Pretty vistas & versatile living amid charming grounds of 1,247sqm (approx.)
Discover century old trees framing lush scented gardens in no through road serenity concealing a charming home. Built by respected local builders FP Johansen & Sons in 1998, this property will fill your heart and your vases in leafy Aldgate.
Pretty vistas merge seamlessly to create breathtaking outlooks from every window as two entrances off the circular driveway lead to versatile, light-filled open plan living and entertaining including shady pop up zones around your botanical setting.
Lofty ceilings, recycled sash windows and French doors, leadlight and underfloor heating add robust refinement and character to magazine-worthy living. A sublime country kitchen with walk-in pantry and European appliances sits adjacent the cosy "snug" or formal lounge with wood burning fireplace and mantle. Lazy Sunday lunch or candlelit dinners, this is a home for hosting; a sprawling, north-facing paved terrace lays claim to many a family celebration.
An elevated accommodation wing with wool carpets hosts a dreamy master suite with recessed built-ins, en suite bathroom with soaker bath and a separate toilet, plus two further bedrooms sharing a lavish family bathroom.
Nearby, the detached studio with two-car carport is an ideal home office or guest wing with internet connection and approval to extend, declaring "there's always room at our house."
More cause for celebration...Golden Ash, Oaks and Acer trees carpeted by perennials, camellias and more, a shaded arbour to sit and ponder - a veritable pot of gold beneath nature's recurring rainbow palette.
Paths, terraced dry stone walls - even recycled stone curbing from St. Peters - meander through grounds established over 40 years, yet take little of your time to care for.
Tempted? Walking distance to Aldgate Village for cafés, gourmet fare or a pub lunch at the Aldgate Pump Hotel and simply minutes to Stirling and the freeway - this beauty is bound to sway you.
