On approximately five picturesque acres at the edge of the Yarra Valley, Birchgrove offers a rare blend of timeless Victorian elegance and generous family space. Manicured gardens frame the residence, with a wraparound verandah guiding you inside to interiors filled with character — polished Brushed Box timber floors, ornate high ceilings with decorative roses, and the welcoming warmth of an open fireplace.
Two spacious living areas cater to both formal and relaxed occasions, including a family room with a second wood fire. The solid timber kitchen combines style and practicality, boasting granite benchtops, a gas cooktop, walk-in pantry and abundant storage.
The master suite is a private retreat, featuring a bay window with garden views, a walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite. In a separate wing, four additional bedrooms — one with its own ensuite — enjoy tranquil garden vistas, accompanied by a vast rumpus room, a home office or sixth bedroom, and a family bathroom with a spa bath.
Outside, the wide verandah and a charming gazebo create the perfect setting for entertaining or simply enjoying the uninterrupted outlook over the dam, rolling green paddocks, and distant hills. A barn-style workshop with mezzanine, additional car accommodation, irrigation-fed gardens, solar power, and ample water storage enhance the property’s appeal, alongside thoughtful touches such as a chicken coop and dog run.
All this is set within easy reach of Eastern and Yering Meadows Golf Clubs, zoned for Yering Primary School and Lilydale Heights College, and just a short drive to Chirnside Park, Lilydale Village, the train station and Lake. It’s a home that offers the best of both worlds — country serenity and everyday convenience.
