Gracing a leafy corner block of more than half an acre *, this classic four-bedroom-plus-study Mount Eliza residence is rich in bespoke mid-century charm. Its high-end contemporary fit-out, multi-gen family friendly floorplan and spacious, light-filled living and entertaining spaces are captivating, as are its alfresco decking and inground solar-heated swimming pool.
Privately positioned down a long garden-lined drive featuring a turning circle centred with a sculptural eucalypt, the abundantly glazed north-facing circa-1960s façade is resplendent with vertical weatherboards and a double-brick chimney-wall topped with an iconic rotating cowl.
Inside, original Tasmanian oak floorboards flow through the expansive open-plan living and dining space, headed by a gourmet stone-topped kitchen with a broad island bench/breakfast bar and equipped with quality appliances including a Bosch oven and dishwasher and a Blanco gas cook top. Copious natural light floods in through banks of sliding doors, presenting lush garden and pool outlooks, with seasonal Bay glimpses, while a fabulously scaled original open fireplace adds a warming ambience, complemented by split system heating/cooling.
The adaptable four-bedroom, three-bathroom layout offers options for master suites, studies and living spaces. An elevated rear bedroom suite, with kitchenette, ensuite and undercover deck access could be ideal for home-based business pursuits, a studio or AirBnb, or just the set-up for multi-generational families.
The sparkling salt-chlorinated, solar-heated swimming pool has been newly fenced and is surrounded by glorious gardens incorporating meandering pathways, a mix of native trees and shrubbery, productive fruit trees, including lemon, cherry, mulberry and cumquat, and raised vegetable beds. There is even a bocce court, perfectly positioned for leisurely summer afternoons, and an original Hills Hoist rotary clothesline.
Additional features include rooftop solar panels, a new heat-pump hot water service, water tanks, multiple options for storage including two garden sheds and a greenhouse, under-house storage, a woodshed, a double carport plus plenty of off-street parking including spaces for caravans, boats and trailers.
This fabulous family-friendly location, on the edge of Mount Eliza's prized Woodland precinct, is surrounded by tranquil natural bushland reserves including the Kackeraboite Creek trail, Moorooduc Quarry Flora and Fauna park and the Banool Bushland Reserve. Walk to the local shops and café, transport, plus walk to local schools including St Thomas More Primary School (just across the road), Peninsula Grammar and Mount Eliza Primary School, and it's just minutes to Mount Eliza village and the beaches.
