AUCTION THIS SATURDAY | Showcasing exquisite panoramic views across lush treetops towards the mountains, this charismatic residence presents an exceptional zoned layout ideal for harmonious family living. Encompassing three distinct living areas and a private ensuite master haven, the home retains elegant original design elements enhanced by impeccable contemporary renovations. Architecturally designed c.1967 and constructed to meticulous standards by its original owner-builder, and with a garden originally designed by acclaimed landscape architect Ellis Stones, the home offers an idyllic lifestyle retreat in a sought-after leafy setting.
Positioned in a quiet family neighbourhood, the residence is within easy walking distance of Birrarung Park, Finns Reserve and Wombat Bend Playground. Scenic Yarra River walking trails lead to Heide Museum of Modern Art, while both Bulleen Plaza and Macedon Plaza shopping precincts are moments away. Zoned for Templestowe Valley Primary School and Templestowe College, the home is also a short stroll from buses to Westfield Doncaster and The Pines.
Flooded with abundant natural light throughout, the main level comprises two substantial separate living zones. An inviting family room includes a cosy open fireplace, while an open plan living area features quality teak hardwood joinery. Each space boasts floor-to-ceiling windows capturing a magnificent elevated vista, and flows seamlessly out to a full-width undercover balcony ideal for relaxed alfresco entertaining. Enjoying a prized north-facing rear aspect, the garden has been thoughtfully designed to frame the view while obscuring the neighbouring properties, creating an unsurpassed sense of privacy and tranquility.
The leafy backyard sanctuary features an array of deciduous trees providing vibrant seasonal colour, including mature weeping cherry, pear, apple, maple, magnolia, crepe myrtle, bay and lemon trees. The garden also includes three productive grapevines, a sun-drenched lawn for children’s play, and native plantings attracting colourful local birdlife.

Recessed on the ground floor, a generous family zone includes a spacious retreat living area flowing to an undercover terrace overlooking the backyard. Three bedrooms include two with built-in wardrobes, complemented by a fully-tiled contemporary bathroom with a frameless glass rainfall shower, a stone vanity, a heated towel rail, and an indulgent deep bathtub.
