One of the early Fasham Johnson built properties, this home still has many of the original features they became known for. Set on a block of 5473m2 approx, this is country style living, but with the benefits and convenience of town location. The original owners had the land divided into pony paddocks, which could be reinstated if so desired. If you are looking for a solid 70's built original, then this could be the home for you!
The home is set back along a long driveway, hidden from the road. A large concrete forecourt and four car carport allow for excellent carparking and access. The brick home has the large windows Fasham Johnson was noted for, and upon entering the spacious entry hall, the slate floor is a standout feature of the time the home was built. These slate floors are still in excellent condition: a testament to the original quality of the build
To the right, the spacious L shaped lounge dining area has big picture windows, Fasham Johnson signature feature, and has a wood heater and split system for all year-round comfort. Sitting behind this, is the original kitchen, with the wooden louvre cupboard doors many of us grew up with. All electric, it also features a dishwasher. A servery hatch allows items to be passed conveniently to the dining space.
The dining area is adjacent to the kitchen, and again, the large windows and sliding doors are a feature here, allowing easy access to the outdoor dining area. Covered, it allows the area to be enjoyed all year round.
Down the hall, the first of the three bedrooms is found, a generous size, it also has a walkin robe and semi ensuite /shower room. This allows it to be a possible master bedroom, or a great room for a teenager. The good-sized laundry has external access, and the separate toilet and original family bathroom are also located here.
The third bedroom is currently used as study and has built in storage.
Adjacent, an extension has been constructed to form its own wing. Access is gained through a sitting room with its own wood heater. The master bedroom is lovely and bright, while the ensuite has been recently updated. A bonus here is the separate access onto the deck, which could lead to the possibility of utilizing this space as independent living for a dependant family member. It could also possibly be used for short term accommodation, providing additional income. (subject to appropriate permits)
A large deck that wraps its way around half the home has been recently renovated and is a real asset. The opportunity the land gives you is also a great strength, while providing space and privacy, it also can be used to create you own suburban farm, construct shedding if so desired (STCA), or just sit and enjoy. A footpath at the bottom of the street connects you to a bus stop a short walk away that takes you to Lilydale and Melbourne, while a twenty one minute walk ( according to Google) will land you right in the heart of Healesville Main Street, unless you take a detour to Four Pillars Gin, or one of the urban wineries that neighbour it! Then of course, there are the amazing attractions of the Yarra Valley also at your doorstep!
