With an arrival as breathtaking as its botanical setting, there are ways to escape the city hum and this extended and elevated 1950s family home on 6.3 acres makes all the right moves.
And if you're here for the lush, private, stone-walled serenity that's hosted many a garden wedding beneath the towering Pin Oak and its waterfall backdrop, this is where the magic happens.
Stunning grounds deserve big windows. Bay, sash, picture and double-glazed, none misses its moment in this solidly built four-bedroom design. Multiple entry points, multiple levels and flexible living spaces, with private front and rear terraces, all gravitate towards the home's social axis: the classic Blackwood timber kitchen.
Its timeless stature has served the years well, offers generous storage and bench space, and delivers one of the home's many quirks: a servery pass.
And throughout the home, its enduring elegance meets modern ambition for the buyer seeking a balance of both.
Novel storage and linen closets line the home's solid walls, new carpets line the living spaces and sun-bathed bedrooms, while the main vintage bathroom trends all over again with original gold accents.
Awash in daylight, the craft room, adjacent the kitchen, laundry, and guest powder room, deserves admiration whether you're hobby-minded or otherwise. Wall-length custom storage, a central bench for sewing or folding, and a picture window gives the room beauty with a purpose.
Downstairs, once a hobby den becomes anything your heart or family want: a playroom or games zone with bench seat storage, outdoor reach and workshop access and rarely do you get a concreted garage/workshop that offers this much natural light.
In Aldgate, the grounds are naturally undulating. Here, tall shade meets open clearings, winding pathways, fruit trees, sunny spots for vegie gardens or a small orchard, and play space ahead of a bushland escarpment.
Rosellas, finches and red-tailed black cockatoos add more colour and audio to gardens heaving with camellias, roses and rhododendrons - tree ferns too -paradise for the botanist, a beautiful project for anyone else.
Yet there's sensibility to its spectacle. Ample car parking, rainwater and dam capacity with a pump for irrigation, and soothing outlooks you couldn't repeat without a half-century wait time.
