Menzies Creek VIC 3159

The boot room has Art Nouveau lead-light windows which harmonise with the Encaustic tiles, imported from Vietnam, to create a space that seems too lovely for muddy boots yet suits its purpose perfectly.
Upstairs, the 2 single bedrooms have built in beds to maximise the view and to gently nuzzle you into the embrace of the Linden Tree. The golden walls capture the sunlight whilst the hand-crafted book shelves hold treasures yet to be found, making these rooms utterly delightful. Two further large bedrooms offer the heritage charm of high ceilings, panelled walls & Baltic floors. Further wall-panels in a dark olive hue set the vintage claw-foot bath off with aplomb.
Beyond the house itself, a fully self-contained studio is currently set up as a family workshop/play space. In the new world of Airbnb it could become a handy income maker or simply put your overnight guests up in comfort & style.
A perennial garden of camellias, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, azaleas, hellebores and countless others flowers all year round. There are a variety of heritage fruit trees including apple, pear, orange, plum and lemon and an extensive food forest offering elder flower, rhubarb, blueberries, raspberries, crab apples, sloe and Jerusalem artichokes.
As you wander past the produce growing middle third of the garden, a path will lead you into the fern forest, over a bridge and up to the Puffing Billy Railway track just beyond the rear boundary. Imagine walking the kids to one of the state's top Primary schools or the most highly regarded Steiner schools along an old steam train track!
Located midway between Belgrave & Emerald townships, with public bus transport a short walk away and convenient access to both Burwood Highway and Wellington Rd - it's an easy commute.
This time-honoured home will make life slow down - simplicity at its absolute finest waits for new custodians.
