Idyllic Arthurs Seat Garden Sanctuary
Idyllically set on a lush quarter-acre garden block, just a short nature-walk to the summit of Arthurs Seat, this three-bedroom split-level timber family home is rich in 1980s architectural appeal and offers spacious light-filled living enhanced by verdant garden vistas from every window. With plenty of off-street parking areas for caravans or boats, plus an undercover carport, there is a separate, solidly-built double garage/workshop at the front of the property that has a mezzanine studio space with water glimpses across the treetops, hinting at the potential for enjoying Bay views from an upper level extension or redevelopment of the main home (STCA).
Flanked by two undercover alfresco patios, the solidly-built homestead-style house features high, sloping raked ceilings, clerestory windows and pine and cedar panelled walls. The three bedrooms, all with built-in robes are on the upper split level, along with the bathroom with built-in tub and separate shower, and laundry with external access. The lower level comprises the lounge and dining spaces centred by the farmhouse kitchen with an Emilia free-standing gas cooker and Bosch Dishwasher, and the main living space has a Coonara wood heater and sliding glass doors that open to the north-west facing undercover alfresco patio, which is the perfect place to admire the glorious gardens, abundant in heirloom fruits, organic vegetables and fragrant herbs. Lush all-season lawns and exotic colour ensure beauty and enjoyment all year round, plus there is a garden shed, chicken coop, and a 50,000 litre in-ground water tank to complete the 'Good Life' package.
Private and sheltered, the gardens attract many species of local birdlife including kookaburras, king parrots, currawongs and eastern spinebills. Additional features include 3 kilowatt solar rooftop panels, reverse cycle heating/cooling and a new heat pump hot water system. Blissfully located in the heart of the Peninsula, an easy walk to Arthurs Seat State Park attractions including Seawinds Gardens, the OT Dam, and plenty of vantage points to enjoy some of the state's most amazing elevated coastal views, and it's just a few minutes' drive to Dromana foreshore and beach and Red Hill wineries and restaurants.
