of Knox's signature style with a wonderfully private bushland setting, all within easy reach of Warrandyte Village and its vibrant cafés, shops and riverside attractions.
Elevated among the treetops and set well back from the road, a hand-sawn timber staircase leads to a full-length balcony, where leafy views provide a peaceful setting for morning coffee or relaxed afternoons. Inside, the inviting living and dining room showcases timber floors, walls and ceilings, complemented by an impressively large open fireplace and a centrally positioned woodfire, creating a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months.
The adjoining kitchen retains its original character, featuring timber benchtops, a distinctive custom timber rangehood and a servery window opening to the balcony. Two bedrooms, including the generously proportioned main bedroom, enjoy direct access to a rear paved terrace and the garden, while the family bathroom features a unique sunken tiled bathtub with an overhead shower.
The ground floor reveals a spacious multipurpose room with an open fireplace and an adjoining bedroom, offering flexibility for guests, teenagers, hobbies or creative pursuits. Outside, the rear terrace connects with a generous paved alfresco area, where a BBQ zone and pizza oven invite relaxation and quality time with family and friends.
The substantial backyard provides a wonderful connection to nature, with fruit trees, a productive vegetable garden and a chicken coop adding to its relaxed, semi-rural charm. Additional features include wide eaves, split-system air conditioning, a gas space heater and off-street parking.
In a sought-after location, it’s only a short walk to the Yarra River and is easily accessible to Warrandyte State Park, popular Warrandyte Village shops and cafes, nearby schools (both public and private), Goldfields Shopping Centre, Westfield Doncaster, the Pines and the Eastern Freeway/EastLink.
