Set on an expansive allotment of approximately 1,114 sqm, this solidly built Californian family home is surrounded by beautifully lush, mature gardens and fruit trees that create a tranquil and picturesque backdrop.
"The Orchard" was originally built in 1926, showcasing timeless character and charm from the era, which is seamlessly enhanced by a thoughtfully designed rear extension that adds generous family living space, suited to modern lifestyles.
Recently refurbished inside and out, the home is in excellent condition and ready to move in, offering an outstanding lifestyle in the ever-popular, family-friendly pocket of Toorak Gardens, with scope to further extend or develop (subject to all necessary consents).
The interior boasts elegant period features, including original ceilings and rich jarrah wood floorboards that flow from the entrance hall to a formal sitting room and adjoining dining room. Accommodation comprises five well-zoned bedrooms - three at the front, a fully tiled bathroom, and a further two positioned at the rear, serviced by a second bathroom that also doubles as a laundry.
A stylish, well-appointed Oregon timber kitchen features Corian benchtops and Miele's premium appliances, including oven streamer and warming oven. It flows to a family living area with an adjoining study zone, overlooking a deck and a brick-paved alfresco dining and entertaining space.
Additional features include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, ducted gas heating, a log fireplace in the dining room, quality fixtures and fittings, ample storage, kid-friendly gardens, and extra off-street parking.
A vine-draped pergola leads to a deep, ornamental garden framed by mature trees, perfect for relaxed outdoor living. Three rainwater tanks, plumbed together, have a total capacity of 25,000 litres, supporting this lush landscape and ensuring efficient and sustainable water use throughout the home and garden.
The garden is bursting with an incredible variety of fruit and nut trees, including orange, mango, avocado, sapote, pomegranate, fuji, apples, quince, peach, blood orange, mandarins, plum, macadamia, fig, lemon myrtle, pear, mulberry, cherry, cumquat, banana, peacharine, bay leaf, apricot, strawberry guava, elderberry, and walnut.
