A stone's throw from the beating heart of Mt Eliza Village, rarely does a property deliver such a compelling convergence of architectural heritage, generous land and village convenience as this beautifully renewed Merchant Builder's home.
Set in a quiet court just around the corner from village restaurants, supermarkets, boutiques and 1.6km from the beach, this distinctive double brick home embraces all the hallmarks of its famed Australian mid-century design with rich timeless features and an enduring connection between architecture and landscape.
Set on more than one-third of an acre (1412m2 approx), the substantial allotment offers exceptional opportunity to extend the existing residence, introduce a swimming pool or create an entirely new architectural statement (STCA) in this sought-after neighbourhood where numerous properties have recently undergone a lovely modern transformation.
With native gardens alive with Eastern Rosellas and Lorikeets, the floorplan wraps around a north-facing courtyard that provides a sun trap for alfresco entertaining with shade sails creating an inviting alfresco sanctuary for long summer lunches and evenings with family and friends.
With a handmade double brick construction and soaring cedar ceilings reinforcing the connection with the outdoors, the home's original warmth has been beautifully complemented by a refined recent renovation featuring a stone-topped kitchen with large Falcon oven, integrated Asko dishwasher and triple-stacked window opening to the rear gardens.
Two living domains both open through double doors to the courtyard, featuring a large main lounge with a glowing wood heater with an adjoining dining zone. The primary bedroom includes a stylish ensuite and walk-in robe, while the children's wing includes two bedrooms, a family bathroom and a second living area.
At the rear, steps ascend through an impressive retaining wall of giant granite rocks to a garden that provides wonderful space for children to play beside raised veggie beds and a series of fruit trees including cherries, figs, oranges and lemon trees.
A sweeping driveway passes the residence to an expansive rear zone with extraordinary parking space, ideal for tradies and a caravan or boat, while double-glazed windows, brushed brass tapware and door furniture, split-system air-conditioning and retractable flyscreens complete this endless list of features.
