Rarely does an opportunity arise to secure an idyllic lifestyle property upon approx. 6.4 acres of native bushland!
Relocated from the prized waterfront setting of Drumcondra, this character home is overflowing with period charm. With a stunning renovation completed over the last four years, you'll love that the interiors reflect the home's rich history with soaring ceilings and decorative plasterwork.
The lounge entices you to sit back and relax, while the open plan dining/kitchen zone inspires the whole family to come together at the end of the day. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with stone benchtops, a butler's pantry and stainless steel appliances (Bosch dishwasher and Westinghouse 900mm oven/electric cooktop).
The Master Bedroom creates a peaceful retreat for parents with a dressing room and en suite. Two additional bedrooms feature built-in robes. Boasting independent access, the third bedroom is ideal for family members who enjoy their own space or could even be used as a second living area. The main bathroom will delight with a shower and semi-attached bathtub, while the laundry features external access.
Graced with a picturesque outlook over the bushland, the enclosed swimming pool room (solar-heated) provides a sensational setting for family fun. The alfresco deck soaks up the north-eastern sunshine, while the undercover patio is the perfect spot to enjoy summer drinks with friends. You'll be in comfort all year long thanks to a 10.5KW zoned ducted heating/cooling system, a split-system air conditioner and ceiling fans.
Whether you're collecting fresh eggs from the fox-proof chook pen, enjoying fruit straight from the branch, or picking veggies for your favourite recipes, you'll adore this sustainable lifestyle. 30 solar panels benefit both the environment and your bank account, while approx. 90 000L of rainwater storage service the house and gardens. A walking path winds through tranquil bushland, where you can look out for wildlife and listen to the bird's songs drift through the air.
The self-contained bungalow is ideal as a teen retreat or could even be transformed into the ultimate home studio. The garage features a bar area and wood heater, while the expansive grounds are home to a clay-lined dam and additional shedding, including a three-bay shed.
The quaint main street is steeped in Gold Rush history, while this picturesque region is home to national parks and local wineries. The vibrant town centre of Bannockburn takes care of everyday essentials, while the morning school run is a breeze thanks to the local school bus passing by the front gate. With Ring Road access approx. 25-minutes away, you can enjoy easy access to Melbourne.
If you're dreaming of a tree change, this lifestyle property is truly one-of-a-kind!
