Last Listing description (November 2022)
A prestigious Rutherford Road address perfectly positioned between Upwey and Tecoma, a sweeping corner block with lashings of old-world allure define this vintage classic circa 1920 with brilliant, elevated views over the Upwey Recreation Reserve and nearby hills. Sympathetically updated over its lifetime with only four owners contributing to its timeless design, the home is framed by glorious gardens awash with European classics, a grand century old silver birch and unique and wondrous specimens that transform throughout the seasons.
Wander through time with original hardwood floors, Japanese oak panelling, a regal open fireplace which backs onto the wood fire stove in the kitchen, large high box-beam ceiling in the lounge, exquisite diamond glass windows and period lights that give a throwback to the day. Best of all the updates over the years blend into the era to create a magnificent slice of history to call your own. Whether you enjoy as-is for now or plan to update for the future, youll want to retain some of these wonderfully nostalgic elements.
A dreamy wisteria-clad front veranda is a perfect introduction to the home and is where youll spend time with a cuppa admiring the morning sun and hill views.
Step into a large lounge with hearty open fire overflowing with period flair, before the back half of the home unfolds from a hallway. Here you will find a sunroom/second living and a cosy kitchen original in every way but overflowing in character and functionality featuring a vintage green Early Kooka gas stove, wood oven, separate walk-in pantry with cellar and a servery to the lounge.
Three bedrooms, two of which have a BIR, provide comfort with one sun-kissed at the front of the home also with a separate entrance making it a perfect home office as much as a drying room! A bathroom and separate toilet have been tastefully updated to reflect the era.
Glorious gardens frame the home with unique plantings, many that have been lovingly tendered over the last 40 years by the current owner. Lush fern gardens, a picket-fenced front pond with water lilies and a large garden at the back of the home are brimming with magnolias, Morton Bay figs, Japanese maples, cherry plum, native bamboo, Dutch meddlar, a snowball tree, a giant bird of paradise and your very own holly trees when its time for Christmas festivities. There are places to sit and reflect, enjoy the sunshine or potter to your hearts content.
