Overview

A rare find in the Grove

Originally conceived in the 1970's by celebrated Australian architect Michael Dysart, Wybalena Grove is emblematic of a planned community in a bushland setting with sustainable design elements, shared community spaces, and beautifully crafted natural brick and timber features which fit subtly into the Bush Capital's natural landscape. Situated at the very top of the Grove, number 68 is an outstanding example Dysart's vision but with a modern twist. With just one common wall, and a coveted single-level design this is a unique take on life at the Grove. Extended and renovated in 2022 by it's current owners, the brief was to sympathetically create a separate space which provides for superb versatility in the form of a studio/bedsit - perfect for multi-generational living or a self-contained live-in carer. Panoramic skylights and extensive double-glazed timber windows were incorporated into the design, flooding the studio with morning and afternoon sun. It's the perfect spot for family gatherings and a inspirational space for artists or those working from home. An enormous open plan living room continues the theme of rich timber accents and extensive glazing and is complimented by a bold kitchen with black highlights and a bespoke glass feature art splash back. A broad north-facing exposure and double sliding doors allows for plenty of sunlight and vistas to the outdoor patio and private courtyard gardens beyond. The recent renovations also saw the creation of a second bathroom/euro laundry space designed for dual living which adapts to your needs. The private front and rear courtyards, surrounded by established gardens, create a tranquil sanctuary to entertain friends or to sit and enjoy with the many birds which frequent the Grove, often making a splash in the marble water feature. An outdoor garden storage/bike shed is a welcome addition and there's two carparks, one under cover with allocated power for a future EV charger. With its unique studio and sun-drenched interiors, 68 Wybalena Grove represents a premier opportunity for those looking to downsize and equally for discerning buyers in search of a level of versatility which is hard to come by. Local amenities at the Jamieson and Cook shops are moments away as is Aranda's Two Before Ten eatery/bar and there's wonderful nature reserve walking trails leading from your doorstep.
