A thoughtful blend of engaging renovations, elegant original character and beautiful seasonal gardens creates a family home of genuine warmth and comfort. Set well back on a generous block framed by cottage-style landscaping, the home makes an immediate impression with its inviting spaces, practical design and excellent off-street parking, all just minutes from leading schools, mountain walks and major shopping destinations.
Designed with growing families in mind, the accommodation begins with double-glazed windows at the front of the house, leading into the downstairs with three light-filled bedrooms featuring bespoke handmade storage, including a guest bedroom with wall-to-wall built-in robes. A skylit, subway-tiled bathroom with frameless shower, floating vanity and deep soaking bath delivers a refined everyday retreat. Privately positioned on its own level, the master suite enjoys sun-drenched views from a built-in window box seat overlooking the rear garden, complemented by a custom walk-in robe, a fully tiled ensuite with granite-topped dual vanity, rainfall shower and freestanding bath, plus an adjoining study or parents’ retreat.
The front living zone honours the home’s original charm with French windows and polished hardwood floors, enhanced by a soft pastel palette, VJ-panelled walls with integrated storage and a gas log fireplace. Ornate French doors lead to the open-plan family and dining area where polished concrete floors meet a statement kitchen and butler’s pantry, highlighted by sea pearl granite benchtops, breakfast bar, quality Miele and Bosch appliances, and under-floor heating. Stacker doors extend the living outdoors to a generous entertaining area ideal for summer barbecues, bordered by slate stone retaining walls, a whimsical cubby house and a large shed with workbench, alongside a carport and ample parking for multiple vehicles, a boat, trailer or caravan.
Positioned for lifestyle and convenience, the home is close to Yarra Valley Grammar, Luther and Oxley Colleges, Village School, Yarra Road Primary and Wonga Park Primary School. Chirnside Park, Croydon and Exeter Road shopping, McAdam Square and Jefferies Providore are all within easy reach, while Pezzimenti, Griff Hunt and Hochkins Ridge Flora Reserves, Mount Lofty and nearby bus services connect effortlessly to Eastlink and the Yarra Valley wineries. The transformation is complete with ducted heating, split systems, carpeted bedrooms, quality window furnishings, LED and feature lighting, generous laundry, abundant storage, roller shutters, a water tank and beautifully established gardens.
