Last Listing description (October 2024)
A rare opportunity to secure this truly unique home, offered to the market for only the second time since construction by it's original owner in the 1960's. A solid old-fashioned build with classic contemporary architecture comprising of magnificently large windows throughout the home from which to take in the natural light, peaceful gardens and abundance of native wildlife. Located on the top of a hill, you'll enjoy sunrises and sunsets every day, with kookaburras, rainbow parakeets, rosellas and many more native birds transient through the property.
Located within the highly sought after prestige pocket of Warrandyte on the border of Templestowe and Doncaster East, convenience is a large feature of this mainly flat parcel of land of just under an acre.
Warrandyte High School, Currawong Bush Park and bus stops are within a leisurely two-minute walk, while The Pines and Goldfields shopping centres, Warrandyte town centre, the Yarra River, Mullum Mullum Trail and everything else Warrandyte has on offer are within a leisurely five-minute drive. The Eastern Freeway and Westfield Doncaster are within a 10-minute drive.
From the street there's not much to see, but drive beyond the tall front hedge into the large circular driveway and you will be welcomed by a private and unique garden which beautifully blends the house with the environment.
The home is a spectacular 1960's architectural design built in an era of quality and thoughtfulness, and with consideration towards the sun, land and environment. A comprehensive high-quality renovation by the current owners has lovingly brought this masterpiece back to life.
The top end kitchen is sleek and stunning, with stone benchtops, high end appliances, soft close cabinetry, and views into the gardens.
The master wing at one end of the home is a genuine place of retreat, reflection and rejuvenation. This secluded wing of the home encompasses the large master bedroom, en-suite with double shower and bath, a study nook with built in desk, and behind a floating wall is a comprehensive walk-in robe including a built-in ironing station.
At the other end of the home are the additional bedrooms, both with built-in robes, and a second bathroom with twin vanities.
A spectacular open outdoor entertaining balcony is the highlight at the rear, overlooking seemingly endless pastures of lush lawns and towering established trees for the kids and pets to explore.
The versatile lower level has endless potential with two store rooms and undercover parking for two cars.
High quality fittings throughout the home, centrally controlled 3 zone heating, whole house cooling, 40,000 litre water tank capacity, and large storage shed.
Given the block is largely flat, there are endless options to considerably extend the home, while still retaining large gardens.
