The iconic Yarra River and Pound Bend Reserve provide a spectacular backdrop to this craftsman-built residence on approximately 3,696sqm. Nestled within manicured grounds, the multi-gen-friendly home was designed to blend into its environment and celebrate it from every angle, with soaring raked ceilings, walls of glazing and reclaimed materials connecting it to the landscape.
Heading up the sealed driveway, which branches off to parking areas, a double-sided staircase rises to a wrap-around verandah, where a feature pond enhances the home's sense of tranquillity. Beyond a secure entrance, a striking library with a mezzanine level creates an inspiring work-from-home setting. A versatile floorplan unfolds from here, led by grand lounge and dining areas warmed by an open fireplace.
At the heart of the home, a sophisticated kitchen and family domain caters effortlessly to modern living. Adorned with stone surfaces, boasting abundant storage including a walk-in pantry, and opening to an expansive courtyard complemented by a gazebo and firepit, indoor and outdoor entertaining is made easy.
A versatile rumpus room with a sink and access to the front, rear and side of the property offers an ideal setup for teens, in-laws or guests, while a mezzanine level above forms one of the home's five bedrooms. The remaining accommodation comprises three bedrooms on the lower level, serviced by two bathrooms, including one with a spa bath. Occupying the top floor, the private master suite is a retreat unto itself, complete with a sitting area, dressing room, stunning ensuite and viewing balcony.
Further highlights include a study area, ducted heating, split system cooling, generous attic and under-house storage, two large water tanks, two sheds (one with running water) and a double carport.
A serene Warrandyte sanctuary, this is a rare opportunity to secure a property of extraordinary character and lifestyle appeal just moments from the river’s edge, bus services, trails, reserves, schools (pre, primary and secondary), a family care centre, specialty stores and eateries.
We donate a portion of our fee from every property transaction to the Woodards Foundation to support people experiencing homelessness, family violence and social isolation.
