In a tranquil Mount Evelyn locale, beyond the privacy of electric gates and a long driveway, this unique property reveals two separate homes and a studio, offering unmatched flexibility and opportunity.
The main four-bedroom residence exudes quirky character, with a heartwarming and welcoming feel. Its modern renovations blend refined classic style with practicality and comfort. The second dwelling is a charming double-storey cottage with a versatile open layout. The two-room studio extends the accommodation and potential for this property to be everything you need and so much more.
A place for shared independence, work-life balance and flexibility, this property suits multigenerational families, investors, business owners and creatives alike. The possibilities here are generous and exciting.
Main residence:
A home that has developed its own hard-to-replicate personality, it is nestled within peaceful, leafy surrounds.
Living unfolds across three rooms, beginning at the front with the north-facing lounge, set before a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that open to a full-width covered deck and covered alfresco area. The second lounge is a more intimate space, warmed by an ornate gas log fire, and steps down to the dining area, where a cosy built-in table and seating sit beside a corner window. Modern French Provincial style shines in the kitchen, featuring a stone-topped central island, panelled Shaker cabinetry with ornate hardware, a farmhouse sink and quality appliances, including a five-burner cooktop, built-in microwave and dishwasher.
Luxuriously large, the main bedroom is a beautiful retreat overlooking a leafy garden. Its walk-in robe is expertly fitted, while the ensuite displays refined style with floor-to-ceiling tiling, two basins atop a timber vanity, a frameless shower with handheld attachment and built-in seat, and a separate toilet. Two further bedrooms are positioned along the hallway, each with extensive storage, while a third bedroom doubles as a study or home office. The family bathroom, with a large shower, bath and two-basin vanity, along with the separate toilet and laundry, has been renovated and finished in sophisticated style. Nearby, the mudroom entrance helps keep daily dirt contained.
The main residence also offers a downstairs bonus room, perfect for teens, an office or storage, ducted heating, evaporative cooling, ceiling fans, a large carport, underhouse access and water tanks.
The Cottage:
Originally a large garage, the cottage now provides a spacious open-plan living area with expansive north-facing windows that let the sun stream through. The space is anchored by a long bench workspace with beautiful finishes. A large bedroom or office also enjoys the northerly sun and offers a walk-in storage/laundry room and separate toilet.
A decorative spiral staircase leads upstairs to an open space with a storybook feel. A renovated bathroom, illuminated by a skylight, features a large shower with a seat, vanity and toilet. Further features include reverse-cycle heating and air conditioning, walk-in storage, a built-in bench, roof storage and a door opening onto a bridge leading to the backyard.
The Studio:
Quaint and tucked away beneath a leafy canopy, the studio is the definition of versatility. With two access doors, lined interiors, two rooms and a bay window, it could be a wonderful creative space, teen retreat, workshop or garage.
Gardens wrap around the homes, providing a verdant backdrop to daily life that is easy to maintain and even easier to enjoy. A big cubby house and playground, together with a huge sweeping lawn, offer hours of play for kids, all within the safety of this fully fenced property.
Ideally located for family life, everything you need is within easy reach: schools, parks, sport, buses and shops. Locals will attest to the prized position, opposite Kuranga Native Nursery, a walk to The Greenery, Tram Xpresso, Mount Evelyn Christian School and Mount Evelyn Recreation Reserve, offering quiet convenience and connections to community and nature that are so hard to come by. Harder still to find is a property like this. Miss it, and you may never find another quite like it.
