Preceded by a white picket fence and brimming with Victorian detail, this majestic home not only offers a prime, elevated position with views of the Yarra Valley, but also is within one of the area's Prestige estates with a north-facing focus on space, style and storage. With hedging, established trees and enviable gardens creating charming views from within, this home sits superbly on its generous block of about 738sqm approximately and has beautiful attention to period detail including delicate lacework, bullnose verandah, corbelled arches, ceiling roses, wooden floors and two gas open fireplaces, plus a supremely spacious floor plan featuring extensive formal and informal living, exquisite granite kitchen with Smeg and Miele appliances, and an upstairs four-bedroom wing featuring a balcony embracing the views.
With a pretty hedge-lined path, the home steps up to a grand, tiled entrance foyer. A bay window facing the landscaped front garden creates an elegant feel to the formal lounge at the front, with a gas log fireplace and timber mantel, and flows through to a dining area for effortless entertaining. From here, the house opens to a full-width living zone featuring the granite kitchen, meals and sitting room, each with garden views and polished wooden floors. Featuring wide granite benches and splash backs, Smeg oven, Smeg 5-burner cooktop and Miele dishwasher, the kitchen also offers plenty of storage, but this house provides even more living space with a rumpus room beyond, complemented by another gas log fireplace. There are four sets of French doors in this entire rear section that open outdoors to the backyard - which comprises paving, a pretty gazebo, split-level lawns and enough privacy to happily while away hours in the garden oasis.
A wide staircase up to a peaceful landing opens to the second floor, and balcony with wonderful views, while the main bedroom is vast with a spa ensuite with dual granite vanities and double shower, plus mirrored walk-in robes and mirrored built-in robes. The other robed bedrooms share a granite bathroom, and downstairs there's a study, powder room and laundry with granite bench tops too!
Beautifully designed with practicality in mind, there is masses of storage throughout, as well as climate-controlled air-conditioning and heating, ducted vacuum, alarm system, shed and double garage with through access to the rear, as well as a coveted position within Yarra Valley Estate, close to the Yarra Valley Parklands, Bulleen Plaza, transport, local schools and the Eastern Freeway.
