Celebrating elevated living within Mount Eliza's prestigious Woodland environs, this character rich four-five-bedroom, three-bathroom brick family home offers spacious and adaptable dual-level living surrounded by an oasis of professionally laid-out ornamental and productive gardens on more than half-an-acre.
Built in 1970, one of the Woodland Estate's original homes, the double storey brick residence was custom designed to enjoy treetop outlooks from its broad upper-level balcony and main living areas. Rich in character, the home has a distinctive early mid-century vibe, enhanced with a crazy-paved balcony, leadlight internal sliding doors, double-hung timber windows and French doors opening to garden terraces. Newly equipped with a Smeg induction cooktop and multi-function oven, the stone-topped kitchen also has an integrated Asko dishwasher and large walk-in preparation pantry, while newly installed bi-folding glass doors open out to the rear balcony, with access stairs to the garden.
Currently owned by a professional nurseryman, the well-established gardens are a veritable paradise appealing to all members of the family, featuring a series of garden 'rooms' and structures, including a wood-fire pizza pergola, a charming timber gazebo 'tea room', a sprawling decked custom 'tree house', a cubby, a chook enclosure, a citrus and stone fruit orchard, a vegetable garden and a greenhouse.
With treetop and/or garden outlooks from every room, the internal layout offers flexibility and adaptability for multi-generational families, or home-based business pursuits, with separate entrances and self-contained living/working/entertaining functionality on each level. Additional features include gas ducted heating, a wood fire heater (downstairs rumpus) evaporative air conditioning and Nobu wall panels, automated blinds and awnings (upstairs).
The exclusive Mount Eliza Woodland precinct is highly regarded for its tightly held properties on large, leafy allotments, with easy access to bushland walking trails and an abundance of local native birdlife, yet just five minutes to Mount Eliza village, beaches and excellent local schools including Peninsula Grammar and Toorak College.
