What's around 55 Falls Rd

Wycefn

From humble beginnings in the 1920s when this beautiful character home was hewn from the local Mountain Ash, the lovely waxed patina on the original polished hardwood floors and mill sawn marks through the weatherboards reminds us of a time when mountain men and women settled this mainly forested mountain. The journey of the current owners of Wycefn started 13 years ago when they embarked on their first inspection of this stunning acre plus, which started from charming beginning and has been transformed into a paradise of magnificent gardens and stone paths. At the end of the long driveway the steeply pitched gables protrude over the weeping cherries and climbing rose arbors. French doors open into a wide entry through which the views open out through the formal lounge/dining room beyond the wide covered verandah to Silvan Reservoir and the Warburton Ranges. Enjoy a stunning north easterly aspect where on occasions the low clouds peer back and leave you breathless. The kitchen like most homes is the hub of family life, and the meal preparation is a breeze with the Stainless Steel 90cm Ilve stove and clean-up just as easy with the Miele dishwasher. There is plenty of room for chatting, reclining, studying or just relaxing on the wide window seat and taking in the magnificent garden views. The three separate living areas allow plenty of options for all members of the family to find a quiet room to enjoy. Upstairs is wondrous with the gabled ceilings, and sash windows create a soft ambience, where the use of painted timber lining and a huge box bay window (which doubles as a queen size bed, which folds out and the large cushions create a mattress). The main bedroom en suite, his and hers walk-in robes, plus a study or 5th bedroom complete this second level hideaway. Wide verandahs front and rear, a swim spa and stunning landscaping with huge areas of stone paving create outdoor zones for all year round entertaining. There is even a massive grassed area for playing with the kids or the family pets. Enhancing this wonderful property, there is also the advantage of full access at the rear of the acreage (via Warwick Road). Surprises are around every corner from the Wisteria walk out front to the huge storage areas underneath. This sensational Falls Road property will delight the senses in every respect.

If you are moving up the mountain - get Corinne !

This lady has what it takes to be Australia's best real estate agent. We have moved 19 times in 35 years and no-one matches her professionalism, warmth and enthusiasm for getting a result for us. From go to Whoa, Corinne listened intently to what we wanted and never missed a beat with her recommendations, matching homes perfectly to our needs every time without fail, saving us so much time and energy as she did ALL the work!... finally the chemistry kicked in and we found the perfect property but only because of Corinne's tireless support and 'can do' approach. Nothing was too much trouble and we loved her sincere, non pushy, no time restriction, tireless approach to ensure we were completely satisfied. I can't recommend her highly enough, ..if you are moving up the mountain...get Corinne :-)
