Olinda VIC 3788

Featured in Home Beautiful magazine in 1928 and held by the same family for nearly 50 years, historic "Hathaway" is a testament to timeless architecture paired with the warmth of a family home. A joy to behold set on 6,865sqm (approx.) of lush landscape framed by Copper beech trees, this residence will capture imaginations of architectural enthusiasts searching for their forever property. The original lychgate and paved drive lead into this magnificent property tucked between Mount Dandenong Tourist Road and Perrins Creek Road. Boasting exquisite outdoor entertaining areas, pathways meandering past an original pond and sundial, and an incredible array of established flora enjoyed by a bounty of wildlife, this is a haven in the heart of the Hills.
Inside, the retention of the original features has been a labour of love. Highlights including Jarrah wall panelling, leadlight and casement windows, and the original open wood fire feature in the lounge. The adjoining living area with gas log fire spills out to a flower-framed deck. The generous kitchen with timber cabinetry, slow combustion cooker, and vaulted ceilings serves as the hub of the home. With a 3rd living area/inspirational study and unique bedrooms including one with loft also on this level, there are endless spaces to explore.
On the lower level, the rumpus room/home office leads along a conservatory-style corridor to the 5th bedroom, luxurious bathroom with claw foot tub, and versatile sitting room with cathedral window that leads out to the deck that wraps around a glorious Liquidambar tree.
