11-13 Glenvale Road, Donvale, Vic 3111

It's not everyday that you have an opportunity to purchase a piece of history, particularly a home with strong historical ties to Donvale's former life with sprawling orchards. And that's exactly what this restored former farmhouse presents.

Boasting the original facade from the 1924-built farmhouse, this tastefully updated home on a huge 1234sqm (approx.) corner allotment also offers a potential stream of income with the possibility of leasing the separate two-bedroom unit that occupies the far corner of the block! And if it's not put up for rent, extended family members can have a private place to stay without feeling like they're intruding!

Tasteful updates to the main home infuse modern appeal with the home's classic past, evident in the radiant open-plan living set beneath soaring high ceilings and split-system heating and cooling that complements the open fireplace. An open kitchen packs plenty of wow factor with its timber benchtops, Lofra 900mm stainless steel freestanding cooker and stainless steel dishwasher, while enjoy the benefits of indoor-outdoor living with the seamless integration between the light-filled Living and entertaining terrace, which overlooks a large grassed yard for kids.

A downstairs retreat with wet bar has 'man cave' written all over it, while an outstanding outdoor entertaining set-up nestled amongst landscaped gardens is a treat for all with its arrangement of an 'outdoor room' with wood-fired BBQ and an adjacent undercover area.

Bedrooms are of a generous nature and are serviced by a renovated bathroom; an additional living space at the rear of the home, meanwhile, lends itself to a host of living options.

The separate two-bedroom unit is fully self-contained with kitchenette, living area, heating, bathroom facilities and courtyard that overlooks a sizeable parcel of land that is perfect for growing your own produce.

This property also provides convenient access to Eastland Shopping Centre, Ringwood Heights Primary School, scenic walking paths and Eastlink.
