Edwardian charm immersed in magnificent gardens
More than a century of character defines this gorgeous c1915 Edwardian residence, surrounded by magnificent gardens alive with spring colour on approximately 1201sqm of land. Elevated on Heidelberg Hill, the home has been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully enhanced, creating a remarkable family sanctuary where original architecture, peaceful views and generous indoor-outdoor areas blend seamlessly.
Beyond the inviting front porch, soaring ceilings, timber floors, exquisite stained-glass windows and original fireplaces reveal the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The elegant lounge room is warmed by an open fire, while a fireside dining room provides a beautiful setting for dinner parties and special occasions. The relaxed family room, also adorned with an open fire, accompanies a casual meal area and gourmet kitchen featuring quality appliances and stone benchtops.
Family accommodation spans two levels, with a private ground-floor bedroom offering flexibility for guests or older children. Upstairs, three light-filled bedrooms beneath angular ceilings capture beautiful views across the garden and surrounding district. The generous main bedroom enjoys a beautifully renovated private ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms share an equally impressive new bathroom featuring a striking Roman bath.
Outside, the gardens have been lovingly reimagined and feature established trees, flowering borders and meandering pathways that create an enchanting backdrop that changes with the seasons. A private covered deck overlooks the solar-heated pool and garden, providing a wonderful setting for casual meals and entertaining.
A beautifully appointed self-contained cottage features a loft bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and a living area, making it ideal for extended family, guests or independent accommodation. A double garage with a mezzanine level and attached studio/home office is accessed from the laneway, adding further flexibility for those running a business or working remotely. Additional highlights include hydronic heating, split-system air conditioning, large cat enclosure, a large chicken coop, veggie garden, fruit trees, a cascading fishpond and three water tanks.
