Architecturally designed with passive features and exceptional garden vistas, this elegant Mount Macedon residence rests on just under half an acre, making it the perfect sized country retreat.
Beginning in an established, English style garden, the grounds are awash with colour, produce, and natural shade. Embracing the home is an eclectic mix of rhododendrons, hydrangeas, roses, maples, and a standout elm creating a graceful canopy for outdoor entertaining. A feast is found amongst the raised vegetable garden and burgeoning orchard, whilst a winter creek (with footbridge) and original smokehouse (still in working order) adds interest.
Inside the home, a wide entry hall, clerestory windows, and garden framed rooms create light and a welcoming sense of calm. Of the three bedrooms, two have built-in robes with the master enjoying its own tidy ensuite. A sunken lounge room (cooled via shutter blinds and warmed via open fire) and an open study are cleverly zoned, making them ideal for growing families. A big, woodfire heater centres the open-plan meals and kitchen area, the latter featuring European appliances, breakfast bar, and grapevine views. Completing the home is a central bathroom (with bath), good size laundry (connecting to a fenced dog run), ducted gas heating, town water/gas, garden shed, and double garage.
Surrounded by parklike neighbouring properties and taking in views to Mt Towrong (from the newly established perennial garden), the property feels more like a private country escape than a home just minutes from Mt Macedon, Macedon, Woodend, and Gisborne. Connected to great public and private schools, cafes, supermarkets, V/Line, and with easy access to the Calder FWY, calling this property home is easy to imagine.
