Just minutes from central Eltham, the property enjoys a privileged rear boundary that borders both Wild Cherry Drive Reserve and the Yarra River. Originally named “The Rapids House”, it has long been a popular kayaking and swimming spot for locals. From the expansive entertainer’s deck, take in stunning views of the iconic Yarra River, a breathtaking backdrop for both quiet reflection and gatherings with friends. With direct access to the river itself, this is a residence that connects effortlessly with nature and exudes warmth, character, and charm. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors frame the natural surroundings beautifully, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors and filling the home with natural light. The expansive open-plan living and dining area is a true highlight, complete with a wood fireplace, balcony access, and sweeping treetop views. A light-filled reading nook provides a cosy retreat, while the original galley kitchen offers exciting potential for future enhancement.

A spacious family living room opens onto a wraparound verandah and a second balcony, ideal for effortless year-round entertaining with friends and family. Additional features include reverse-cycle heating/cooling in each bedroom, split-system heating and cooling, a dedicated laundry, a large workshop, under-house storage, a double carport, a bushfire safety bunker, a circular driveway, a firepit zone, and exceptionally rare direct access to the Yarra River.
