Lifestyle Awaits
23 Henry St Healesville encapsulates what most of us are looking for in a home, privacy and a place to escape to and enjoy a quality life. This home offers this and more, with every aspect considered.
The long driveway winds its way to this single storey home, which is situated to maximise the 5838 square metre block . Along the way, it passes the substantial 12m x 12m shed, with power and water connected, concrete floor and wood heater, making this the perfect place to store your classic car, boat or caravan. Of course, if work is your home base, this space has got that need covered.
Leading up to the home, the driveway has been asphalted to complement the concrete approach to the home and large gravel forecourt, plenty of place to play, or park extra cars. The oversized carport has all new concrete sleeper retaining walls and direct access into the home via the huge laundry, the perfect scenario for depositing muddy boots, dogs or school bags before heading into the home.
A lovely veranda runs the length of the home, widening out to create a generous alfresco area, the perfect place to enjoy the local Yarra Valley wines and foods. Steel balustrading is a clever addition to thwart the pesky cockies! Another subtle touch that elevates this home. One of many!
The exterior interior transition of the home is seamless, with large windows maximising light at every point. A large welcoming kitchen area forms the centre point of the home's internal living spaces and the outdoor alfresco. A generous dining space compliments the kitchen and also offers additional space to sit by the woof fire. Fanning out from here is a large family room, with ample space for couches, tables, bookshelves and would make an ideal playroom.
Adjacent to the other end of the kitchen, is the second, more adult living space. One theme dominates all of the living spaces: They all share views out into the private garden, benefiting from the northern exposure.
The kitchen is delightful, with a long island bench made of beautiful, recycled jarrah, the all-important butler's pantry and newly updated stove complementing the other quality appliances. Made for entertaining, there is plenty of bench and storage space and the ideal place for a relaxed breakfast on a Sunday. Adding to the cosy feel is that wood heater nearby, perfect for those crisp Yarra Valley days. Plenty of space here for any occasion or just sit and read the Sunday paper. And that in itself is the clever design of this home; expansive enough for everyone to have their own realm, but intimate enough to gather everyone in…
Sitting behind here is the bedroom accommodation and family bathroom. The Master suite has a huge walk-in wardrobe, lovely ensuite and separate toilet, as well as the generous bedroom itself.
Also along the hall are the three other bedrooms, all ready for the kids to fight over who gets what! One of the bedrooms is extra large with windows on two sides, making it the ideal art studio, as its currently used as, or a lovely guest bedroom. As with everything in this home, the family bathroom is large, neat, tidy and neutral.
Behind the home is more garden, level and ideal for kicking a football. A garden shed is also here, while the front garden is designed to be easy care, low maintenance.
